For those who want a luxurious laundry experience
At Tumbly, we offer more than just a laundry service. We provide a touch of everyday luxury: your clothes come back fresh-smelling, perfectly folded, and ready to wear – without you having to do a thing. Even if you usually do laundry at home, there are a few things you should know about modern washing machines.
Why does laundry take longer with modern machines?
A new washing machine can take, for example, 3 hours and 15 minutes to wash 10 kg of laundry. Sure, there are quick programs available – like one that takes 1 hour and 30 minutes – but those often have limited capacity, typically 2–5 kg. For a typical family with children, doing about 20 kg of laundry per week, that means the machine runs for many hours – every week.
Longer wash times = lower energy consumption
There's actually a reason why modern machines are slower: they're designed to save water and electricity. Longer wash cycles result in better environmental performance, in line with the EU's energy labelling requirements.
- Uses less water per cycle
- Heats water more slowly
- Optimizes drum movement for more efficient cleaning
- Less ideal for busy people
Example: a family doing laundry 3–5 times a week
A family with two kids typically washes 6–8 kg per load, totaling 20–35 kg per week. That requires time, planning – and patience while the machine spins for hours.
