The technology can also improve our lives when washing clothes . At least this is what the engineers of the Korean firm Samsung have thought when researching and improving the circuits of their best washing machines with the recent EcoBubble system . It is true that it is not the most appreciated appliance in the house. The washing machine is one of the most practical and at the same time most forgotten inventions of the house. It is boring and tiring, and especially frustrating when we find that our clothes are dirty or damaged. But what do we look for in a washing machine? Make it comfortable, clean well and consume the least amount. Researchers have focused on all these points when it comes to improving washing machines with this new washing system.

Samsung's EcoBubble series washers are a good example of how technology also advances in this field. The key to this technology is that the washing machine generates tiny air bubbles to remove dirt from clothes and save energy. A whole series of washing machines incorporates this technology, but it is not the only thing they do to make our lives easier.

But let's see what it is and why the technology of Samsung's EcoBubble washing machines improves our daily washing.

EcoBubble

Let's go first with the most important. EcoBubble technology aims to save energy, ensuring that the cleaning of the garments is the same or better than with a conventional washing machine. For this, the washing machines of this series have an injection of air that is carried out before washing, into the mixture of water and detergent. The result is millions of bubbles of soapy water that penetrate fabrics more easily.

Soapy air bubbles penetrate garments regardless of water temperature. Thus, it can be washed at very low temperatures to be sure not to spoil the garments. This can be especially useful in cases where we find ourselves with very delicate garments with large traces of dirt. The bubbles penetrate the fabric and clean it, but the water temperature is very low, so there is no risk that the fabric will be damaged. Plus, more foam is generated faster than just spinning the drum.

This has two advantages, it shortens the wash cycle by about 10 minutes, and above all, it saves energy. The great point in favor of these appliances is their energy efficiency. The creation of the bubbles allows the washing cycle to be shortened, which of course consumes less electricity. In addition, since there is no need to use such hot water, we also reduce electricity consumption. Not only can they wash clothes better, but the environment and our pockets will thank us for it.

Below we review the models in the series one by one.

WF 0702 W7W1

This model has 7 kg of washing capacity. In addition, it has a fairly fast spin, up to 1,200 revolutions per minute , to ensure that the clothes reach the clothesline almost dry. The best thing is its energy efficiency.

It has a rating of A +++, being up to 30% more efficient than washing enjoying the prestigious A . It comes in white and has dimensions of  598 x 844 x 530 mm , so we are facing a medium model. We can find it in the market for about 280 euros.

WF 1124 XAC

This washing machine is quite a bit bigger than the previous one. Holds up to 12 kg. of clothes . In addition, it has the fastest spin speed in the series : 1,400 revolutions per minute. It also has the energy category A +++, with the savings that this implies. The Digital Inverter class motor is guaranteed for 10 years, thus ensuring a long life for this product.

All functions are programmed through a 3.5 inch LCD screen. It is larger than the previous one, with dimensions of 600 x 850 x 600 mm, and can be purchased for about 700 euros. It is the star of the range , and it shows it both in its characteristics and in its price.

The design is one of the factors that attract the attention of this appliance. The aluminum finishes and the blue LED screen add a distinguished touch to the room in which we place it, something truly rare in a washing machine.

WF 1702 WPW2
