Thanks for your comment. I know what you mean, you have to watch out for crafty marketing and I’m always on guard for it myself too. The thing that is different about the Time Saver washing machine is that the user is able to decide the time, whereas although other washing machines have quick wash options the time for these are set by the manufacturer and only available for certain washes.

What I called for in my original article was the ability to consciously decide to wash quicker on a main wash even if it meant the wash wasn’t necessarily an “A” performance wash because either you simply didn’t have time to wait or because you knew the quicker wash would be perfectly adequate. If I hadn’t called for it only a week or so before discovering Electrolux had done it I would have thought they’d stolen the idea from me

Here’s the official Electrolux explanation of the Time saver function -

“Since the introduction of energy labels washing machine programmes have been extended to achieve the highest ‘A’ grade wash performance. Sometimes this long programme time is not necessary as generally the clothes we wash these days are not very dirty. There are a number of ways the customer can shorten their wash times and still get a good wash result.

Most machines have a quick wash programme and this is generally a 30 minute programme at 30 degrees and has really been designed for smaller, lightly soiled loads. However, a more effective approach is available on machines with a quick or time saver option. This facility reduces programme times by up to 50% and gives the consumer the flexibility to use different temperatures for different fabric types and levels of soiling

The most flexible timesaver available an option for consumers to control their own program time, so making their wash time fit with their life rather than their life fit with the wash time. All of the models in the new Electrolux Time Manager washing machine range, both free standing and built in, provide the customer with the flexibility of being able to select their preferred program time. This means the consumer can wash a cotton load in as little as 45 minutes and synthetics in an amazing 20 minutes! This really puts consumers in control of their laundry time.”
