What is Eco-washing in a washing machine?

Most of the owners of washing machines, probably faced with the mysterious inscription "Eco" on the panel of their device. Some argue that the program labeled "Eco" is related to the environment, while others - that it is, in fact, the economy. So the question arises, after all, Eco-wash - this is what and why is it needed in everyday life?

Economical or environmentally friendly?

The difficulty is that versions of both environmental friendliness and profitability have a right to exist. After all, both problems are relevant for all users of washing machines. From here misunderstandings arise. However, if you analyze just a few instructions for operating the washers (of different brands for the purity of the experiment), then you can easily understand what the ECO mode in the washing machine is. This is a saving program.

It lies in the fact that the IVF mode is designed for minimal water and energy consumption. And this means that you can pay much less on receipts, regularly using this mode.

But you must always remember that killing two birds with one stone at the same time does not work. When saving water and electricity, you have to sacrifice your time, and maybe even the quality of the wash. The thing is that, firstly, washing according to the eco-program lasts a very long time, on average about three hours. Secondly, in order to save energy, the unit practically does not heat the water, so it does not exceed 40 degrees. And finally, the speed of revolutions is very low, so the washing process is more like an ordinary soaking. With such parameters, it is unlikely that serious contaminants can be removed.

Important! In practice, this mode saves mainly electricity, consuming it less than half. As for water, the indicators do not differ much from the indicators of ordinary washing. Unless some highly economical cars, but these are more likely features of the models than the regime.

Eco on typewriters Samsung

According to statistics, in Russia Samsung cars occupy one of the leading positions in use among ordinary users. Therefore, we will analyze what Eco-modes are on one of the models called Samsung WF1602YQR. The savings program for this SM is listed as "Intensive IVF" and has the following features:

1. You can only load the drum in this mode by 2/3. This is not very convenient, because if your machine has a load of 6 kg, then you only have to wash 4.
2. No prewash available.

Attention! Lack of prewash will save a little water. However, during the main wash, your items will spend a sufficient amount of time in a soap solution. And this means that the effect will be similar.

1. On average, it takes 4 hours to wash, of which 3 hours and 40 minutes are the main wash, and another 20 minutes are the activation of additional functions.
2. The washing mode is 40 degrees.
3. Additional options include Eco Bubble, easy ironing and Snooze, which can be activated if desired.

The above means that if you have enough time, you can safely turn on this mode. But if you need to wash things quickly, you have to give up saving. And yes, do not forget that Eco is a saving, the regime has nothing to do with ecology. Basically, with the help of this program it is possible to save electricity, since the problems of high tariffs for electricity are acute not only in Russia but also in the West. That is why Western engineers came up with such a special regime.
