Product overview
Front load machines use markedly less water than top loaders — typically around 50 litres a cycle against 100 or more — and clean better at the same detergent dose, because the drum tumbles clothes through the water rather than agitating them in it. The cost is cycle time: a standard cotton programme runs well over two hours against roughly 45 minutes on a top loader. The 1200 rpm spin extracts enough water that line drying is realistic even in humid weather.
Key capabilities
- 7 kg capacity, front loading drum
- 1200 rpm maximum spin speed
- Anti-vibration side panels
- 15 wash programmes including quick wash
