The following will introduce the six major plates of the washing machine, we can choose according to their own needs, choose the 1 suitable for their own washing machine.

(1)、washing machine type

1. Drum washing machine

Advantages: Low wear washing is realized through "beating-rubbing" compound movement, which is suitable for delicate fabrics such as wool and silk. The heating function activates the active enzyme of laundry detergent to deeply disintegrate oil stains and blood stains. More than 10kg models can cope with bed sheets and quilt covers, and cooperate with exclusive procedures such as "wool washing" and "silk washing" to reduce fabric wear rate by 30%.

Disadvantages: It takes a long time (about 40-60 minutes for normal washing), high power consumption, heavy weight (about 100.00kg) and difficult to move, and the price is 20%-40% higher than that of the pulsator. It is recommended that a family of three give priority to the choice, taking into account the protective and functional.

2. Pulsator washing machine

Advantages: fast washing time (fast washing only takes 20 minutes), light weight (about a few 5.00kg), easy to carry, low power saving, and the price is close to the people.

Disadvantages: large water consumption, easy winding of clothes, not suitable for precious fabrics; single function, lack of extended functions such as heating and drying of the drum. It is recommended that single users or renters choose to meet the daily needs of fast washing.

(2)、 and drainage mode

1. Upper drainage

Advantages: The drain pipe can extend to a height of 1.2 meters, which is suitable for balcony and toilet without floor drain. Waste water can be reused (such as flushing toilet and mopping floor) to save water. It is not limited by the location of floor drain and is free to place.

Disadvantages: relying on water pump to pump water, loud noise and incomplete drainage (residual water needs to be cleaned manually); It should be used with low-foam laundry detergent, otherwise it is easy to leave foam. It is recommended that small apartments or families that need wastewater use should be preferred.

2. Lower drainage

Advantages: the use of gravity natural drainage, low noise, thorough drainage and low power consumption; simple structure, low failure rate, suitable for large space families with fixed floor drains.

Disadvantages: it needs to be installed close to the floor drain, and the location is limited; the waste water is directly discharged into the sewer and cannot be reused. Recommended for families with floor drains and low noise.

(3)、Motor selection

1. Direct drive variable frequency motor

Advantages: noise is as low as 45 decibels and supports 15 precise swing control; Cooperate with AI intelligent weighing system to automatically adjust washing program; The cleaning ratio is 1.12, suitable for families with infants and young children.

Disadvantages: high cost (the price is 30%-50% higher than the belt motor), the installation position is limited, and the volume is large. It is recommended that families with adequate budget, low noise and high precision be preferred.

2. Belt motor

Advantages: the price is close to the people, the maintenance cost is low; the technology is mature, suitable for families with limited budget; the economic model can reduce energy consumption by 20%.

Disadvantages: the noise is large (about 55 decibels), the transmission efficiency is low, and the belt is easy to wear and needs to be replaced regularly. It is recommended to pursue cost-effective, low-noise family options.

(4)、washing technology

1. Cold water washing: biological enzyme

Advantages: Using biological enzyme laundry detergent to activate activity at low temperature, suitable for wool, silk and other fabrics that are afraid of high temperature; A single washing can save 30% of electricity and reduce fading and deformation of clothes.

Disadvantages: the stubborn stains (such as grease) cleaning power is limited, need to cooperate with special laundry detergent use. It is recommended that families who often wash high-grade fabrics choose models with "cold water wash" procedures.

2. Ultra-fine net bubble washing: nano bubbles

Advantages: Through hundreds of millions of micro-nano bubbles to penetrate the fiber gap, physical detergency increased by 30%, reducing detergent residue.

Disadvantages: high cost of technology, need to be used with "blue oxygen special stain net" and other technologies, the price is higher. It is recommended that families with sensitive muscle members be preferred.

(5)、sterilization and mite removal

1. Silver ion sterilization

Advantages: The silver ion module releases antibacterial ions, achieving a bacterial inactivation rate of 99.9, lasting for more than 48 hours; safe and harmless, suitable for infant clothing.

Disadvantages: high cost, high maintenance cost (need to replace the module regularly); there may be a risk of silver ion residue, need to follow the correct use method.

2. Ultraviolet sterilization

Advantages: 275nm wavelength ultraviolet radiation, no chemical residue, suitable for sensitive muscle population; sterilization rate of 99.99, safe and effective.

Disadvantages: limited exposure range, easy to cause uneven sterilization; high price, need to cooperate with other technologies.

3. Ozone sterilization

Advantages: Ozone destroys bacterial cell structure through strong oxidation, with an inactivation rate of 99.99. No chemical residue, suitable for various scenes (such as clothing and footwear); It can decompose peculiar smell molecules and improve washing freshness.

Disadvantages: may accelerate the aging of rubber parts, need to pay attention to ventilation to avoid excessive concentration; metal parts have a slight risk of corrosion, need to check the seal regularly. It is recommended that families with a history of allergies or broad-spectrum sterilization be preferred.

(6)、Capacity adaptation

1. Capacity selection

Advantages: Single users choose 6-8kg to meet their daily needs, and a family of three needs more than 10kg to cope with bed sheets and quilts. Avoid excessive capacity, waste of resources or insufficient impact on experience.

Disadvantages: too large capacity will easily lead to waste of water and electricity, too small will need to be washed in different times, increasing the time cost. It is recommended to choose accurately according to the number of family members and washing habits.

2. Large Wash and Protect

Advantages: models above 12kg can wash the duvet at one time, reducing the trouble of washing in separate times; The "low winding" design reduces the winding rate by 50% and improves the washing and protection experience of large pieces.

Disadvantages: large-capacity models are large in size and need to reserve sufficient space; water consumption and power consumption are high, so attention should be paid to energy-saving use. It is recommended that families with large-size care needs choose the model with "large-size mode.
