Thomson’s New 5-Star Washing Machines Hit India
Thomson has launched three budget top-loaders in India. Smart Tech: The fully automatic model uses Fuzzy Logic to self-adjust water and settings by load weight.
Massive Value: The 14 kg model handles large family loads at an aggressive sub-₹14,000 price point.
Top-loading washing machines are having a major moment, and Beko is leading the charge. The flagship brand has officially adapted its game-changing Energy Spin technology—previously exclusive to front-loaders—into a brand-new, highly efficient top-loading model.
For households that prefer the space-saving, ergonomic design of a top-loader, this means you no longer have to compromise on cutting-edge eco-features.
The Power of Energy Spin: 35% Less Power, Zero Compromise
The standout feature of this new model is how it re-engineers the basic wash cycle. Instead of relying heavily on energy-intensive water heating to dissolve your laundry soap, Energy Spin uses optimized drum dynamics.
By deploying unique, high-speed drum movements early in the cycle, the machine dissolves detergent faster and more effectively. The result? You get the exact same deep clean while slashing energy use by up to 35% across 14 different programs, including:
Eco 40-60
Express Quick Wash
Cold Wash
Premium Specs in a Compact Footprint
Beko didn’t skimp on the hardware for this release. This top-loader earns a coveted A-rating for energy efficiency and comes packed with features designed to make laundry day less of a chore.

Premium Scandinavian appliance brand ASKO has introduced Scandinavian Laundry Care 2.0, a next‑generation suite of laundry products built around hygiene, durability and the brand’s signature minimalist design ethos.The launch marks more than 75 years of ASKO laundry innovation, tracing back to the 1950s when Swedish farmer Karl‑Erik Andersson engineered a washing machine for his mother—an origin story that still shapes the brand’s focus on care, simplicity and long‑lasting quality.
A Hygiene‑First Approach: Steel Seal™
A centrepiece of the new range is Steel Seal™, ASKO’s alternative to the traditional rubber door bellow. By removing the rubber gasket—often a hotspot for mould, odours and trapped moisture—ASKO creates a cleaner, more hygienic drum environment while making loading and unloading smoother.
The design has also earned recognition from the National Asthma Council Australia, with selected models receiving the Sensitive Choice award for asthma‑ and allergy‑conscious engineering.

ASKO used this year’s EuroCucina to sharpen its design message with a showcase built entirely around its guiding philosophy: “Precision Matters.” The brand delivered this through an immersive, multi‑sensory environment that connected art, engineering, and Scandinavian craftsmanship.
At the centre of the stand was a striking interactive installation developed with Cosmodernism, the art project led by Kamil Czapiga. The piece visualised how pigment responds to controlled heat — a live, evolving demonstration of the accuracy that underpins ASKO’s Celsius oven technology. It offered visitors a rare look at the science behind the brand’s temperature‑led cooking approach.
That theme of meticulous control carried across the wider presentation, including the latest Celsius ovens, the next‑generation Scandinavian Laundry Care 2.0 range, and ASKO’s award‑winning dishwashers and wine climate cabinets. Each product line reinforced the same message: performance shaped by care, and quality defined by detail.

Whirlpool has introduced its latest innovation in India—the Xpert Care front-load washing machine series—by addressing a surprisingly overlooked issue in laundry care: overwashing. While most brands continue to emphasize stain removal and spin speed, Whirlpool is flipping the script by focusing on fabric preservation. At the heart of this shift is its new Ozone Air Refresh Technology, designed to minimize unnecessary washes and help clothes last longer.
Rethinking the Need to Wash
Whirlpool’s insight is simple but powerful: not every garment needs a full wash. Think office wear, special occasion outfits, or clothes worn just once—these often end up in the laundry basket out of habit, not necessity. The result? Accelerated fading, shrinkage, and fabric fatigue. The Xpert Care range offers a smarter alternative—bridging the gap between traditional washing and dry cleaning.
Meet Ozone Air Refresh: A Waterless Refresh Cycle
The standout feature of the Xpert Care lineup is its Ozone Air Refresh Technology. Instead of water and detergent, the machine uses an integrated ozoniser to convert oxygen into ozone. This ozone is then circulated within the drum, effectively neutralizing odours and bacteria. Once the cycle is complete, the ozone safely reverts to oxygen and is released.
Whirlpool claims the system has been tested for up to 50 consecutive refresh cycles on delicate, dry-clean-only garments—like sarees, blazers, trousers, and embellished clothing—with no shrinkage or colour loss under controlled conditions. Beyond fabric care, the ozone cycle is also said to eliminate up to 99.9% of bacteria, allergens, dust mites, and viruses, while removing persistent smells like cigarette smoke and cooking odours.
