Samsung’s Laser Printer Workhorse

Samsung

For businesses and consumers who that need a printer to pump out page after page reliably, instead of a raft of extraneous features, Samsung has a new printer that may fit the bill. The company announced its ML-3471ND on Wednesday, a monochrome laser printer designed to be a high-speed low-maintenance workhorse.

Equipped with a 400 Mhz processor and 64MB memory, the printer can push out 35 pages per minute, and delivers the first page in any job in under nine seconds. If saving paper is an issue, it can be set to full duplex mode – printing on two sides of a sheet – with the touch of one button. Toner can also be saved with the press of a button, with an economy mode that should cut back toner use by 40 percent.

Maintenance should be a non-issue: the ML-3471ND can print up to 10,000 pages on one cartridge, and its maximum monthly duty cycle is 50,000 pages. Paper capacity can also be upgraded with a second cassette that holds another 250 pages.

The ML-3471ND is available now through Samsung retailers for $549.99.

Samsung’s “Spring Sale” has washers and dryers from just $499

Samsung Washer and Dryer in a house.

No matter how lazy or unkempt you're willing to be, there's something about the coming of spring that screams it is time to start cleaning. While covering Samsung Spring Sale deals, active now through March 10th, we've found incredible deals on washers and dryers. It's a big boon in an otherwise terrible month to buy appliances, as we usually don't expect good spring sales until... well, spring, which starts much later in the month. So, if you're in need of a washer and dryer and want a discount, Samsung is the place to shop this early March.
The best Samsung Spring Sale washer deals

Samsung washers tend to have an emphasis on quality and longevity over getting you the cheapest price possible. You're also likely to find some technological advances that you weren't necessarily expecting. For example, one feature you'll see is "AI Optiwash." This uses an AI system to detect the type of clothing you're putting in and automatically set your washer's settings to compliment it. Dense and soaked towels need a different style of wash than your tighty-whities, after all. Interestingly, Samsung offers both front-load and top-load washers, so you can pick your preference.

Samsung Jet Bot Robot Vacuum with Intelligent Power Control mapping a room.

The Samsung Spring Sale is in full swing from now to March 10th, giving you the opportunity to buy all kinds of exciting high-tech gadgetry at a fraction of the normal price. As part of it, we're finding some great robot vacuum deals, including this one on Samsung's Jet Bot+. As with all of the best robot vacuums, this cleaner comes with a dumping and charging station, an advanced cleaning algorithm, and some other cool features that make it stand out. Right now, it can be yours for just $600, which is $200 down from its usual $800 price. Tap the button below to see it for yourself or keep reading to get all of the details about the this incredibly easy way to keep your floor dust and debris free.

Why you should buy the Samsung Jet Bot+
How should you evaluate if a robot vacuum is right for you? In our guide to choosing a robot vacuum, we lay out a number of features commonly seen on robot vacuums. Two key ones that we see on the Samsung Jet Bot+ are "sensory sophistication and virtual mapping" and "automatic dirt disposal." The former is powered by a FiDAR Sensor that precisely maps your floor plan, and can be boosted by using no-go zones, keeping your robot vacuum in the key areas of the home you actually want it in. The latter, automatic dirt disposal, is considered essentially mandatory and is achieved via the bot's clean station. This station uses pulses to air to suck the dust from your vacuum into its holding chamber. A sort of vacuum for your vacuum, if you will.

Get a cordless vacuum for $280 in Samsung’s “Spring Sale” event

Samsung Jet 60 cordless vacuum cleaner.

The Samsung Spring Sale is here, and if you need some help with your spring cleaning, then you're going to want to take advantage of this $50 discount for the Samsung Jet 60 Pet cordless stick vacuum. From its original price of $330, it's down to a more affordable $280. However, we don't think this offer will last very long, because cordless vacuum deals like this almost always get sold out quickly. There are still a few days left on the sale, but it's highly recommended that you proceed with your purchase of the cordless vacuum as soon as possible.

Why you should buy the Samsung Jet 60 Pet cordless stick vacuum
The Samsung Jet 60 Pet cordless stick vacuum makes cleaning easy because it only weighs 6 pounds, so it won't be hard to carry it as you move around the house. It doesn't sacrifice power to stay lightweight though, as it features an energy-efficient digital inverter motor that enables a battery life of up to 40 minutes on a single charge, and the Jet Cyclone technology that provides consistent suction while also reducing potential clogs. The cordless vacuum also features a five-layer filtration system that keeps the air inside your home safe to breathe.
