Washing and drying devices have become popular in recent years due to their efficiency and the ability to combine several stages of cleaning things in one unit. Manufacturers offer a wide range of washing machines, complementing them with steam processing and remote control functions. The device becomes a truly indispensable assistant in the home, helps save time and free space, and can be connected to the Smart Home system.

How to choose and what to pay attention to?

Basic criteria that will simplify the choice of washing machine:

• number of programs - in addition to the standard program, models are equipped with an express mode and programs for washing items made from certain materials;
• installation method - machines can be free-standing or built-in;
• loading type - all modern models with drying have front loading;
• capacity - the larger the chamber volume, the larger items can be washed;
• drying - depending on the model, this mode can dry up to 4 kg of items.

Principle of operation

Drying starts automatically or manually after all consecutive cycles have been completed. After completing the last washing cycle - spinning, the process of drying the laundry starts. The drum begins to rotate slowly, and hot air, thanks to the fan, enters the drum and circulates. Excess moisture is collected in a reservoir or directly flows down the drain. Thus, the laundry drying process occurs, which is controlled by installed sensors that measure the moisture level during the drying process.

It is worth understanding that the drying function has a number of features. The manufacturer tries to satisfy the needs of the consumer as best as possible, so even this program has several varieties (modes).

Drying clothes provides various programs for performing this process:

Standard:

• Quick drying (intensive) - this type of drying is installed in all drying machines, and provides guaranteed drying of laundry in the shortest possible time (40–60 minutes).
• Gentle drying, "Closet drying" - delicate drying processes that ensure gentle handling of fabrics, do not overdry them and prevent the formation of deep wrinkles. However, the operating time of such a program will be longer than with intensive drying.

Additional:

• Ironing is an additional function that makes subsequent ironing easier. The dried laundry passes through steam, which softens it and smoothes out large wrinkles.
• Dry washing is a washing process without water that sterilizes and refreshes items and removes foreign odors. Very useful for applying to things that have simply been lying in the closet for a long time.
