Here's what Samsung's AddWash washer does differently

Samsung's AddWash washing machine in black stainless costs $1,499 ($1,399 if you opt for the white finish).

The name AddWash comes from the secret hatch tucked into the washer's main door.

The idea is that you can add small items like socks or a couple of hand towels to the washer after you've started a cycle.

Simply press pause on a cycle and the hatch door will unlock.

It looks larger from the outside but tapers a bit as it moves into the washer bin.

The display panel is simple to use.

This washer features 14 cleaning cycles.

Its LED display shows you how much time is remaining on a cycle.
