Hisense takes on Samsung with new AI-powered laundry collection – I never thought a washing machine could look so good

Hisense 7i Series.

QUICK SUMMARY

Hisense has launched its new 7i Series laundry collection, featuring matching a KitchenFit washing machine and tumble dryer.

Powered by AI, the Hisense 7i Series washing machine and dryer comes with an AI Laundry Companion that learns your habits and responds to voice controls.

Ever wanted to talk to your washing machine? Well, with the new 7i Series Laundry Collection from Hisense, you can – and for an actually helpful reason. Within the 7i Series Laundry collection is a KitchenFit washing machine and matching tumble dryer, both of which have handy AI features, and have surprisingly good looks.

Designed to save space in your home, Hisense 7i Series washing machine and tumble dryer seamlessly fit into your kitchen or utility room. I never thought laundry appliances could look good, but these gadgets have sleek lines, easy controls and a touchscreen display which makes doing your laundry much simpler.

The KitchenFit washing machine is the main standout from the Hisense 7i Series Laundry Collection and is packed with plenty of handy features. It has a reduced depth so it’s more compact to fit under countertops, yet it still has a Max Drum with a full height and width. So, while it’s smaller in size, it can still fit up to 12kg loads as it hasn’t decreased in capacity.

In terms of AI, the KitchenFit washing machine uses AI Super Wash that analyses each load and automatically selects the right cycle. Not only does this ensure your clothes are getting the appropriate treatment, but this can also reduce your overall water usage and energy consumption.

For the KitchenFit tumble dryer, users can select AI Super Dry which does a similar thing to AI Super Wash but for drying up to 10kg of laundry. It’ll select the right drying cycle according to your clothes and fabrics which it assesses using AI.

Both the washing machine and tumble dryer can be used together with Cross Screen Control. This allows you to control both appliances via one interface. They also come with a FlashCare 89’ feature which combines a quick wash and quick dry so you can get up to 4kg of clean and dry clothes in as little as 89 minutes.

Where the Hisense 7i Series is most impressive is its AI Laundry Companion. Both machines work to learn your habits so they can anticipate your next wash and dry cycles. Users can also select programmes and schedules using voice controls so you can do your laundry almost completely hands-free.

The Hisense 7i Series is available to buy at select retailers like Currys and AO.com. The washing machine is priced at £999 while the tumble dryer costs £1,099.
