For modern urban life, a washing machine frees us from the complicated laundry and housework. It can be said that it is a household appliance with a higher priority than TV and air conditioners.
Since the birth of the washing machine, the drum type has evolved from the earlier pulsator type. Beginning last year, major manufacturers have begun to introduce multi-barrel designs such as large barrels, small barrels, and so on. Samsung, which focuses on mid-to-high-end in the washing machine industry, has released new products this year that is slightly low-key. And what about the main multi-dimensional dual drive? Let's take a look at today's evaluation.
Exterior
In terms of appearance, the Samsung Quick Drive Zhimu·Duowei dual-drive series washing machine is relatively low-key, but the workmanship maintains the standard of a large manufacturer.
The knobs in the operating area are very user-friendly, with both convenient and worry-free one-key smart washing, as well as common functions such as standard washing, ultra-fast washing, rinsing, and dehydration. At the same time, in order to meet the diverse needs of consumers, washing settings and steam sterilization functions for down jackets, wool, silk and other clothes have also been added to facilitate consumers to choose different materials and different washing and drying methods. The display board on the right supports touch control, which is convenient for customizing the temperature, rinsing times, and spinning time.
The feeding box on the left has a detachable design, which can store laundry detergent and softener in advance. During the washing process, the equipment can perceive multiple data such as clothes weight, water level, and dirtiness through multiple intelligent sensors, and quickly capture changes in the washing state, thereby automatically determining the amount of detergent and softener required for different clothes Provide a suitable complete cleaning solution. In the control panel, you can also choose more, less and ordinary three gears, which is convenient to adjust the softener and laundry detergent according to the actual situation.
The butterfly window on the blue crystal window is a unique design of Samsung. In the past, one of the major pain points of the drum washing machine was that when the equipment started to run, no more clothes could be added. If you insist on adding the leaked laundry, you need to turn off the machine and wait a few minutes for the liquid in the bucket to drain and the safety lock to automatically open. With the addition of this small design, small items such as socks, towels, T-shirts, etc. can be thrown directly in.
In addition, after the laundry is completed, the inner tub can be kept dry by opening the small window to avoid the growth of bacteria. Although the same effect can be achieved by opening the entire door, it is not beautiful at first, and will take up home space for no reason.
The texture of the inner tub of the washing machine has also been redesigned. Samsung said that the depth of the indentation shape of the fingertips has been increased to further strengthen the capillary of the liquid, allowing more water in and out at a time, and the efficiency of washing and dehydrating clothes is higher. At the same time, it can reduce the wear and tear on clothes.
The mouth of the inner barrel is also equipped with LED lights to facilitate taking out clothes in low light conditions.
Technical analysis
Traditional rolling washing machines usually use the friction between clothes and the water surface to remove stains, which is much smaller than the left and right rotating friction of the pulsator washing machine. In order to ensure the cleanliness of washing, it usually needs to be repeated many times, which causes the problem of long washing time of the drum washing machine.
In order to solve this pain point, Samsung adopted a hybrid speed-cleaning technology. In simple terms, it combines the two washing methods of the pulsator and the drum. When washing clothes, it can be beaten up and down and left and right, and it has a tossing back and forth. strength.
Specifically, it is realized by two motors. In addition to the motor that normally drives the inner barrel to rotate, the bottom of the inner barrel can also move in the opposite direction. Under the action of the dual motors, the
way of water movement is increased, and the friction with the clothes is also strengthened. The official said that the washing efficiency of the drum washing machine can be increased by 50%.
For more delicate materials like wool, Samsung washing machines also provide a one-way rotation mode to reduce wear on the clothes.
In addition, Samsung's washing machine is also equipped with exclusive bubble cleaning technology. The principle is that the bubble generator at the bottom of the drum can mix air, water, and detergent in advance to generate abundant bubbles. The advantage of this is that, firstly, the cleaner can penetrate the gaps of the fabric more quickly and improve the washing efficiency. Second, reduce the amount of detergent used to reduce the rinsing time and reduce the problem of detergent residue on the surface of the clothes.
In addition to washing clothes, Samsung Quick Drive Zhimu Duowei dual-drive washing machine also has many new ways to remove bacteria and dust.
For example, this product supports steam sterilization technology, the bottom of the drum can release high-temperature steam, using the principle of pasteurization to remove mold attached to clothes. For clothes that are pressed at the bottom of the box for a long time, the effect of disinfection and deodorization can be achieved at the same time.
The hot air freshening function can solve the odor problem on clothes without washing. For example, the coat you just wore is full of flavor after a hot pot meal. If you don’t wash it, it’s hard to accept the smell, and the washing procedure is very complicated. Now you can just put it in the washing machine and bake it under high temperature and hot air.
The deep dust removal function removes lint, dust and other particles in the depth of the clothes fibers by rotating the drum before washing starts. This mainly solves the problem of secondary pollution caused by the growth of bacteria between the inner and outer barrel walls of the residue.
Effect
After talking about the new technology of the washing machine for a long time, we still tried it with a piece of clothing. We used carbon pen, coffee, chili oil, and ketchup to apply four difficult-to-clean stains to the clothes, and put them in the washing machine after drying. 15 minutes quick wash mode cleaning.
After washing and drying, you can see that except for the very inconspicuous traces of the spicy soy sauce, the other stains have been completely washed.
The noise is also an important indicator for measuring mid-to-high-end washing machines. When the environmental noise is 27.8dB, measured at half a meter, the noise of Samsung washing machine is 56.3dB during washing and 59.1dB during spin-drying. In short, the noise control of this washing machine is excellent, and it doesn't affect us in the laundry while chasing drama.
However, the product we got does not support the drying function. Of course, Samsung also provides a separate dryer and washing and drying products, but the price will be correspondingly higher.
In terms of intelligence, this washing machine can be equipped with Samsung Connect APP through the mobile phone. In addition to remote control, it can also help to arrange the family's daily "washing plan". It can also clean up the content regularly and monitor energy consumption performance according to the weekly washing report. .
Summarize
Although in appearance, this year's new Zhimu Duowei dual-drive washing machine looks a bit low-key, but in fact it has something to do with it. The dual-drive motor can not only ensure that the clothes are clean, but also improve the washing efficiency, and can also reduce the damage to the clothes through different working modes. Steam sterilization technology and bubble cleaning technology, compared with other brands of multi-barrel structure, are not fake requirements. All in all, this is a more practical high-end washing machine.
Under the current trend of quality life, simple laundry methods can no longer meet the increasing demands of consumers. Washing machines should be smarter/convenient/fast, such as adding detergent functions intelligently based on laundry weight, water level, dirt level and other washing data. , And intelligent functions such as laundry butler, can also bring convenience to the laundry process and enhance user experience.
