In 2015, the world saw for the first time in Berlin the Haier Duo miracle machine with two drums.
In 2016, the washing machine market grew and surprised with creativity and innovation.
The amazing Korean LG TWIN Wash has arrived. This washing machine, also designed with two drums, has amazed everyone with its originality.
In this article, we will take a closer look at washing machines with two drums.
Two-tank firstborns
Haier Duo
As mentioned above, a couple of years ago the Chinese company Haier introduced an unusual washing machine – Haier Duo.
This model had two floors and was equipped with two drums.
Its unusualness can be described by the presence of:
- 2 drums (8 and 4 kg);
- touch screen;
- work counters;
- remote control;
- energy saving function;
- large capacity;
- compactness.
Haier Duo model has received an award for technical innovation.
The essence of using this technology is the ability of the owner to select the desired program, while using two loading tanks:
- The small drum is designed primarily for washing delicate items and gentle care,
- large - for blankets, pillows, and anything large and bulky, but it is also possible to wash regular items.
LG
TWIN Wash
A year later, the LG TWINWash also climbed to the top of the dual-drum washing machines. This dual-drum washing machine impressed with its stated load capacity.
It can hold 17 kg of laundry in a large drum and 3.5 kg in a small one.
The drum, which is smaller, is hidden at the very bottom, in a pull-out drawer.
This model has built-in remote control from a smartphone.
Now you can monitor your energy consumption and laundry progress while away from home.
SIGNATURE
This car is similar to the previous model, but has an innovative suspension system.
The LG SIGNATURE washing machine has a self-cleaning function for both drums and steam washing.
Steam washing is necessary for removing odors and smoothing out wrinkles. Both machines are large, which is surprising.
Other interesting models
Samsung AddWash
If we consider the Samsung AddWash model, it boasts the AddWash function (hatch in the hatch) - a godsend for forgotten things.
In a regular washing machine, to add a forgotten sock or something else during the wash cycle, you need to turn off the program, wait for the lock to unlock, etc.
This model is simple. Simply open the additional door into the wash tank and load your laundry without interrupting the program.
The machine also features a bubble wash. The manufacturers are confident in its effectiveness. Remote access via smartphone is also available.
AEG SoftWater
Did you know that the softer the water, the better the wash?
AEG SoftWater manufacturers installed an ion-exchange filter in their 9000 series machines, which softens the water. This means that a wash at 30 degrees will be equivalent to a wash at 60 degrees.
However, when using a detergent with enzymes, high temperatures are not necessary, as the powder is already effective at 40 degrees.
But in any case, the benefit for the machine is obvious, since with soft water the presence of scale on the heating element will be significantly less.
Siemens IQ 700
IQ 700 or dry cleaning at home. For items requiring dry cleaning, Siemens has developed a machine with senoFresh technology – the Siemens IQ 700.
Ozone breaks down dirt molecules, allowing you to smooth out suits, wool, silk, and clothing embellished with rhinestones, embroidery, etc. without water, and also eliminate odors.
This 2-drum tumble dryer boasts an inverter motor, making it virtually silent.
Analysis of a twin-drum washing machine
Advantages
There are many advantages to purchasing such a gadget: it allows you to load different items (whites, colors, children's, sportswear), and wash in two drums at the same time.
This unique device allows housewives to cut their washing time in half, as well as save energy and water.
The garment care performance is exceptionally high. The machine can handle even the most stubborn stains and work clothes, while simultaneously eliminating unpleasant odors.
The use of such equipment is advisable in a house with a large number of people and children.
The benefits are obvious when used in laundries and businesses.
Flaws
- Size.
Despite its minimalist design, a two-drum machine is still quite large and is unlikely to fit in a small space. - Lack of separate touch screens for the reels.
- A single control unit, meaning that if a malfunction occurs, both drums will be damaged.
- Drying. This function is only available in one of the drums.
- High cost.
A twin-drum washing machine is undoubtedly a remarkable innovation, but can it replace a conventional washing machine, which also has a huge number of functions and programs?
