The 9kg drum holds the equivalent of approximately 45 T-shirts per wash, making it a practical choice for households that run regular full loads. MixPower System for Better Fabric Care: The MixPower System sprays a precise blend of water and detergent directly onto clothes from the start of the cycle, ensuring thorough cleaning while protecting individual fibres. This targeted approach means detergent is not simply left sitting on garments — it is actively worked through the load from the outset. Steam Mode and Quick Wash Programmes: Steam Mode is available as a dedicated programme option, helping to freshen fabrics and reduce creasing without the need for pre-treatment. Eight of the 16 programmes are quick cycles, including a 14-minute rapid wash, making it straightforward to turn around smaller loads quickly on busier days. Soft Drum, Dual Spray, and Self-Clean: The Soft Drum has an ultra-smooth interior surface that helps prevent clothes from snagging or catching during the wash, keeping garments looking newer for longer. The Dual Spray system cleans the door interior after each cycle, and the Drum Clean programme prompts a self-clean after every 50 washes to maintain hygiene inside the machine.
