Every Indian comes across a stereotype that doesn’t strike a kind note, and this is with doing laundry. Who in their right mind would want those gym t-shirts, kurta-pajamas from the weekends, or that best white shirt that served you well at the wedding friend’s serve to a washing machine?
What is interesting though is this,
imagine a scenario where a washing machine is capable of thinking. A world where it understands how many clothes to toss in, amounts of water to add, and what cycle to go for.
We have machines that do just that. You no longer need smart technology. Welcome to the world where machines auto detect load size and adjust water usage accordingly. It is now common sense.
Taking Indian Reality into Consideration
Realistically speaking, it’s not that straightforward. Instead of collar dust so commonplace where the cricket jerseys are worn on the street, a wheeze and yawning chai stains on formal for lunch opens infamously more after curry dhabas for dinner. All of these boundaries come together to create a curry smudge in the world of garlic.
The blended aspect comes together to create a bizarre catch where you would only wash a five part set, or opt for a full post wedding family from over a weekend.
That’s where auto-load detection comes in. It eliminates the mystery.
So, what’s the technology?
- You throw your laundry into the drum
- The machine weighs your clothes in silence
- It then decides how much water to use based on that weight
- It also chooses the appropriate cycle length
- Some even modify spin and temperature settings based on what’s in there
Makes you feel like your dhobi is using a highly advanced sensing device.
You save water, big time.
Now, let’s discuss the savings. In a country that is running low on water with each passing summer, this makes a difference.
You’ve only got a few clothes to wash. Maybe some socks, a couple of boxers, and a gym vest. Do you really want the machine to use 40 litres of water for filling up? Exactly.
These appliances do not waste even one liter, and that is why it is great for:
- Individuals who live in towns and cities and are within reach of a tanker water supply.
- Flat mates or students sharing apartment rags with low water pressure.
- Fans who believe in eco conscious but still love to be squeaky cleans.
Why Indian Men Are Waking Up to Smart Laundry
This is not greenwashing. It is about being smart with one’s life.
Let us imagine the life of a bachelor. There is no waiting 5 days to collect a full load as wishful thinking suggests. Most likely it would be over the weekend, and would prefer if the washing itself is done by Monday.
Or in a more common scenario, Living with their parents, You have your own routine all set. Do not want to fight over what settings go with what. Need a machine that has a button saying “Who knows just make it happen”.
Auto-load sensing does exactly that. It reads the room (or rather, the drum).
It’s also about money.
We all know saving water is good. But saving money? Para-better.
No brainer, what about your electricity bill. Reduced water means savings in the heater (for the users of warm washes). Reduced mean spins, fire and toil. Ends up saving quite a lot in detergent as well.
And in the long run, the machine stays healthier as it doesn’t overwork on every dual load.
What do we gain from this?
- Reduced bills for water and power
- Less soap usage
- Silencing of machines
- A longer life for the equipment
Everything to gain and nothing to give up.
Truly A Mix of Extravagance and Desi Excellence
Exaggerated marketing makes us disregard these advancements as reserved for rich people, but the truth is this is the kind of improvement one needs in Indian houses.
It’s not for flexing, it’s for:
- A smoother process of doing laundries
- Compatible with your life and lifestyle, no doctorate needed for operation
- Work? Offer a hand or two more than needed, smartly, saves time, gets more done with less
Admit it, machines that tell you, “don’t stress me! Just grab a seat. I got you!” is pretty cool.
Let’s Look at A Few Situations in Depth
1. Work’s In 30 Minutes
OMG, you just remembered that your work uniform shirt is somewhere buried in the laundry basket. Pop that shirt in and freely. The machine knows you only have a shirt, on its lonesome trek, so it cuts the trip in half, aka thirty minutes less time and water needed. Water shirt blended office, yes. Water shirted me, no.
2. In A Shared PG With 2 Other Roommates
One does laundry on the weekdays. One prefers to wait until the weekend. You fall somewhere in between avid and infrequent washers. No sweat over water use, no deadpan overloading dangers. A blessing itself.
3. You Work Out Every Day
Those gym clothes you wear daily? They do not require the intense blanket cycle. Your machine understands that, so it gives it a quick wash with less water and you will be ready by evening.
Which Machines Are Actually Smart Enough?
Okay, let us not beat around the bush. There are plenty of machines that look smart, but act dumb.
These are the checkboxes to take note of:
- Auto Load Sensing: Not optional. The machine must be able to sense the weight
- AI Wash Programs: Knows how to deal with different types of fabrics.
- Direct Motion Motors: They must be quiet, sleek and durable.
- Quick Wash Modes: For unplanned laundry.
- Energy Star Ratings: The more, the merrier, in this case.
