Detergent-Mixing Washing Machines

This Washer Premixes Detergent and Water for Better Clean

— January 19, 2016 — Art & Design
'Electrolux' is taking the guesswork out of measuring laundry detergent with a new washing machine that automatically premixes detergent and water. As a result, consumers will no longer have to debate whether they should add detergent before they load their clothes or after the tub is filled with water.

The latest washing machines from Electrolux are equipped with SmartBoost technology, which premixes detergent and water for a better clean. Consumers simply add their detergent and stain remover to a small compartment before starting the machine. These additives are then mixed with water to deliver a fast and more effective clean. The technology works with both hot or cold water, making it ideal for washing nearly any kind of material.

The ultra-efficient washing machines will be available for purchase as of April 2016.
Trend Themes
1. Detergent-mixing Technology - Electrolux's SmartBoost technology premixes detergent and water to deliver a fast and more effective clean, providing an opportunity for further research in detergent-mixing technology.
2. Smart Home Appliances - The introduction of Electrolux's new detergent-mixing washing machine with SmartBoost technology allows for more opportunities in developing smart home appliances that can perform tasks automatically.
3. Efficient Washing Machines - Electrolux's SmartBoost technology delivers a fast and more effective clean, providing an opportunity for other manufacturers to develop more efficient washing machines.
Industry Implications
1. Home Appliances - Electrolux's new washing machine with SmartBoost technology falls under the home appliances industry, and there is an opportunity to innovate and research in developing more efficient and smart home appliances.
2. Detergent Industry - The development of Electrolux's SmartBoost technology provides an opportunity for the detergent industry to create more efficient and effective ways to clean clothing and other materials.
3. Technology Industry - The introduction of SmartBoost technology in Electrolux's washing machine provides an opportunity for the technology industry to further develop smart home appliances and improve upon existing technology.
