CLEAN UP YOUR ACT!


Using Artifi cial Intelligence, Hoover’s innovative AXI washer dryer [8] quickly learns to recognise your voice and your laundry habits, and can be controlled via an App on your smart phone or tablet. You can ask it for suggestions about the best washing programme and for stain removal advice – and it can even tell you the best time to do your laundry based on the weather forecast. It will talk directly to a technical service team to speed up diagnosis of problems too. Left the house and realised you’ve forgotten to put the dishwasher on? Worry not, with Siemens SN278I36TE model – by connecting your smartphone


or tablet to it, you can begin the washing cycle even when you’re out of the house. Its Home Connect App comes with a range of additional features such as appliance tutorials and tips, recipe ideas and information on the status of your dishwasher too. The dishwasher [7] itself


incorporates the Zeolith drying system which converts moisture stored in the unit into energy to


quickly help dry your dishes, so you can take them from the


appliance and straight back to the cupboard, while brilliantShine leaves your glasses crystal clear. Washing time can be reduced by up to 66% without compromising on the results with the varioSpeed Plus setting too.
