Siemens i-Dos is the first machine with integrated precision dosing system. Behind this innovative design is the idea to automatically dispense exact doses of detergent in order to save earth dwindling water resources, time and energy. The vast majority of consumers dispense much larger than necessary amounts of detergent, increasing foaming which in turn leads to additional wash cycles, causing washers to use exponentially larger amounts of water and cause environmental harm. The i-Dos automatically dispenses the exact amount of detergent needed for each wash. Siemens.

Here are two washing machines from the company you most certainly have never heard before. There are only a few technical points to discuss about these Turkish designed washers, but the finishes look quite nice and I really like the names, Aramides and Lissotis.

Aramides comes with a matte stainless steel frame around the dark viewing window creating an aesthetically pleasant appearance. Control panel is quite user-friendly and an illuminated LCD operator panel will keep you informed about the ongoing program status and other washing related functions. The large 33cm front opening permits comfortable loading of the washing drum. The optimised twin jet technology makes Aramides very efficient. In fact, the washing machine is rated 'A+++' for energy consumption. It also has a 12-minute high-speed wash cycle which helps when you are in a rush.

Miele LiquidWash cuts detergent use by up to 30%. Today we are increasingly turning to liquid detergents, not least because liquids do not form clumps as powders do in damp environments. Liquid detergent, though, does have a tendency to spill, run down the packaging, soil hands and leave unsightly marks on worktops. Miele W 1949 WPS LiquidWash belongs to the line of eco friendly washing machines with the automatic dispensing, offering a clean, efficient and extremely convenient solution while minimizing our impact on environment. The W 1949 WPS LiquidWash features a dispenser pump connected via a hose to an external supply tank. Automatic liquid dispensing is fully automatic, extremely reliable and also unbeatably simple to use. Automatic dispensing is simply selected from the controls and the user is prompted to select a degree of soiling between Light and Very Heavy. Detergent is dispensed accordingly.
