The Samsung WA8700 is a top-loading sink washing machine that is equipped with an 'active wash' sink that is built right into its lid. The washing machine comes in white and platinum finishes, with prices ranging from $899 to $1,199 depending on the machine's drum capacity.
The machine's built-in sink is perfect for situations where you want to scrub a dirty spot on a piece of clothing before tossing it into the washing machine.
Normally, you'd spot-scrub your clothing in the kitchen or bathroom sink before carrying the dripping item to the washer. Now however, you can drop your clothing in the activewash sink before adding water from the integrated tap and scrubbing on the sink's scrubbing surface. Then you can easily empty the clothing and water in the washing machine proper without worrying about spills.
