After decades of development, the washing machine product line has been updated several times, from the initial wave to the drum, and now the washing machine industry has ushered in a brand-new branch-wall-mounted washing machine. This article will analyze whether the current wall-mounted washing machine is worth starting by evaluating my new Xiaoji wall-mounted washing machine.
Written in front, if you don't live alone/rarely wash clothes/don't wash big pieces, then the wall-mounted washing machine is definitely not just needed, it can only appear as a "second set" and is a "supplement"! Icing on the cake, not giving timely help! ! !
What about me? I mainly wash clothes for my baby at home.
? The baby is too young, the skin is not mature, and it is easily stimulated by the outside world. Adults often go out, and there are many bacteria on their clothes. If the baby's clothes are washed with the adult's clothes, it is easy to cause cross infection.
? Dirt and bacteria are easy to accumulate in the inner cylinder of washing machine, so how to avoid secondary pollution has become a problem that must be considered.
? The frequency of baby changing clothes is too high, such as spitting milk to wash, eating a meal with vegetable soup to wash, going out to play around to wash ... Although each dress is not big, there are several sets of clothes to wash at the end of the day.
In view of the above reasons, I finally chose to start with the wall-mounted washing machine as a supplement to the traditional washing machine at home. First, baby clothes and adult clothes can be washed separately, and with the function of high-temperature disinfection, the baby is cleaner and more comfortable to wear; Second, it can be installed on the wall without occupying extra space; Third, low energy consumption can increase the frequency of use. ?
Because the wall-mounted washing machine is a relatively new product, the quality of this frequently used electrical appliance must be good. The simplest and most reliable way is to choose products of well-known brands. For example, a certain space, a certain goose, a certain lucky person will have after-sales guarantee even if there is a problem. After multi-angle comparison, Xiaoji V2-TTH wall-mounted washing and drying machine was started.
0 1. Unpacking &; fixed
Compared with the traditional washing machine, which often weighs more than 60kg+, the weight of the wall-mounted washing machine with a net weight of 22kg (gross weight of 29kg) is absolutely small and light.
The packaging is very regular, and the upper and lower foam boxes wrap the main engine tightly, ensuring the integrity of the machine body during transportation. The installation fittings are embedded in the foam box and fixed, so it can be seen at a glance when the package is opened.
Regarding the installation, I believe all people who want to buy a wall-mounted washing machine have the same concern: will it fall down? Unlike the wall-mounted TV, which is quietly hung on the wall, the wall-mounted washing machine is small in size, but it is filled with water to increase its weight during work and vibrates constantly during operation, which has special requirements for the hanging wall of the washing machine:
? Must be a solid wall, the wall thickness must be enough (thickness ≥23cm, except foam wall and light wall), and the load-bearing wall is the best;
? Choose ceramic tile wall to avoid hollowing out the wall.
? Expansion bolts with a depth of 4.5cm can be drilled.
Installation structure of traditional wall-mounted washing machine and Xiaoji patent
The Xiaoji wall-mounted washing machine selected this time has a unique patented fixing technology. Different from other wall-mounted washing machines, it is only fixed by directly embedding four expansion bolts into the wall. Xiaoji wall-mounted washing machine firstly fixed the mounting bracket with four 8.8-grade expansion bolts, then fixed the washing machine on the mounting bracket, and finally fastened it firmly with two fixing bolts. This fixation method is also patented and considered proprietary (patent number: ZL 20 17 2 0 123638.3).
It should be noted that. Normal installation (using the attached accessories) is free, but according to the site conditions, there may be charging items, such as wall reinforcement, extra holes, etc. The detailed list is shown in the above figure. ?
After fixing, turn on the water and electricity to complete the installation. It may be because the capacity is small, the water injection quantity is small, and the water inlet pipe is thinner than the traditional washing machine. A decorative cover for trunking is attached randomly, and the drainage pipe, water inlet pipe and power cord can be fixed reasonably. The following figure shows the effect after installation.
02. Static experience
(1) water drop modeling, multi-color optional.
The shape of water droplets in Xiaoji wall-mounted washing machine is highly recognizable. Besides the titanium silver I chose, there are Mo Landi honey powder, mint green and iris blue, which are suitable for everyone who likes small and fresh.
② Direct drive variable frequency motor
Xiaoji wall-mounted washing machine adopts direct drive frequency conversion motor, which saves space, has no belt mechanical friction, has lower noise and is quieter than BLDC motor.
③ LCD screen, full touch operation.
Xiaoji's operating interface is very distinctive. You can feel that cool feeling at the moment you open it. Touch buttons are very scientific, and tactile feedback is very sensitive without any delay. The menu display and explanation are simple and clear, and it is not difficult to get started.
④ Professional classified washing
The machine has preset washing modes, such as shirt washing, baby washing, sports washing, silk care washing and special air washing. By adjusting the washing temperature, time and other parameters, the cleaning task can be completed more efficiently and energy-saving. The actual measurement will be detailed in the next section.
03. Washing measurement
In the actual cleaning test, I cleaned directly with the clothes my daughter changed these days.
① Standard washing
In order to test the cleaning ability, four kinds of simulated stains such as tomato sauce, cooking oil, soy sauce and oyster sauce were dropped on the handkerchief.
The first is the standard washing mode. Because of the size, this wall-mounted washing machine has no washing box, and the washing liquid can be directly added into the bucket. It is recommended that you use laundry detergent with softener to reduce the operation process. The whole washing process takes 47 minutes, and there will be a prompt after the end.
Generally speaking, the washing effect is very good, and many different types of stains on the handkerchief are washed clean without residue.
② Cooking and washing
Among all clothes, shirts and underwear are the most easily contaminated by bacteria. It is suggested that this kind of clothes should be cleaned by boiling and washing mode. In this mode, the washing water temperature can reach 95℃, which can more effectively dissolve all kinds of stains left on clothes and kill bacteria at high temperature. Avoid cross-infection of bacteria while cleaning more effectively.
Judging from the washing effect, there is no smell of oil and sweat on the close-fitting clothes after boiling and washing, and the sterilization effect of high-temperature boiling and washing is better. Even the close-fitting clothes of adults and the clothes of babies can be safely washed together.
③ Quick washing and drying.
This washing machine also has the functions of quick washing and drying. Clothes under 0.5 kg can be washed quickly in 25 minutes. With the quick-drying function, the whole process can be completed in an hour or so, and it can be washed and dried immediately. Even in rainy season or winter, there is no need to worry about clothes drying out.
This test uses children's pure cotton bath towels.
After this mode, the bath towel is completely dry, without moisture, soft and dry, and can reach the level of the upper body in an instant.
04. Noise, electric energy and water consumption test
In addition to the cleaning effect, the power consumption, water consumption and running noise of the washing machine are also my concerns. In the cleaning effect test, I also used a meter smart plug to count the power consumption, and the water consumption was counted by the amount of water discharged from the drainage pipe (the residual water on the clothes is the error factor).
Smart plug of electric meter =
Water consumption is1.8kg =
① Standard washing
The operation of the washing machine in standard washing mode is still very quiet. The actual noise of the mobile phone test is within 40 decibels, and there is no obvious running sound of the washing machine. Even if it is used at night, it will not cause trouble.
The actual water consumption is about 26.9L (test data minus bucket weight). According to the Changchun water fee (1st gear) of 4.55 yuan/ton, the water fee for washing clothes once in the standard washing mode is 0. 12 yuan.
The power consumption is 0.2 kWh, and the peak power is 1276w. If the electricity charge in Changchun is 0.525 yuan/kwh, then the required electricity charge is 0. 1 1 yuan.
② Cooking and washing
The washing time in cooking and washing mode is 1 hour for 23 minutes, which is longer than that in standard washing mode. The actual test noise is also excellent, which is controlled at about 40 decibels.
The actual water consumption is about 28.7L, which is slightly higher than the standard washing mode. After accounting, the required water fee is 0. 13 yuan.
The electricity consumption is 0.6 =0.8-0.2, the peak power 1276w, and the electricity charge is 0.3 15 yuan.
③ Quick washing and drying.
The sound produced by the quick washing mode is slightly higher than that of the first two modes, and the overall sound exceeds 50 decibels. However, the actual effect is similar to the volume generated by our usual speech, and it has not brought obvious troubles.
Actual water consumption 17.5L, and the required water fee is 0.08 yuan.
The electricity consumption is less than 0. 1 kwh, and the peak power is 2 16.24w, and the electricity fee is 0.05 yuan.
After quick washing, press and hold the drying button for 3 seconds to start the drying mode. The default time is 134 minutes, and the actual time is 94 minutes.
The actual electricity consumption is about 0.7 degrees, the peak power 1208w, and the electricity fee is 0.37 yuan.
The summary table is as follows:
The results show that the wall-mounted washing machines in Xiaoji are excellent in power consumption, water consumption and noise control, and the maximum cost of water and electricity for a single cleaning does not exceed that of 0.5 yuan, ranking among the best in most washing machines.
05, humanized design
In addition to the advantages of clean and energy-saving, Xiaoji wall-mounted washing machine has some very intimate designs. For example, the built-in lighting lamp is convenient to observe the situation in the cylinder on the one hand, and can be put away without turning on the light at night on the other hand.
The inner cylinder is made of S-shaped lifting ribs to simulate hand washing, which can beat the dirt on the clothes more effectively and clean it.
In addition, the washing machine itself also supports the clear reservation function, which can support 24-hour reservation at the longest. For me who go to work on weekdays. You can set the cleaning time in advance, let the washing machine automatically clean, and you can get clean and refreshing clothes when you get home.
The actual performance of Xiaoji V2-TTH wall-mounted washing machine can be said to be very satisfactory in appearance design, cleaning effect, energy saving and mute, and some humanized designs, so I won't repeat them here. Let's answer the fundamental questions that everyone is most concerned about.
Why "supplement" a wall-mounted washing machine?
The wall-mounted washing machine solves the needs of "small amount" and "fine washing" in family life! !
What is a "small amount"?
Normal is a small amount, and a big washing machine can do it. You can wash 3 kilograms at most, but you can't wash more.
Towels, socks, underwear, children's clothes, thin clothes changed in summer.
What is "fine washing"?
Fine washing means washing more carefully and washing more safely.
Thoroughly clean clothes through special washing mode to avoid cross infection of bacteria.
