So our designers and engineers work closely together through each stage of product development,
encouraging continuous improvement with
fresh ideas and new concepts.
that’s exactly how this washing machine was created. With its ingenious tilted drum for example,
we were able to build a compact an efficient washing machine that actually saves water.
