Insight to the features Washing Machine
Fully Automatic Machine
This is one of the best fully automatic washing machines in India and there is no need for transferring the clothes to a different drum for drying. There is a single drum and air-dry option is available to dry the clothes.
The Dimension
Length- 21 inches
Width- 22 inches
Height- 33 inches
Much Needed Programs
The washing machine comes with impressive features such as Quick for a quick wash; switch on a machine and get the clothes washed in twenty minutes
The machine also spins and washes the clothes depending on the fabric of the material that is loaded.
Depending on it, the machine decides whether the clothes needs a vigorous wash or gentle swirl. This makes the usual task of cleaning your washing machine much easier.
Cotton, synthetic and wool are some of the options
Rinse and Spin
This option is used after the wash, where the clothes are thoroughly rinsed and spinned at a speed of 1000 rpm.
Rpm refers to rotations per minute; the greater the rpm, the greater the drying capacity as well as less time for the drying process.
A 1000 rpm machine is bound to have some noise; the noise while spinning is measured to be 70 dB but the drying is done completely.
Motor Overheating Protection
As the spinning rpm is quite high, there might be chances of the motor getting overheated. But the machine provides a motor overheating protection as well for longer durability and to ensure perfectly efficient cleaning.
Fuzzy Logic Control
This is one of the extra features found in this model that is lacking in other machines in the budget price range.
Fuzzy logic is where the machine controls the water level according to the clothes load.
Drum
The drum is completely plastic yet robust. It provides corrosion free drum, while making the machine compact and portable.
There is no worry of the clothes being entangled after the wash as the machine provides quadra flow of water.
Cons
There is no separate inlet for the provision of the detergent or fabric conditioner into the machine. Hence the powder sprinkles unevenly on the clothes.
The capacity is less but the features are quite good.
The drum body is made of plastic and hence no hot water wash is available.
There is one other glitch that can be a little disappointing. The water level once set and started cannot be changed to add in more clothes and water. You need to the restart the machine again to change the settings and water level.
The noise level while spinning is one disturbing thing, 70 dB is quite a concern.
Warranty
The warranty given by the company is two years on the product and five years if there is any issue with the motor.
Conclusion
This is a compact, fully automatic washing machine best suited for couples and bachelors. It comes with a budget price tag but is just as functional as some of the other much pricier washing machines on the market with some limitations.
