The new range of Videocon washing machines is definitely easy on the back. The Videocon Front Loading Washing Machine “Careen Plus” has more to offer compared to other washing machines I have a bad back and switched to this machine only because of its ergonomic design - the inside drum is at an angle to facilitate easy loading and removal of clothes.
If I remember right, the dealer mentioned that this technology also uses water and detergent more effectively or in other words, there is less wastage of the same.The official website says the machine is ’India’s first washing machine with tilt drum and direct drive technology’. I have been using it for a month now and it runs smoothly, makes much lesser noise than my old washing machine.
I dug out my brochure and this is what it says ‘Unlike conventional washing machines, Direct Drive Technology is directly attached to the drum’ eliminating the belt and pulley– this reduces wear and tear and the machine ends up using much less power and yup, I know for a fact it definitely has less vibration! Will know about lesser power when I get my power bill.
