Any company involved in the production of washing machines wants to overtake its competitors. To do this, they introduce new technologies into their equipment. It is for this reason that Samsung, LG and Haier released washing machines with two drums in 2015. This article will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of such a machine.
Washing machine Haier Duo
In the fall of 2015, the Chinese Haier company presented a two-story automatic machine at the Berlin exhibition. Its main feature is that it contains two reels. In this case, one is located above the other in one housing.
Moreover, both tanks of such a machine can function simultaneously.
This provides a number of advantages:
- Significantly saves time on washing clothes;
- You can sort the laundry that needs to be washed into several piles (cotton and wool, colored and white, children's and adults), and then wash them simultaneously in different drums using different washing programs.
- If you have a large amount of laundry, you can use a large tank. If there is not much laundry, you can wash it in a small tank. Due to this, you can save water.
Such a machine has exactly the same communications as a machine containing one drum. The hatch doors contain indicators that indicate the washing stage.The dimensions of this washing machine are 128x60x60 cm. The tank is located at the bottom has a drying function.
The main drawback is its size. This technique is unlikely to suit the owner of a small apartment. It should also be noted that the Haier Duo machine contains one common control module. Therefore, if it breaks down, not a single tank will function. This technique has a fairly high cost.
Features of LG Twin Wash
In 2015, LG introduced a machine with two tanks. This model is very different from the one described above. This is a regular automatic machine with front loading of laundry. But a special block with a drum is connected to it from below. This block looks like a platform or podium.
This additional unit is also connected to other models of LG washing equipment. You can wash clothes not only in one drum, but also in both at once. The machine contains inverter motor with a ten year guarantee. There are 3 types of this machine. All of them differ in the loading of the main drum: 17.19 and 21 kilograms.
The main tank of this machine is located at a slight inclination. It should be noted that the tank is at a convenient height, so there is no need to bend over when putting things in and taking things out of the drum. The wash can be started using a smartphone (wi-fi required) or from the control panel.
If there is only a small amount of dirty laundry, you can wash it in a small drum without waiting for a large pile of dirty clothes to accumulate. It is very convenient to wash delicate items and sportswear. This machine incorporates all the technologies used in conventional models of LG washing equipment.
Dual Washer gadget
Dual Washer washing equipment was developed by a designer from China. It contains two reels (one is located inside the other). In such a machine you can safely wash colored and white items. The Dual Washer has a small volume. It saves energy, water and time.
