Most of modern washing machines use electronic control systems electronic commands , which implement a display of various washing functions. The type of laundry, the preferred washing intensity, delay time, rinse mode, water temperature and a list of other parameters are set in the functional menu.
A mentally healthy citizen is able to cope with such a system only if one has a manual in American or a russified menu. In the latest models the developers of washing machines refuse complicated multi-step control procedures.
In this case, it uses the principle of “fuzzy logic” Fuzzy Logic, which independently controls the washing process. The owners only need to specify the type of fabric, and then the machine, continuously analyzing the amount of water, its turbidity, temperature, drum speed, using special sensors, will select the best mode of washing, and if necessary, it will make the necessary corrections.
Fuzzy Logic equipped machines cost 3000-4500 roubles more than conventional models of the same class. Along with the convenience of operation, they give notable up to 20% savings of power and water.

What class does the washing machine belong to?
What class is the washing machine? Is it a high-efficiency model or a traditional one?
The class of the washing machine depends on its energy efficiency rating. If it has a high-efficiency rating, it would be considered a high-efficiency model. On the other hand, if it lacks an energy-efficient rating, it would be classified as a traditional washing machine.
What class is the washing machine? Is it energy-efficient or does it consume a lot of electricity? I’m trying to make an informed decision before purchasing a new one.
