Ironing machine

ironing machineMany housewives dream that automatic washing machines carry out a full cycle of laundry care. That is, they washed, rinsed, squeezed, dried and ironed. However, so far this remains only a figment of the imagination. Automatic washing machines wash, rinse, spin and even dry clothes, but they have not yet learned how to iron them. The modern “easy ironing” function does not iron things like an iron, it only helps to facilitate this process. We’ll talk about this function in more detail.

Cars with "easy ironing" advantages and disadvantages

Washing machines with the “easy ironing” function do not subject the laundry to strong creasing during the spin cycle, making it easier to iron afterwards. Things washed using this function do not have strong wrinkles or wrinkles and can be ironed without steaming. At first glance it seems - a very good function, not an iron, of course, but it makes life easier for housewives! Nevertheless, it is better not to rely on superficial judgments, but to consider the main pros and cons of “easy ironing”. So, the pros of this feature.

  • Things washed with the use of this function really iron easier, especially denim.
  • Linen, which is constantly washed using this function, lasts longer, since the machine wrinkles it less and twists it less.
  • This function allows you to save energy by reducing the time of use of the iron and the steamer.

Note! On different models of washing machines, the “easy ironing” function manifests itself in different ways, but in general, the essence is the same.

On this, the advantages of the “easy ironing” functions that the manufacturers of such washing machines offer us end there. Let some of these advantages be frankly contrived, but oh well, let’s take it “at face value”. Now let's talk about the minuses of this function.ironing machine

  1. The first thing that catches your eye when activating this function and completing the washing cycle is that the laundry at the outlet is very wet, to say the least - wet. Apparently, gentle spinning is less effective, therefore, the laundry will dry several times longer.
  2. When activating the “easy ironing” function, the washing machine increases the duration of washing clothes even in the superfast wash mode. Under normal conditions, the wash ends after 30 minutes, with "easy ironing" after 45 minutes.
  3. In the “easy ironing” mode, the washing machine consumes more water for one wash cycle. For example, in several models of Electrolux washing machines, consumption increases by almost 25%.
  4. In the “easy ironing” mode, rinsing of the laundry is carried out at low speeds in a large amount of water. How effectively such a rinse can be judged by the things removed after washing from the drum of the machine. In most cases, traces of detergents are visible on them.
  5. To implement the "easy ironing" function, the user needs to load the drum of the washing machine only 2/3. Otherwise, the laundry will not only be wet at the exit, but also wrinkled, as with normal automatic washing and spinning at high speeds.

These shortcomings of the “easy ironing” function were identified as a result of laboratory tests and confirmed by numerous reviews of people who use this function. As they say - draw conclusions!

Overview of models of cars with this function

Now we will consider specific models of washing machines having the “easy ironing” function. We intentionally chose two models as an example, since it was to these models that the experts gave the highest ratings. In our opinion, if we pay attention to automatic machines with this function, then it is on these two, although, of course, there may be other opinions.

The best in the sense of the “easy ironing” function, the automatic washing machine was recognized by specialists Samsung WW12H8400EX /LP As a result of laboratory tests, she showed the best values ​​in time and spin quality with the activated “easy ironing” function. In addition to “easy ironing”, this washing machine has an impressive package of other additional functions:

  • Fuzzy logic;Samsung washing machine with ironing function
  • Eco Bubble
  • delayed launch;
  • half load;
  • accelerated washing;
  • washing without spin;
  • soak.

It cannot be said that all these functions work flawlessly, and frankly, not all of them are in demand. Nevertheless, at least once you can use each of these functions, because the situations are different.

The Samsung WW12H8400EX / LP washing machine is recognized by experts as one of the most economical, because its energy consumption class is A +++, which is considered the best achievement to date.

Among the general technical characteristics, I would like to note a convenient wide hatch (46 cm), a honeycomb drum that can rotate at a speed of up to 1400 rpm. The maximum load is also impressive - 12 kg. In this case, the manufacturer did not sin at all against the truth, since the machine actually erases 12 kg of laundry. In addition, the machine is programmed for 15 washing modes, has an ergonomic display and child protection. The average price of such equipment is 1000 cu

Slightly worse “easy ironing” function is implemented in the washing machine LG F1495BDS Nevertheless, in comparison with the models of other companies, the performance of this model is very decent, the output is a bit damp. "Easy ironing" is not the only additional function that is "in service" of this washing machine. In addition to it, there are functions:

  1. automatic weighing of linen;LG washing machine with ironing function
  2. delayed launch;
  3. half load;
  4. accelerated washing;
  5. washing without spin;
  6. automatic water level adjustment.

For safety, this machine takes one of the leading places. It implements control of imbalance, foaming, protection against leaks, a nap filter and protection against children. In addition, a high-quality ergonomic display and a nice design are striking. Of the basic technical characteristics, a capacious drum with a load of up to 12 kg and a low noise level during operation - 54 dB, are noteworthy. Such a “miracle of technology” costs about 750 cu

Should I buy a car with a similar function?

Carrying out an analysis aimed at studying washing machines with the “easy ironing” function, we checked the effectiveness of washing, spinning, the speed of production of such operations, as well as the state of the laundry at the exit. As a result, we came to the conclusion that it is not worth buying a washing machine just because of this function. In fact, you do not gain anything, the consumption of water and electricity, as well as the washing time, increases, the output is almost wet, which must then be dried for a long time. And all this for the sake of easier ironing?

It turns out more technical flaws than advantages. Add here the high cost of washing machine models with the well-implemented “easy ironing” function, and you will get a net loss on all counts without really achieving anything useful.Solo washing machine with ironing function

To summarize, we note that the publicized function of automatic washing machines “easy ironing” is nothing but another clever trick of advertisers that makes people pay money for mythical benefits. Whereas in reality this function does not bring any benefit to the owner of the machine!
