One of the reasons why people shy away from buying washing machines is that they are afraid of power consumption. While this is a valid concern, it is something people assume without much of a thought and without considering the extent of consumption. What a lot of people do not consider is that the amount of time that a washing machine saves around the house eventually adds up to significant freed up time that comes in handy for doing other things.
All the same saving a few coins is crucial. Some washing machines like the LG AI DD already come with power saving features. How does it save on energy?
It is a smart appliance
The LG AI DD uses Artificial Intelligence to do the job with less energy consumption by optimizing on features like intelligent detection of type of fabric so that resources deployed are specific for that exact fabric. In that case you do not have the machine washing soft delicates with the same power it would use to wash harder items like denim or duvets.
It is self-reporting
The machine will Self-diagnosis and reporting keeps the machines in top shape and working optimally and this eventually translates to better energy use. This is by use of the LG Proactive Customer Care which is a smart AI backed customer solutions feature. The feature can send alerts to users of possible malfunctions in the machine before they ever come to be and this is priceless when it comes to maintenance. Add to that the fact that it reduces fabric damage and that is more saving for the user.
This AI is channeled through LG’s ThinQ App that not only let’s you start and stop wash cycles remotely, get notifications when laundry is done hence saving energy, and reminds you of scheduled maintenance so that your machine does not get to damage anything without your knowledge.
It is a front loader
A front-loading machine will help save on energy because it uses less water. When less water is involved, then less energy will be required to heat it up. In another way, households that usually pump water will pump less and this also translates to savings on energy.
TurboWash
The LG AI DD has the TurboWash 360 feature – a feature that contributes cycle time without compromising the cleanliness of the clothes. There is also a pre-timed feature that completes a full wash in 39 seconds. Additionally, the 3D Multi Spray shortens the wash cycle by simultaneously shooting water jets in 4 different direction and this helps in stain fighting.
