Description

A washing machine with the outdoor ironing function allows you to take out non-crumpled things from the drum, without bends, creases and creases. Of course, this function does not replace your iron, but the process of ironing clothes will become much easier, positive reviews are proof of this.

The principle of operation of the technology is simple - a larger amount of water and the most delicate spin allow the laundry to not wrinkle during the washing process.

Consider both the advantages of this technology and its disadvantages.

Pros:

1. With this technology, it is really much easier to iron washed clothes, this is especially noticeable when washing dense fabrics, for example, jeans.
2. Easy ironing in the washing machine allows you to extend the life of things, since the fabric is less susceptible to wear than when washing with an aggressive spin.
3. You can also save on electricity, because after washing, the iron and the steamer will be used much less often, and less in time.

Important! It should be noted that this function may differ slightly from one manufacturer to another, but its meaning remains unchanged.

Minuses:

1. Many housewives complain that at the end of the program they pull out not even wet, but very wet laundry from the drum. Most likely, this is a side effect of delicate spin. Therefore, if you decide to use this function, get ready for things to dry much longer than with normal washing.
2. Also a noticeable minus of any model equipped with easy ironing is an increase in washing time - for any of the programs launched in conjunction with it. So - you can forget about energy savings when using a washing machine.
3. In addition to the consumption of electricity, in this mode the device is very uneconomical with water. Consumption can increase by 25%, and sometimes more.
4. Since spinning and rinsing are very delicate, and work at the lowest speeds, things after washing may well remain in the traces of powder.
5. When working with this function, you will not be able to wash a lot at once. Manufacturers recommend loading the drum no more than two-thirds. If you reload the machine, the laundry will turn out crumpled and wrinkled, as with any standard spin program.

Findings:

1. A washing machine with ironing clothes is very convenient when washing strongly wrinkled fabrics, but so far the technology has not been finalized to an ideal result, therefore, linen often turns out to be very wet after washing.
2. Of course, none of the manufacturers will give you the opportunity to pull out already ironed and stacked clothes from the hatch, but it is quite realistic to facilitate the ironing process using this technology. Is it worth it to buy a car with this function - it's up to you. In any case, manufacturers are constantly improving their technology, so you should pay special attention to new items before buying, and then weigh the pros and cons.
3. You should not save on the device, because the lower the price, the less the manufacturer spent the money on a quality study of the necessary technology.
4. In terms of the development of technology and its benefits, there is a more interesting option - a device with the function of drying clothes. But these models immediately increase in price. Therefore, if it is important for you to save time, money, you can try to use a more budget model with easy ironing. She will not be able to replace drying, and even complicate this process, but it will become easier for you to iron things.
5. Of course, the most ideal option is a washing machine with a drying and ironing function, but keep in mind that such devices are far from affordable for everyone.

Important! Regardless of the choice of a specific model of household appliances, you must be able to correctly configure the washing and ironing modes.Keep in mind the following publications:
