It said ESK members also gave high marks for efficiency and emotional appeal of the product.

The washer offers flexibility and choices to users by combining a small top-load and a main front-load machine into a single unit.

Because the smaller top load washer is placed high on the machine it is easy to reach and use. Samsung, moreover, used transparent windows and developed special vibration control to make its product more user-friendly.

The company said that its Flex Wash already received the Energy Star rating from the US Environmental Protection Agency for effective user of electrical power. (Yonhap)
