Product Description

With the Rapid Option, you can significantly reduce cycle times by deciding to shorten the washing duration before starting the programme. This feature guarantees exceptional washing performance while potentially cutting the washing time by up to 50% (percentage varies based on the load and selected programme).

The Steam Hygiene cycle offers top-tier care and protection for a completely hygienic wash. By injecting steam directly into the drum at the end of the cycle, it effectively eliminates up to 99.9% of common bacteria, all without the need for chemical additives.

Say goodbye to guessing detergent amounts. AutoDose intelligently detects the ideal detergent and softener quantities based on your wash load, potentially allowing you to wash up to 26 times with a single fill. Keep your fabrics in excellent condition while saving on detergent costs.

Our innovative Direct Drive motor replaces traditional belt-driven motors with a high-performance direct drive mechanism, minimising noise levels while delivering quality and reliability for your laundry needs.

Achieve maximum resource efficiency with potential energy savings of up to 45% and water savings of up to 50%*. The Load Detect sensor identifies your load size and automatically optimises energy, time, and water usage for the cycle. (*Tested on Mixed cycle with and without Load Detect.)

GentlePower Technology ensures impeccable cleaning performance while potentially saving up to 65% energy and 59% water*. When activated, it releases a precise stream of water from the drum's top, distributing it evenly across your garments for a thorough wash that guarantees both performance and efficiency. (*Tested on ECO 40-60 cycle with and without GentlePower and Load Detect.)
