As living standards continue to rise, users’ expectations for laundry appliances are becoming increasingly diverse and personalized. However, many washing machines currently on the market still suffer from high learning costs, complex operations, unclear information hierarchy, and limited intelligence, resulting in a suboptimal user experience.
SmartWash AI is designed to address these issues through a more intuitive, user-centered interaction system. Core functions—including Standard Wash, Quick Wash, Drying, Baby Care, Bra Care, and AI Wash—are reorganized into a clear and streamlined interface, allowing users to quickly understand available options and the current washing status. Key information during the washing process is visually highlighted, effectively reducing cognitive load and improving overall usability.
On the interaction side, SmartWash AI incorporates simple and intuitive gesture controls, making operations smoother and more efficient. At the same time, the system integrates intelligent laundry capabilities: it automatically detects load weight to determine optimal water and detergent usage, and analyzes fabric types and stain levels to select the most suitable washing mode. This ensures effective cleaning while supporting energy efficiency and sustainability. In addition, SmartWash AI learns from users’ laundry habits over time, gradually creating customized washing programs that match individual preferences.
Furthermore, the built-in AI voice assistant allows hands-free control for a natural and convenient interaction experience. SmartWash AI also supports seamless mobile app integration, enabling remote control, status monitoring, and scheduled washing, meeting users’ needs in various scenarios.
By combining intuitive interaction design, intelligent decision-making, and multi-device connectivity, SmartWash AI delivers a clearer, more efficient, and smarter laundry experience for users.
