Samsung Eco Bubble washing machine, description, instructions

There are various models of washing machines on the household chemicals market. Manufacturers compete to attract attention from consumers to their brand; every day equipment is equipped with more and more innovative technologies. For example, Eco Bubble is now considered a well-known brand that develops and produces home appliances. But what is this function in a washing machine and how to use it? Let's figure it out.

Features of a Samsung washing machine with Eco bubble function

What does the name eco bubble mean? Eco means environmental friendliness, and bubble means bubbles in English. From this it becomes clear that the washing process is accompanied by the formation of many soap bubbles. They are produced by a special steam generator located inside the washing equipment.

The initial stage of washing is characterized by thorough shaking of the detergent with water and air. As a result, the lightest foam is whipped, which increases the rate of penetration into the fabric fibers 40 times than simple water with powder. With this, things are washed much more efficiently and neatly.

Attention! You can, without fear or risk, throw delicate, thin fabrics into the wash that are dangerous to wash in a regular washing machine.

We are talking about silk, chiffon, wool, etc. During washing, Samsung Eco Bubble washing machines do not wrinkle them much, but of course, you must take into account the number of revolutions and setting the desired program. When rinsing, the uniformity and homogeneity of the foam structure is washed out much more effectively, without leaving terrible stains on clothes.

Eco bubble – washing clothes by equipping water with oxygen bubbles. Thanks to this, the soap-water mixture penetrates contaminated fabrics more effectively, removing any stains. A kind of foaming agent that enhances the washing effect is located between the unit tank and the dispenser tube. In terms of technical equipment, Eco Bubble dissolves the powder faster and foams it, which significantly saves time.

Effective stain removal

Intensive soaking

Even very dirty clothes become clean. The bubble soak feature helps remove a variety of stains such as blood, tea, wine and grass. Garments are thoroughly saturated with active foam bubbles, so that all dirt and stains are dissolved and removed more effectively*.

*Tested according to IEC 60456 5th edition / Cotton Cold/40/60°C (9kg load), Synthetic 40°C (4kg load) in Bubble Soak Wash (WW90J6410CW) and compared with wash cycle without Bubble Soak Wash option (WW90J6410CW).

Design and characteristics of Samsung Eco bubble

The equipment is made in calm white or silver (gray) tones without bright accents. The washing machine has a massive hatch in a glossy gray color. On the left is a compact compartment for detergents, and on the right is a convenient control panel with an electronic display. You can select the Eco Bubble function on the panel.

In the middle there is a washing program switch, while some functions are highlighted with a red indicator. In general, the design differs from standard units in Japanese minimalism and functionality. Is this really so, we will consider below.

Main characteristics:

Eco Bubble washing machines from Samsung have standard dimensions for all models (600 mm x 800 mm x 450 mm);
modes are switched using a rotary wheel;
Front loading of laundry, maximum weight – up to 8 kilograms;
the weight of the equipment is 63 kg;
electronic control and digital graphic display;
contains about 17 different washing modes, 5 levels of temperature selection;
the ability to make 1200 revolutions per minute;
has low power consumption (class A++).

Eco Bubble function

The main difference between these washing machines and conventional ones is that during the washing process, the powder is activated by a bubble generator before the water is supplied. The technology allows you to use washing cycles in cold water, saving energy and even powder consumption.

According to the manufacturer, this development allows you to wash difficult stains even at a temperature of 30 degrees.

The “Intensive Eco” washing program allows you to wash items at a low temperature of 150 (for normal washing, temperature 400), which will save energy without wasting productivity.
System for caring for children's things. This program reduces detergent residue, helping to reduce baby's skin irritation.
The “Child Lock” function allows you to protect your equipment from interference by children.
The “Outerwear” washing program helps reduce wear and tear on clothes made from waterproof materials.

At what temperature should you wash cotton?

If there is protein contamination of the product, especially blood stains, temperatures above 30 degrees are strictly prohibited. At high temperatures, structural changes begin in protein molecules, and it will be impossible to get rid of such stains.

If there are thin items in the laundry basket without significant dirt, namely a shirt, summer dress or bustier, then they can be washed by hand.

Design Features

from Samsung - a honeycomb drum, the holes of which are smaller compared to models from other manufacturers. They are placed in peculiar faceted recesses, and in some models the rows of recesses are arranged in a wave-like manner.

This design prevents fabric fibers from being pulled out during the washing process and allows the laundry to easily slide along the walls of the drum and not tangle. The washed item has no snags, pilling or other damage.

A standard Samsung washing machine with Eco Bubble is equipped with a reliable ceramic heater that does not form scale (the manufacturer claims trouble-free operation of this element for 10 years) and a surge protection system (safe operation within 165-275 V) .

In case of a sharp surge (up to 400 V), the system ensures that the washing cycle is suspended and resumed after the network voltage has stabilized.

Most consumers claim that the weight of the machine is too large, especially considering its compact dimensions, about 63 kg. This is despite the fact that the mass of most models of modern washing machines is 56-60 kg. The difference is small, but nevertheless it exists.

However, this is not at all a reason to say a decisive “no” to the purchase. As for the management, most people are completely delighted. Switching modes is done simply by turning the wheel.

The machine has a classic front-loading system. Most users prefer this type of laundry load. An undoubted advantage is that the car has electronic control.

Important! The instructions for Samsung Eco Bubble 6 kg make it easy to understand the controls. The machine is equipped with a timer and an electronic display, which makes it possible to monitor washing parameters.

Loading volume A drum designed for 6 kg of laundry is considered optimal by many buyers. However, in the Samsung Eco Bubble line there are models designed for 8 kg.

Important! It should be taken into account that many washing devices with the same load volume, compared to the Samsung Eco Bubble 6 kg, are not nearly as compact.

Basic and additional functions of Samsung Eco Bubble

All machines are front loading. The maximum weight of laundry loaded for washing on a Samsung washing machine with Eco Bubble: 6 – 12 kg. There is a delayed wash function.

All models have protection against water leaks and child protection. In addition, almost all provide control over imbalance and foam levels.

Dimensional characteristics are standard for full-size and narrow cars: height 85 cm, width in the vast majority of models - 60 cm, depth - within 40-60 cm (the most common sizes are 45 and 55 cm).

The maximum spin speed is in the range of 1000-1200 rpm for cheap models and 1400-1600 for more expensive ones. Washing machines in this series are characterized by a fairly low noise level: a little more than 50 dB for washing and no more than 75 dB for spinning.

All devices are equipped with a display on which the owner can always see current information about the washing process. The display, depending on the model, can be digital (graphic) or LCD (text).

If the Samsung washing machine with Eco Bubble malfunctions, an error in the form of a code is displayed on the screen located on the front panel. For example, you see error signal E1 on the display.

Some models offer clothes drying, remote control of the washing process using a smartphone, and a number of others as additional functions.

The price of a machine that implements this technology depends on the specific model. One of the most expensive models WW10H9600EW/LP will cost its owner almost 90,000 RUR. But it will have almost everything you could want from a modern washing machine: full overall dimensions, a direct drive inverter motor, which comes with a 10-year Samsung Electronics warranty, a branded honeycomb drum with a load of up to 10 kg.

It is possible to adjust the spin speed from 300 to 1,600 rpm, and auto-weighing.

As in cheaper models, there is a delicate wash mode, a delayed and short wash mode, half-loading of the drum is possible, self-diagnosis of faults and much more. Features low vibration and noise levels. Unfortunately, there is no drying.

What is the essence of eco bubble technology?

If we literally translate the name into Russian, we get “eco-bubbles”. And it immediately becomes clear that the unit produces a lot of soap bubbles. The design is based on a flow-through supercharger located between the dispenser pipe and the tank. It enriches water and powder with air, forming extensive foam, which enters the centrifuge.

A special design of modern washing machines involves a foam generator. Let's take a regular washing machine. Water with powder that has not completely dissolved is sent into the drum. That is why users try to turn on a longer wash cycle so that the detergent is well diluted in water and better removes dirt.

The Samsung Eco Bubble washing machine does not require too long a wash, since the detergents enter the tank already prepared.

Laundry washing quality, energy consumption

Samsung equipment, including Eco Bubble, is distinguished by its economical energy consumption and belongs to the A+ category. This is considered a very good indicator. Consumers write the same thing in their reviews. There are also no complaints about the quality of washing.

Operating modes

The machines of this line have 5 temperature settings. There are 17 different wash modes, as well as the new Eco Bubble washing technology. This technology involves washing clothes in a large amount of foam with an air cushion. The ability to spin at 1200 rpm also attracts buyers. Not all modern models of washing machines can boast of such characteristics.

Possible mistakes

Samsung washing machine with Eco Bubble has the following most common error codes.

Error 3E – motor failure.
4E – incorrect connection to the water supply or the presence of a foreign object in the fill valve.
5E – drain hose clogged.
8E – malfunction of the control circuits and improper rotation of the drum.
9E1 - lack of electricity.
TE1 – failure of the heating element.
T E1 – excess foam.
2H – there is no water in the drum.
UE – uneven loading of things.

These are the most common errors in a Samsung washing machine with Eco Bubble.

Next, watch a video review of the Samsung WW65J42E0HW washing machine.

Laundry

Select the required program and spin speed for the cycle.

Cotton – moderately or lightly soiled cotton products, bed linen, napkins and tablecloths, underwear, towels, shirts, etc.
Synthetics - moderately or lightly soiled blouses, shirts, etc., made of polyester (diolen, trevira), polyamide (perlon, nylon) or a similar composition.
Jeans – the increased water level during the main wash and during the additional rinse removes any residual detergent that can leave stains on your clothes.
Daily – Used for daily use items such as underwear and shirts. a short program for organizations testing devices.
Quick 15′ – this program is intended for lightly soiled laundry weighing up to 2 kg that needs to be washed urgently.

Washing duration values (15' minutes) may differ from the indicated values and depend on water pressure, water hardness, water inlet temperature, room temperature, type and weight of items washed and the degree of soiling, detergent used, deviation of the power supply voltage and additionally selected functions.

Add only a small amount of detergent for small loads of laundry (weighing no more than 2 kg) for the Quick 15-minute wash cycle. If you add too much detergent, it may remain after washing.

Intensive Eco wash – the low-temperature Eco Bubble program will provide you with excellent washing with significant energy savings.
Outerwear - use this program for outerwear such as mountain clothing, ski clothing and sportswear. For garments made from functionally processed fabrics including fibers such as spandex, stretch and microfiber.
Wool - The only wool items that can be machine washed. The loading volume must be less than 2 kg.

Washing in the Wool Washing mode is carried out by calmly rocking the drum. In the Rinse mode, gentle rocking and soaking continues to prevent the wool fibers from shrinking/changing shape and to ensure the most gentle cleaning possible. Stopping this operation is easy.

To obtain the best washing results and to better preserve the wool fibers, it is recommended to use a neutral washing powder in the Wool Washing mode.

Children's clothes - washing at high temperatures and additional rinse cycles will eliminate the presence of traces of any washing powders on your delicate clothes.
Rinse + Spin - this mode is used when washing clothes that only require rinsing, or to add conditioner during rinsing.

How to bleach cotton items

White fabric can be bleached. Boiling with a small amount of washing powder and oxygen bleach will return the laundry to a fresh look. Chlorine-based bleaches can be used, but they gradually break down the fibers. Modern oxygen bleaches are very effective even at low temperatures.

Difficult stains should be treated before washing. Protein stains and traces of blood should be soaked in hydrogen peroxide, which will dissolve the traces.

Traditional methods of removing stains are best left in the past. There is no point in measuring spoons of turpentine or pouring boiling water or vinegar onto the fabric. Modern detergents can easily remove red wine, sweat stains and pen marks. At the same time, knitted T-shirts and designs on which are applied in various ways will remain undamaged. Bed linen will not shrink, and the fabric at the site of treatment with an ineffective product will not change color.

Benefits of Eco bubble

The foamy liquid is forty times more active and permeates fabric materials much more evenly.
Foam, enveloping the fabric, serves as a kind of protective layer that prevents mechanical damage and premature wear.
Can be washed without heating. At 15 degrees, you can wash things with the same quality as in a regular machine at 40 degrees. Consequently, savings in energy costs reach 70%.

The powder, evenly dissolved, is easier to wash off from things. This benefit is especially important for children and people with allergies to chemical detergents.

Here are a few more advantages due to the design features of the Samsung Eco Bubble 6 kg washing machine:

high quality washing even at low (15 degrees) water temperature. Firstly, this is a delicate washing of fabrics that are “capricious” to care for, and secondly, it is economical energy consumption (savings of 60-70 percent).
The drainage holes in the drum are shaped like a faceted diamond and are located in special recesses. Washing is more gentle. The fabric fibers are not damaged.
The machine is equipped with a ceramic heater without scaling. This increases the service life of the unit.
