The future is here with fantastic eco-friendly washing machines
Fifteen years ago, the concept of eco-friendly washing machines simply didn’t exist. Back then, with technology innovating the way we washed, most of us were far too preoccupied with all the latest programs and features to concern ourselves with saving electricity or water.
Nowadays, manufacturers have a very different take on all this. With the entire world more tuned-in to the notion of working with, rather than against the environment, the less water that can be wasted, the more money that we can save along the way.
That means more reason for people to buy washing machines, and the result is a revolution in an industry which shows no sign of slowing down. While nobody is happy to get rid of a machine which has been faithful for many years, it simply makes no sense to keep using a model that is costing both time and effort, as well as multiple call-out charges.
With such a range of choice available, the better solution is to investigate what’s out there now. Even if you’re on a budget, you should still be able to find a machine that works for you and the environment and doesn’t cost the earth.
If you’re in the market for an eco-friendly machine, then the efficiency rating is what you’ll need to keep a firm eye on. The higher the rating, the better the status, and in the world of washing machines, it’s true that ratings are only handed out to products that really do what they say they can achieve.
As a buyer, this gives you a distinct advantage. Unlike many other products, when you’re looking at washing machines, you can be reasonably sure that the people who make them are speaking the truth.
Competition has also been a healthy thing for the consumer. With manufacturers looking to out-do one another at every turn, new features are constantly being developed and revised, including washing machines with multiple sensors that can tell how much washing powder you are putting in, take this into account with the weight of the items and respond accordingly with a tailor-made program that is unique to each and every single wash.
Beko are one company who are leading the way with their innovative line of washing machines. One model of theirs has the capacity to complete a full cycle in just 14 minutes, and it does this at a high speed but without any of the wasted energy normally associated with such a thing.
As mentioned above, this machine also differs from the norm in regard to its specialist programming technology. When you put washing in, it’ll calculate the precise amount of water needed and use absolutely no more or less than is necessary. With such advanced machines, you no longer have to know the ins and outs of washing to get a solid result that works every time.
Another reason to go with eco-friendly washing machines is their capacity to wash well with much cooler water. Traditionally, it has been thought for many years that the higher the temperature, the better the wash.
Yet modern eco-friendly machines have broken that rule and many more besides. Washing at temperatures as low as 30 degrees Celsius, they not only offer a comparatively good wash but do so using much less energy.
It may only be a small amount at a time, but over the course of several years, this dedication to energy saving makes a tangible difference. With this kind of machine you can forget about mastering many different programs, too, as all the work has been done for you. Chances are, once you get used to the notion of saving energy and money and time, you won’t want to switch to a more difficult to use machine that doesn’t offer the same impressive advantages.
