3. Produk verbyview
The AQUA AQW-D8R-R-W is a drum-type washing and drying machine designed for efficient and thorough laundry care. Key features include:
- All-round Penetration Washing: The straight drum alternates between rotation and stopping, allowing high-concentration detergent to quickly penetrate clothes. This method includes 'tapping wash' and 'rubbing wash' for effective stain removal and wrinkle reduction.
- Hot Water Wash Mode (up to 8kg): Warms the washing liquid to activate enzymes, effectively removing stubborn stains and yellowing from deep within fabric fibers. (Note: Check garment care labels for suitable water temperatures. Not all yellowing may be removed.)
- Tangle-free, Wrinkle-reducing, Sterilizing Drying: The straight drum gently spreads clothes to minimize wrinkles during drying. The 'horizontal = straight drum' design prevents tangling, resulting in fluffy towels. This mode also sterilizes garments.
- Ventless Drying: Utilizes a circulating air path within the straight drum to efficiently warm clothes without releasing humid hot air outside, ensuring a comfortable laundry room environment. The 'Spin-Dry/Dry Cycle' is ideal for drying specific items after removing non-dryable clothes or for drying hand-washed items. High spin speeds ensure thorough water removal before drying.
- Automatic Drying Filter Cleaning: The internal filter, which collects lint and dust during drying, is automatically cleaned with shower water and a rubber wiper. This reduces manual maintenance and helps maintain drying efficiency.
