Night program in the washing machine

Bosch washing machine night programEvery year, household appliances become more convenient and economical - due to expanded functionality and improved technology. A striking example would be the night mode in a washing machine. It allows you to use two-tariff meters and start washing while you sleep. You just need to know how the program works and how it is configured. All features and nuances of activation are below.

Features of the night program

The key advantage of the night wash program is its quietness. When this mode is activated, the washing machine operates as quietly as possible: the drum rotates smoothly, and the spin speed is reduced to a minimum of 600-800. The sound of the cycle is also automatically turned off.

The remaining washing parameters can be adjusted manually:

  • temperature – up to 95 degrees;
  • washing time – from 60 minutes (depending on the degree of water heating);set it to 90 or 60 degrees
  • delayed start – up to 12-24 hours (depending on the machine model);
  • additional rinse is available.

When the “Night Wash” program is activated, the machine runs quieter.

It is worth understanding that even a washing machine equipped with a modern inverter motor will not be able to operate silently. Night washing is quieter due to the slow rotation of the drum and the disabled sound signals, but the hum from the motor, shaft and pump is still audible. If the machine is installed next to the bedroom, and the residents of the house are light sleepers, then it is better not to turn on the equipment at night. In other situations, the “lunar” program will become a convenient function.

Activating the night program

Starting night mode is simple. First of all, you need to activate the delay start so that the washing machine finishes the cycle in time for the owners to wake up.If you turn on the program before going to bed, then by 2-3 am the machine will finish washing, and the wet laundry will lie in the drum for the remaining 3-5 hours. Such a long “rest” is dangerous for the fabric - it becomes more wrinkled and acquires a musty smell.

To prevent laundry from sitting, you need to adjust the delayed start of the cycle as follows:

  • calculate the time so that the cycle is completed by morning;
  • find the wash delay indicator on the dashboard (in bold);turning on the night program
  • press the button a certain number of times;
  • check if the timer is set correctly.

The delayed start function allows you to delay the start of the cycle for 6-24 hours.

Next, all that remains is to set the night function. Select the appropriate position with the programmer and adjust the indicators: temperature and cycle duration. The speed cannot be increased - the maximum limit is 600-800 per minute. It is also possible to activate the pre-wash option easy ironing and an additional rinse.

On some machines, the algorithm for turning on the night program may differ. To avoid making mistakes with the settings, you must carefully study the factory instructions. It must contain a description of all modes and their activation.

The best washing machines with night modes

Almost every brand produces washing machines with night washing capabilities. As a rule, the implementation of this program on most machines is the same, but the overall power and functionality of the equipment are very different. To find the best washing machine, in addition to the sleep cycle, it is recommended to look at other parameters. A brief overview of the most popular models with a “quiet” mode will help in finding the optimal “assistant”.

Can wash in silent mode Beko WDB 7425 R2W.This is a frontal free-standing machine with a built-in dryer. During a cycle, the machine is capable of spinning up to 7 kg of laundry and drying about 4 kg. The model will also please:

  • delayed start for 24 hours;
  • choosing the end time of the cycle;
  • complete safety (protection against leaks, panel blocking, imbalance and foam level control);
  • additional loading of laundry (through the main hatch);
  • controlled from a smartphone.Beko WDB 7425 R2W

In addition to the night mode, the Beko WDB 7425 R2W has 14 more programs. These include delicate and prewash, as well as the rare Steam, Quick, Fluff, Anti-Wrinkle, Mixed and Shirts functions. Among the disadvantages, users note increased energy consumption (class B) and large dimensions of the equipment (case depth - 50 cm).

Bosch also has silent washing machines. Two models with night washing are in demand: WLG 20240 and WLP20265OE. The first is cheaper and is a free-standing “front-facing” unit weighing 5 kg. This is a narrow machine with a removable lid for installation and a digital display. Its main operational characteristics are as follows:

  • energy consumption class A;
  • spin – up to 1000 rpm;
  • protection against leaks - complete, plus manual blocking of the panel and automatic control of drum balancing;
  • programs - 15 (including economical, super-fast, sensitive, stain removal and soaking);
  • delayed start – up to 24 hours.

Among the advantages, users of the Bosch WLG 20240 note excellent value for money, a simple menu, the ability to reduce the washing time, noiselessness and a faster cycle of up to 15 minutes. Cons: non-separable tank and short hoses.

Also offers a night program Bosch WLP20265OE from the Serie 4 line. Another narrow front camera, but with a more capacious drum - up to 6.5 kg of laundry. This washing machine has the main “Bosch” functionality: electronic control, inverter engine, economical energy consumption, more than 10 modes and additional loading of laundry through the main hatch. There must be a delay start timer for a day and the equipment is fully protected from leaks, accidental pressing, imbalance and excessive foaming. At the same time, the maximum noise level during washing is 53 dB, and during spinning – up to 72 dB.Bosch WLP20265OE

Reviews about the Bosch WLP20265OE are mostly positive. Buyers note minimal vibration, nice design, compactness and relatively low cost. There are also disadvantages: an old-fashioned bright light on the display, a non-separable tank and a weak spin of 1000 rpm.

Among the vertical washing machines, the Weissgauff WM 40380 TD Inverter model will please you with its ability to do night washing. It is capable of washing up to 8 kg of laundry in one cycle, while energy consumption is minimal - the equipment is assigned the most highly efficient class A+++. The advantages of the machine also include:

  • complete protection against leaks;
  • built-in wash timer;
  • high-speed spin with a maximum of 1300 rpm;
  • 16 programs (in addition to the standard ones there are “Sports”, “Mixed fabrics” and “Children’s clothing”);
  • delayed start up to 24 hours.

Among the disadvantages, Weissgauff users note the inconvenient adjustment of the body legs. The key for tightening the housing is not included in the kit, and without alignment, the washing machine begins to “jump” and make noise. Problems with “parking” the drum have also been noticed - the tank sometimes stops with its flaps to the side or down.

There is also a night mode on the LG F-2V5HS0W, a freestanding front-loading machine. What attracts you first is its design: a stylish combination of a white body with a contrasting black hatch and display.The owner will also be pleased with the functionality of the equipment:

  • capacity up to 7 kg;
  • control from a smartphone;
  • support for smart home systems from Google Home, Amazon Alexa;
  • direct drive with inverter motor;
  • Class A electricity consumption;
  • spin acceleration up to 1200 rpm;
  • 14 programs (including steam and quick wash).

Positive reviews from LG note the build quality and the convenient option for loading new modes into the washing machine’s memory. Negative reviews mention problematic opening of the hatch and loud noise when drawing water.

The night program on the washing machine will save time and money - the machine will work while everyone is sleeping. The main thing is to adjust the start time of the cycle and remove things from the drum in the morning.
