Simply put, I’m a technology junkie. Anything latest and greatest, I wanna know about it and I’ll be the first one in line to buy it. It’s just the way I’m hard-wired.
I’ve been in the market for a new, high tech washer and dryer for a few months now. I mentioned it to a friend and she suggested I check out Abt Electronics. She told me it was her favorite store to buy EVERYTHING from (which would soon make sense to me) and the perfect place to just go and hang out.
Hang out at an electronics store?
Yes. She said, I’d understand when I went.
Since it’s only about a 30 minute ride from downtown Chicago, I figured why not check it out. Well, apparently it was more than just my friend who was obsessed with Abt, because when I told my Instagram followers I was headed there, I was FLOODED with messages about what to do, who to ask for and how to shop there. Clearly, they have a pretty good reputation.
The minute I walked into the store, I felt like it was a personalized shopping experience and I was their only customer. Steve, an awesome member of their sales team, greeted me. Once I told him what I was looking for, he knew exactly where to go from there.
He brought me right to the Samsung FlexWash™ and FlexDry™ and told me that I could wash/dry two loads at one time. For me, this is a total game changer because I can do Elia’s laundry (which uses a different, gentle detergent) at the same time as mine. Steam washing technology makes for an even deeper clean so, I can get my laundry done 45% faster without sacrificing cleaning performance! HUGE time saver. It also let’s me dry my delicates and my regular clothes separately, AND the FlexDry™ connects to WiFi. Meaning, I can get alerts when it’s finished, plus schedule cycles all from my phone! Insane, right?
Now that I found the washer and dryer I wanted, I had to worry about price. I quickly googled the washer and dryer to find out what the going rate was online. When I asked Steve how much they were, the price he quoted me was less than I could find myself! Abt made the whole process SO quick that the only decision I had to answer myself was do I want black or white! Spoiler alert, I chose black.
After I picked out my washer and dryer, I wanted to know more about this place! I had driven out there, and everyone told me I could spend all day there. I wanted the Abt experience. Steve was happy to walk me around the store and explain to me all the ins and outs of the place. He mentioned he’d been with Abt for 20 years and the amount of passion he had for the company was clear as he spoke about their quality and the heart of the business.
This store was unlike anything I had ever seen. They had a Dylan’s candy bar, an Apple Store, a jewelry store, furniture, lighting, showrooms for every room in your house, fresh cookies that are made every Saturday, a huge aquarium and even a machine where you could put yourself in a bubble, lol!
The founder of Abt, who Steve kindly called Mr. Abt, was a dreamer. From what I could tell, he was a total kid at heart himself and he wanted to make sure people got the best quality at the best price. Mr. Abt wanted it to be an exciting experience, not a chore, when you go shopping for your electronics. Clearly, whatever he’s created is working because Abt has been in Chicago since 1936. How cool is that?! I easily could’ve spent hours there, but mom duty called so back home I went.
I was counting down the seconds until my new washer and dryer were going to be delivered. When the day finally came, it was probably the easiest delivery I’ve received, ever. They came up and took my old washer/dryer away (such a convenience) and made space for my new ones.
They were so quick to put them in place and they were sure to talk me through every step and answer every silly question I had. Who knew electronic delivery could be easier than getting Elia to nap on a plane?!
I am SO happy with these beauties and I know they’ll make my life more efficient, and every mom needs that.
Now for some exciting news!
I am SO excited to share that this holiday season, Abt and Samsung have teamed up to give the ultimate gift by giving away the Samsung FlexWash™ and FlexDry™!!! Entering this sweepstakes is SO simple, you literally just fill out this form by December 31st for a chance revamp your laundry space with your own Samsung FlexWash™ and FlexDry™

Erica

We truly need the new Samsung FlexWasher & FlexDryer.. We doesn’t have any money to get them repaired. I’m disable & on Social Security Disability of $800.00 a month. My husband is a diabetic suffering with Macular Degeneration, he has Stage 3 Kidney Disease, he suffers with Severe Depress along with having Severe Mood Swings. My husband eye specialist has told him “No Night Driving”. He also has to go have monthly injection directly into his eyes because of the Macular Degeneration. We are at time working on trying to get his Social Security Disability for him. We need a new car so that we can make it to our multiple Doctor appointment each month. Please help us I pray.

With small kiddos these trips to the laundrymat are too frequent–these machines would be such a blessing as mama could spend more time at home! The winter trips out here in the Northeast are not fun when the temperatures are low and the snow is deep! Got just the spot for these in my home!
