New energy labels for washing machines

Washing machines have received a new energy label since March 1, 2021.
The classes are stricter, and consumption measurement methods are more realistic for daily conditions.
HIFI international is happy to explain the new energy labels to you.

New energy label for washing machines
Tests for washing machines are now based on the energy consumption of 100 washes using the "Eco 40-60" program. Previously, consumption was calculated based on 220 washes. This figure represented the number of washes per year, but in reality, it varied greatly depending on the size of the household, and was therefore not truly representative.

The energy labels clearly indicate the duration of an "Eco 40-60" program. It often takes longer but allows the washing machine to operate very efficiently.
If you sprint 1 km, you consume more energy than if you walk 1 km. You can compare an eco-program to a walk.

The "Eco 40-60" program is intended for normally soiled laundry made of linen, cotton, and mixed fibers. It offers a good balance between energy and water consumption.
Always check your garment’s care label for the maximum washing temperature to ensure your clothes stay in perfect condition for longer.
