LG washing machines with steam function
Any housewife is preoccupied with the question of how to make the wash of the highest quality, having received at the exit absolutely clean linen without stains, unnecessary odors and free from all sorts of allergens. Modern industry produces a great variety of washing powders and other detergents designed to make washing as efficient as possible. However, not all of these products are good for health, and people with a tendency to skin allergies to washing powder feel this problem especially acutely. LG washing machines with True Steam function help to cope with the situation.
Peculiarities
The South Korean company LG first released washing machines with the function of steam processing of laundry in 2005, but such units appeared on the Russian market later, so our consumers still do not have a very good idea of the difference between ordinary washing machines and devices equipped with the True function. Steam.
The fact is that in an ordinary washing machine, which does not include this innovative technology, the water temperature in the drum is not the same, and allergens have the opportunity to "hide" in its colder part... In order to evenly warm the laundry being washed, it is necessary to maintain a constant temperature of 60 degrees for 30 minutes, which becomes possible when using an LG washing machine with a steam function.
The smallest organic and inorganic particles penetrate deep into the fibers of the fabric, which makes it difficult to wash the laundry, since it is rather difficult for the washing powder to get to such stubborn dirt. A special mode of steam washing comes to the rescue, during which hot steam freely penetrates between the fibers of the fabric, destroying foreign particles, destroying allergens, bacteria and foreign odors.
Let's list the main advantages of LG washing machines with steam function.
- Improvement of washing quality by 20% compared to conventional washing machines.
- Efficiency in operation - this result is achieved due to the fact that steam generation requires several times less water than for regular washing, in addition, the operating time of the washing machine is significantly reduced, which also reduces energy consumption.
- Effectiveness of washing the thinnest fabrics - it has been noticed that the True Steam function is best suited for delicate washing, since processing laundry with hot steam is similar to boiling it, and in addition, the fabrics do not fade or deform.
- This option completely replaces the pre-soak of the laundry, while acting much more efficiently. Laundry treated with hot steam can be washed much better.
- The ability to destroy microscopic mites that live in different types of tissue. It is enough just to turn on the "steam effect" option, which will destroy these harmful inhabitants and disinfect the laundry without washing with water.
- Hot steam treatment of linen and clothes removes bacteria and allergens from clothes.
- This function helps to freshen and release the laundry from small wrinkles, perfectly preparing things for their subsequent ironing.
Some users also mention the disadvantages of such washing machines.
- The True Steam function is not available for some wash modes.
- Not all types of stains can be washed with this technology.
- This function does not replace ironing, but only makes it easier (however, no instructions for such machines say otherwise).
- Laundry after steam treatment remains slightly damp and requires additional drying. However, some LG brand washing machines with steam treatment also have a drying function, which, of course, affects the price of such units.
- Quite a high price for LG machines with True Steam capability. However, many of their owners note that the game is worth the candle - high-quality washing, clean linen, free from bacteria and allergens, economic efficiency during operation fully pay off the additional costs of purchasing such a washing machine.
Thus, we can conclude that the positive aspects of such washing machines are much greater than the negative ones. Such smart cars are in great demand among buyers both in our country and abroad.
