Smart technologies in action: TOP-5 "smart" washing machines

The first products of the Italian brand Candy were washing machines. Nearly 75 years after the birth of the brand, washing machines occupy key positions in the company's income items.

The model from the Smart Pro series with the name CSO 14105 TB3 / 1-S belongs to the category of “smart” washing machines with a full-size layout (with a case depth of 60 cm). In one sitting, the drum of the device holds 10 kg of laundry. Despite the use of a traditional non-inverter drive in the design, the washing machine boasts energy consumption of the highest class A +++ (239 kWh / year).

The machine has 15 washing programs to remove dirt. For a standard cycle of operation, the model consumes 59 liters of water. The required washing mode is selected by turning the rotary knob with fine adjustment of the parameters by tapping on the touch panel. Also , the washing machine commands are given remotely from a smartphone with a pre-installed simply-Fi application.

At the end of the washing procedure, the machine spins at the maximum speed of rotation of the drum up to 1400 rpm. The spin quality corresponds to a high class A. The noise level at the same time rests on the "ceiling" of 81 dB, which is somewhat louder than that of the "classmates". And the washing machine captivates with a tasty price - there are simply no analogues of the model in terms of functional charge in this price category.

Electrolux washing machines are all about high-end products, whether they're budget league, solid mid-range, or premium. The full-size model PerfectCare 600 EW6F3R48SA is ranked among the layers of society of medium cars.

A remarkable feature of the washing machine is the SensiCare system, which automatically adjusts the cycle depending on the loading of the drum. As a result, time, energy and water savings are achieved, and things are not overwashed, keeping their marketable appearance longer. At the maximum, the drum of the machine can hold 8 kg of laundry.

The Electrolux PerfectCare 600 EW6F3R48SA software assets include 14 automatic programs, incl. special steam wash. Also, the user is free to run his programme, and without getting up from the couch - support for remote control of the machine via Wi-Fi is implemented through the application for MyElectrolux mobile devices.

In order to prolong the “survivability” of your favorite little things, the models “brought up” the AutoDose automatic dosing of detergents - an overdose of chemicals usually accelerates the aging process of fabrics. Here, this problem is almost eliminated. Well, the decisive argument “for” in favor of the washing machine is the energy consumption of the highest class A +++. With her in the house, washing things will turn from a routine procedure into a rather pleasant process.

The Samsung smart home ecosystem is growing by leaps and bounds. So, at the height of the summer of 2019, the South Korean brand’s smart device park was replenished with an advanced narrow washing machine WW70R62LATW.

Behind the bright outer "wrapper" of the model lie remarkable opportunities. The first plus comes to the karma of the machine for the use of a low-noise and economical inverter motor, the energy consumption class of which is marked with the brand A +++. It is covered by a 10-year warranty, in general, the engine is certified for a 23-year service life. The motor sets the pace for the signature Swirl+ drum with embossed wall structure.

The control center of the washer stretched across the entire width of the upper hull. Among the many washing programs , the Eco Bubble air bubble mode for caring for delicate fabrics and the steam wash option are knocked out in a separate line, during which the smallest particles of dirt are removed, and clothes are deactivated from bacteria and allergens. Through the SmartThings smartphone application, so-called washing recipes can be recommended, and remote control of the machine and self-diagnosis mode are also available from mobile gadgets.

The maximum capacity of the drum of the device is 7 kg of laundry. Special for reloading the washing machine, for example, with forgotten socks right during the washing process, there is an AddWash hatch in the main door. An equally important parameter is the wastefulness of the machine in terms of water consumption. On average, the model consumes 42 liters of water per cycle. Finally, the sensor of the AquaProtect system is put on guard to protect the washing machine from leaks - if even a drop of it gets on it, the washing machine interrupts work, drains the water and displays a notification about the problem.

LG F2J7HG2W belongs to the group of 2-in-1 devices that combine the functions of a washer and dryer in one bottle. The device is able to take in the “inside” up to 7 kg of laundry for the washing procedure and up to 4 kg for drying.

The main protagonist of the model is a quiet and durable Inverter Direct Drive engine. The motor provides for direct transmission of the rotary element to the drum without any extra chain links in the manner of a belt drive. The combination of washing and drying options was not the most economical energy class B.

The device implements the proprietary technology of rotation of the drum "6 movements of care" to ensure gentle washing of various types of fabrics, even the thinnest and most delicate. Also, the user is provided with 14 programs, one of which is the Spa Steam steam washing mode. Instead of water, hot steam is supplied to the drum, which penetrates into all fibers of fabrics, thereby removing the most stubborn dirt.

The built-in Wi-Fi module allows you to control the washing process remotely from your smartphone and diagnose the machine for troubleshooting(SmartDiagnosis function). The control panel on board the washing machine combines a rotary knob, touch buttons and an LED display. In the bottom line, we see an optimally balanced washer-dryer with the “smart” prefix for a reasonable price.

The AEG L 9FEA69S full-size washing machine is by no means a cheap pleasure. But believe me, the machine works out the money paid in full, delighting with its developed functionality, washing quality and impressive appearance.

Up to 9 kg of laundry can “lift” on board the model in one go. Clothes are washed in one of two dozen preset programs. For example, the machine can wash 3 kg of laundry in just 20 minutes, and it also has separate programs for washing dirty work clothes, duvets, curtains, etc. In order to achieve the best result in anticipation of the washing procedure, the machine cleans and softens the incoming water using SoftWater technology.

During the working cycle AEG L 9FEA69S consumes only about 47 liters of water (on average "in the ward"). The annual level of electricity consumed by it is 76 kWh / year, which makes it possible to rank the model among the most economical washing machines. The operating parameters of the device are displayed on a large informative display with touch control support. Well, if you are too lazy to get out of bed, you can turn on the machine and set the washing mode in the mobile application for your smartphone.

The list of proprietary technologies on board the washing machine is supplemented by the ÖKOMix option, the meaning of which is to dissolve the detergent and conditioner in water before entering the drum. In practice, this feature allows you to fully activate the detergent chemistry and evenly dissolve it in water. AEG L 9FEA69S is rightfully considered a washing machine with improved “charge” and equal machines will have to be searched very well.
