Using a washing machine shouldn’t be perceived to be costly
today. Mr. Charles Kimari from SamsungElectronics East Africa reveals that; the latest models of washing machines
have become energy efficient and cost effective with updated features that
enable them to consume 30-40% less energy than the older ones.
Speaking during a
washing machine activation at Greenspan Mall, Mr. Kimari said that the new models such as the
Samsung AddWash washing machine are equipped with Eco Bubble technology that
pre-mixes air, water and detergent to create bubbles that penetrate clothes
faster and more effectively, enabling the machine to wash items at cooler
temperatures. Such energy saving is good for both the environment and one’s
monthly electricity bills.
According to Mr
Kimari, the new models also go a long way in saving one’s water bills and water
usage, especially at a time like this when the country is being faced with a
water shortage brought about by drought.
“With the current
water shortage being experienced in the country, it is advisable for one to
find ways of conserving water and reduce the water bills. Our new technology
uses less than half the water compared to the conventional models or
hand-washing,” he says.
He further stressed the importance of ensuring one’s washing
machine is clean to prevent mold build-up that can end up destroying the
machine.
“When it comes to
basic care of the washing machine it is always advisable to regularly wipe it
inside and out and keep the lid open for about 15 minutes after every wash
cycle to release the moisture. It is also important to use an AVS protector
(Automatic Voltage Switcher), especially where power fluctuations are common.
In addition, place the machine on a flat surface to avoid damaging it,” he said.
