Technology Desk: Haier Appliances India has launched its new Haier F17 Washing Machine Series in the Indian market. The company has introduced this series with AI based washing, smart automation and premium design. The most special thing about the machine is its adjustable tilted touchscreen. According to the company, this is the first display of its kind in India, which the user can set at different angles as per his convenience.
Its purpose is to reduce the need to repeatedly bend down while operating the machine. Apart from this, features like AI Wash, Smart Dosing, Steam Wash, Washer-Dryer combination and Wi-Fi connectivity have been provided in the machine.
Haier F17 price in India has been kept at Rs 75,990. It has a capacity of 12 kg, so it has been designed for large families. Due to the larger capacity, more clothes can be washed at one time. Apart from various retail stores in India, the machine can also be purchased from Haier's official website. Talking about warranty, the company is giving 4 years Comprehensive Warranty on Haier F17. At the same time, 12 years warranty is being given on the motor of the machine.
The most different feature of Haier F17 is its Smart Flip TFT Touchscreen. The user can adjust this screen at three different angles according to his need. The screen can be set at angles of 15 degrees, 20 degrees and 25 degrees. This can reduce the need to bend too much to view the machine's controls and screen. Users of different heights can choose the angle of the screen as per their convenience. This design can be especially useful for the elderly or those who have trouble operating the machine by bending down.
AI Wash feature is provided in Haier F17. Its function is to help in choosing the right washing program according to the clothes and the load present in the machine. According to the company, the machine can decide the washing settings taking into account conditions like fabric type, weight of clothes and stains. It has been designed keeping in mind the stains like milk, mud, coffee and sweat that appear on clothes every day. This may reduce the need for the user to manually select the washing mode each time.
Smart Dosing feature is also provided in the machine. It automatically adjusts the amount of detergent according to the load of clothes. The advantage of this could be that the problem of adding more detergent than required is reduced. Users may also be less required to estimate the amount of detergent required for each wash cycle.
Haier F17 has Essence Wash Technology. Water and detergent are first mixed in it. After this this mixture is sprayed on the clothes. The company says that this allows the detergent to reach the clothes more evenly. 24 different Stain Removal Modes are also provided in the machine. These include different washing modes for different stains like sweat, oil and coffee. This allows the user to choose the relevant washing program according to the type of stain.
Steam Wash feature is also available in Haier F17. High-temperature steam is used in this. According to the company, it can help in dealing with bacteria and mites present on clothes. This feature can be especially useful for families where there is a high focus on clothing hygiene or allergy- sensitivities.
Haier F17 is a Washer-Dryer Combination machine. That is, along with washing the clothes, there is also an option to dry them. Different drying settings are given according to the fabric and load of the clothes. This feature can be especially useful during rain and monsoon when it is difficult to dry clothes outside.
However, the washing and drying capacities of Washer-Dryer machines may be different. Therefore, the user has to keep in mind the Drying Load Capacity of the machine while putting clothes.
Haier F17 has a 525mm Super Drum. Larger drums provide more space for clothes to move around. According to the company, its design helps in reducing the problem of excessive tangling of clothes.
The 12 kg washing load with larger drum capacity can be useful for larger families as it gives the option to wash more clothes at one go.
Direct Motion Motor is provided in the machine. Beltless motor system has been used in it. According to the company, this motor design helps in reducing noise and vibration during use of the machine. This can help make machine operation more comfortable, especially during high-speed spin.
