Inverter Motor
With an inverter motor, you’ll never have loud spins interrupting film nights again. It makes sure your washing machine's motor rotates at the best speed for the load, reducing vibration for a much quieter spin. The machine will last longer as well, since it has fewer moving parts which means less friction. And it uses less energy than conventional washing machines, so it’s kinder to your wallet and to the planet.
Inverter Motor
The inverter motor makes sure that the washing machine makes as little noise as possible. It limits vibrations by rotating at the best speed for the load, so you don’t have to ramp up the volume to hear the TV, even on the faster cycles. It’s also a reliable, long-lasting piece of kit so you shouldn’t need to replace or repair it in a hurry, it’s here to stay.
Direct Motion Motor
Haier’s washing machines are the quietest on the market, thanks to their beltless Direct Motion motors. Using fewer mechanical components than traditional machines, the motor produces fewer vibrations – which in turn reduces noise levels for quieter spin cycles. Not only is this great for open plan living, it also means you won’t use as much energy, saving you a pretty penny in the process.
EcoSilence Drive
Gone are of the days of noisy washing machines rattling across the kitchen – NEFF’s EcoSilence Drive sees to that. That means the drum is fitted with clever frictionless magnets that make less noise, last longer, and can even save you a few pennies on your bills. They’re the perfect fit for open plan kitchens since it won’t go walkabouts halfway through a cycle, and they last longer too!
