Toshiba to market air-conditioning washing machine

I gotta get me one of those. . gonna have to make a trip to Bic Camera round July payday time

 

It air-conditions inside the drum?

 

tell me why is this good?

 

better air than us humans? funny how things work out.

heres a question for all u washing machine experts...I always found Japanese(top loading)washing machines to be abit useless at cleaning in comparison to the ones that I use in the UK (front loading). Whys that?...always made me curious that.

 

Eager market in view of bird droppings, flapping in wind against dusty walls ....

 

Under Cool Biz it will be run at 28C and the clothes wont dry for days.

 

Actually, it aint the temp that dries the clothes--the lack of humidity, and air circulation. . .that should do wonders. Hot air just makes the clothes hot and damp. Consider how long it takes to let your clothes dry on a hot day if it is really muggy. . .
Dray air, circulating, and cooler than outside. . sounds like a good combo to me. . If these things work well, I might have to do laundry while I cook ;)

 

Yes you are right. I was just joking really and taking a shot at Cool Biz. I was thinking of how long I take to dry in summer thanks Mr Koizumi.

 

Japanese washing machines do not appear to heat the water. Unless you have a hot water feed to the machine it seems everything is cold washed. I haven't for instance seen temperature controls on J-washing machines which leads me to believe this is the case but I may be wrong.

 

thanks for that...makes sense as my old machine in Japan didn't ahve any temp controls either

 

Japanese machines use cold water, as mentioned, and also the power supply in the UK is much higher. I think this plays a part in their ability to spin faster and bash the washing about a bit more to dislodge those bits of dried up baked beans and remove all those dead bits of skin and dust that always seem to remain here.Or am I the only one who`s noticed this?

 

and beat them on the rocks.

 

Here I thought they were going to use the washing machine as a room air conditioner and use the excess heat to warm the water. Now that would be cool (biz)!

Oh, washing machines in the US don't heat the water either, you have to have a hot water hook up to get warm or hot water. But you do have a selector. That way you can shrink everything...

 

I guess if you want to use hot water in the washing machine, you can always run a hose from the sink. . .or just do laundry in the furo.
