Hisense new washer range

Posted on by

Hisense bhas launched new models of washing machines from the PureStream line. With the focus on shortening washing cycles, specific programs and energy efficiency, most of the models have the A energy rating.

The new Hisense washing machines have been manufactured following the highest washing and hygiene standards. Designed for large families and with a minimum load of 7 kg, a wide range of programs and functions. The most prominent is the quick wash, which shortens the wash time of any of the programs. The Power Wash program, designed for a light load of not heavily soiled clothes, lasts less than an hour, but activating the quick wash only lasts 32 minutes.

Another interesting feature is the steam function, which eliminates up to 99.9% of bacteria. Available in a selection of Hisense washing machines, this program washes clothes at 60º and, after the wash cycle, completes the cleaning with 20 minutes of steam. These washers soften clothes and leave them wrinkle free. Some models include an Anti-Crease function.

Different programs for different fabrics

Hisense has paid special attention to creating specific programs for each type of fabric, such as jeans, wool, down, baby and pet clothes. Other programs have been improved and updated, such as wool, perfect for wool, silk and other delicate fabrics.

All models incorporate the Pause and Add function, which allows you to stop the cycle and add or remove garments from the drum. Thanks to Inverter technology, these washing machines are quiet and highly efficient, while offering better results and saving energy.

Maximum energy efficiency for many years: the new generation of Miele “K 4000” free-standing refrigerators has new, high-quality insulation technology.

The decisive factor is that the insulation technology keeps energy efficiency at a high level over the long service life of Miele appliances. With “PerfectFresh Active”, “K 4000” also offers outstanding storage conditions for fruit and vegetables. The focus here is on insulation panels with silica (silicic acid). The material forms the core of the vacuum insulation panels that keep the cold inside the refrigerator and the heat outside the appliance.

This material not only enables a highly effective, but also much thinner insulation than the usual insulation foam. The associated space saving benefits the interior to the fullest extent, so that there is plenty of space for refrigerated goods even with the particularly elaborately insulated appliances in energy efficiency class A. With “PerfectFresh Active”, “K 4000” also offers outstanding storage conditions for fruit and vegetables.

A great start of the day starts with a better breakfast for you and for our planet.
Philips Domestic Appliances are partnering up with EcoMatcher and Fostering Education & Environment for Development, Inc. (FEED) to celebrate the launch of the Eco Conscious Edition breakfast set in Australia and South Korea.

For every kettle, toaster and coffee maker from the collection sold in Korea and Australia, a tree is being planted in the Sierra Madre mountain range in the Philippines.

The Eco Conscious Edition breakfast set is developed with bio-based plastics made from used cooking oil and plant oil waste and fits perfectly with our ambition to do business responsibly and with sustainability in mind. With every purchase, consumers in South Korea and Australia can name their own tree, see where it was planted, track its carbon sequestration, and listen to the sounds of the tree’s location on the EcoMatcher app.

Fifth time in a row: Miele washing machines are again test winners

Miele WCI 870 WPS achieves the best rating for environmental properties

Excellent grades also in endurance testing and handling

For the fifth time in a row, Miele washing machines are at the top of the podium in the Stiftung Warentest (StiWa). In the current issue of the magazine “test” (issue 10/2022), the WCI 870 WPS and the WWE 360 WPS GreenPerformance received the overall grade GOOD (1.6) and impress over a period of ten years with low operating costs. In total, StiWa evaluated 14 front loaders with loads between 8 kg and 9 kg.

As in the last washing machine and dryer tests by Stiftung Warentest, a Miele appliance, here the WCI 870 WPS, shines with the best environmental properties – with the sole top mark of good (1.9). Among the equally placed test winners, both Miele washing machines even have the lowest operating costs. Current average electricity and water prices serve as the basis for calculation, and future annual price increases have already been taken into account. For this, the editors give the “environmental tip”, which the WCI 870 WPS in particular deserves with the lowest power and water consumption. Significantly, among the devices rated good (1.6), only the two Miele washing machines were awarded energy efficiency class A, while the other test subjects did not get beyond a C.The fact that both Miele appliances received the top mark of 1.0 in the endurance test category is not least a result of the intensive stress tests carried out by the Gütersloh-based household appliance group, which are well above the industry average: Miele tests its washing machines for a service life of up to 20 years (at 5 washes per week) and thus goes far beyond the StiWa specifications. Nine years with 3.5 washes per week are the benchmark here. The Miele appliances also received praise in the test for their precise display of the remaining time and for their easy cleaning and maintenance. In all other categories, too, Miele washing machines always achieved a very good or good rating.

The test results for the Miele WCI 870 WPS apply analogously to the WWI 860 WPS and WEI 875 WPS devices of the same construction.

Equipped with a range of convenient features

In addition to the evaluated criteria, both devices scored well in the test with the innovative PowerWash washing process, with which even very small quantities are cleaned in an energy-efficient manner (“washing effect A”). In connection with the QuickPowerWash program, this even works in less than an hour. With CapDosing, special detergents, fabric softeners or additives can be easily dosed in practical portion capsules. The AddLoad function makes it possible to add or remove forgotten items of laundry until just before the end of the program. Of course, both appliances also have the legendary Miele honeycomb drum, which, thanks to its honeycomb structure, ensures maximum laundry protection.

The WCI 870 WPS device also has the TwinDos automatic liquid detergent dosing system, which is integrated in the device. With TwinDos, detergents can be saved by up to 30 percent*, independently confirmed by the renowned Öko-Institut e. V. in Freiburg. TwinDos automatically doses at the right time and in the right proportions: overdosing or underdosing, as well as fiddling with detergent, are a thing of the past – for maximum convenience and washing at the push of a button.
