The reason the ECO program takes longer than standard cycles is due to its design to optimize energy usage. While it does take more time, the key advantage of the ECO program is that it uses lower temperatures and slower wash speeds, which helps to reduce electricity consumption.
Here’s how it works:
1.Lower Wash Temperatures: The ECO program typically operates at temperatures of around 30°C to 40°C, compared to the 60°C used in standard cycles. Heating water requires a lot of energy, so reducing the temperature helps save electricity.
2.Longer Cycle Time: In order to make up for the lower washing temperature, the ECO cycle uses longer washing times. This extended duration ensures that the detergent has enough time to break down dirt and stains effectively, even without the higher heat.
3.Slower Drum Speed:
