Hisense's Series 8i washer and dryer range

Hisense has introduced its Series 8i washer and dryer range, designed to seamlessly integrate into smart home ecosystem, in Australia.

The Series 8i boasts its iJet technology, which boosts the efficiency of every wash cycle by up to 38 per cent, resulting in spotless clothes.

Its Autodosing feature precisely measures the detergent for every wash and allows users to store enough supply for up to 27 washes.

With its functional dispensers, users have the option to separate the detergent and softener or to combine them.

Hisense’s iFit slim-depth design innovation allows the washer to fit in tight spaces while having a capacity of up to 10kg, with its depth of 550mm.

Meanwhile, the Series 8i Dryer features iCare steam technology that claims to effectively reduce wrinkles and refresh clothes, therefore eliminating the need for thorough ironing.

The dryer possesses iDry technology for fast and efficient drying and can handle 1 kg of laundry in 29 minutes, taking less than an hour to complete larger loads of up to 4kg.

“At Hisense, we’re committed to pushing the boundaries of home appliance innovation. We’re excited to introduce the Series 8i washer and dryer to the Australian market – the range is yet another addition to our premium offering that reflect our focus on sustainability and efficiency,” said Chris Kotis, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Hisense Australia.

“The Series 8i Dryer features an industry-first 10-star energy rating, while the Series 8i Washer holds a 5-star rating, helping Australians reduce their environmental impact without compromising on performance.”

Along with a sleek, durable glass door, the Series 8i washer and dryer also feature Hisense’s iPlay 3.55-inch colour screen, providing more information on cycles, making selection-setting effortless.

With Hisense’s SmartLink feature, customers can pair the Series 8i Washer and Dryer.
