It's no secret that most of our editorial office is made up of bachelors who are approaching the age of 30.
Of course, it's not so miserable, there are also one or two who are married, such as the queen voice actor Dandan, who is not only married, but also became a daddy early.
Recently, I found that the needs of people with babies and those without babies are indeed different.
Two days ago, Dandan came to my station to look for me when he was fishing, and he said for a long time that he wanted me to help watch a machine.
He wants to buy a washing machine for their children's laundry!
I'm going to cry when I hear that.
In the past, he used children as shields and arranged new toys for himself, like PS5, RTX4090, Xiaomi SU7, etc., and said confidently that geeks should start with dolls.
I didn't expect to find out with my conscience this time, and finally remembered to buy a special home appliance for the baby.
But this time, he is not interested in a wave wheel washing machine or a drum washing machine, but a new form of washing machine called a wall-mounted washing machine.
It is said that it is a new form of washing machine, but in fact, this thing has been popular for several years, and there has been a lot of controversy.
The advantages of small footprint and stylish appearance have attracted a lot of attention.
But there are still people who are skeptical about it, including me - can this thing wash the clothes after all?
Although this kind of question sounds like asking if the refrigerator can keep it fresh, it is actually not unreasonable.
In terms of shape, the wall-mounted washing machine is a miniature version of the drum washing machine.
Both are to let the clothes sway together in the drum, you rub me, I rub you, and finally rub off all the dirt.
It is not difficult to see from the washing principle that the size of the drum directly determines the amplitude of the swaying and rolling of the clothes, and the rough understanding is that the larger the drum, the more the clothes are flipped in it, and the cleaner the washing.
In this regard, the small size of the wall-mounted washing machine is actually not an advantage.
Take the Xiaoji wall-mounted washing machine that Dandan's eyes on this time as an example, from the introduction, its size is only 467*280*545mm.
Not only is there a limited throwing path inside, but the clothes may not be able to be unfolded and happily "rubbed" inside, and there is no guarantee that the clothes will not all be piled together after washing, and only one or two pieces will be washed after washing.
As a result, Dandan's sentence came: Is it possible that I just want it to be small and not take up space... As for whether it is clean or not, why don't you help me get one and test it first?
The baby finally has the opportunity to really own her own electrical appliances, and we can't refuse.
So I contacted this manufacturer called Xiaoji to see if they could give us a machine to actually test and see how this small wall-mounted washing machine performs.
I didn't expect Xiao Ji to be quite generous over there, and directly sent us a hit of theirs, Xiao Ji Wall Mounted Washing Machine V7 Pro.
Before the test, we also asked Xiao Ji who provided the machine to know how they solved the limitation of the drum volume on the cleaning capacity.
The plan given by Xiao Ji is to arrange more subdivided procedures for this washing machine, including baby care, underwear washing, etc., for clothes of different materials and different stains, to give different cleaning time and cleaning temperature.
This also takes into account that different types of clothes have different washability, and after subdivision, you can wash as thoroughly and durably as possible without damaging the clothes, so that you can wash more cleanly.
In addition, the conditions required to clean different stains are also different, such as protein stains, which are not suitable for boiling and washing at high temperatures, and the protein will denature and solidify when the temperature is high, which is more difficult to clean.
As far as I can count, this wall-mounted washing machine offers more than 40 modes, and it can handle more types of clothes and stains than many large washing machines.
In addition to this, they have also developed a baby soft laundry detergent.
According to the introduction on a treasure that we found later, this bottle of small things contains a variety of complex enzymes, specifically for all kinds of common baby stains.
The actual wash out effect is not bad, with the baby care mode, we are coated with puree food baby bib after washing and new is no different.

Even the bibs that we have specially handled, stained with a mixture of milk powder and egg mixture, can be washed clean.

I tested it with biuret reagent, and I basically couldn't see any purple reactants, indicating that there was basically no protein residue, which was much stronger than what I washed out by hand. . .
Looks like I'm really underestimating it.
We checked the inner cylinder and glass lid of the machine after each cleaning, and found no foam residue, indicating that the rinsing ability of Xiaoji's wall-mounted washing machine is indeed online.
The inner wall of the drum after washing
I was pleasantly surprised by that.
Again, the small size means that the amount of water intake is less, and without enough water, it is more difficult to rinse the detergent clean.
Xiaoji's people said that they have made a combination of punches for this problem: [hypoallergenic] program + waterfall spray technology + antibacterial process plus Teflon coated door seal.
The so-called hypoallergenic program is not difficult to understand, to put it bluntly, since the amount of water entering each rinse is not much, and the rinse is not clean, then rinse it several times.
In addition, this washing machine can automatically dispense laundry detergent, and in hypoallergenic mode, the ratio of detergent to water will be more precisely controlled.
It's not like adding too much detergent if you accidentally put it in, and you end up not getting it clean.
The appearance of this waterfall spray technique here is also a bit interesting.
This technology literally means that when rinsing, the water is sprayed out of the top or side spout of the drum, and the remaining foam on the door seal and glass door is also washed away, so that the laundry can be washed again.

But putting a waterfall in the washing machine is not like putting an elephant in the refrigerator, which only takes three steps, but involves the coordination of the entire sprinkler system, including nozzles, pipes, valves, drives, and so on.
It's not difficult to make on a regular front-loading washing machine, but it's a test of skill to cram this whole set into a wall-mounted washing machine with a small space.
Xiao Ji really made it, and the rinsing effect achieved was also very good.
We also actually tested it, and we can see from the results that after cleaning the Xiaoji wall-mounted washing machine, there is basically no weakly acidic detergent in the baby's bib, and the pH value of the soaking liquid is very close to pure water.
Not only is this better than hand washing, but it even surpasses ordinary front-loading washing machines, which are supposed to have a higher rinse capacity.
And we found that Xiaoji's hypoallergenic mode can also manually select the number of rinses, and you can change the number of rinses from 3 to 5 times in the APP, so that there will be less detergent residue.
Looking at it this way, this kind of small wall-mounted washing machine is indeed okay, at least this Xiaoji wall-mounted washing machine V7 Pro is a little something.
Just when I was about to say to Dandan, why don't you buy this, he mentioned it again - do you want to test the drying function?
I did this and tested it, and found that a large piece like a t-shirt would make sure every part was dry.
Before drying VS after drying
Some special clothes will also have special treatment when drying, such as the washing and drying algorithm for towels, which is used to solve the problem that towels are easy to stick to the cylinder wall in the dehydration stage, resulting in impermeability.
After actual testing, even if you wash three towels at the same time, it can cope with it, and there is no sticking to the wall and baking impermeability.
The only uncomfortable point is that the drying time will be longer, which is actually a common limitation of this type of washer-dryer that uses condensing drying.
Condensation drying will first heat the air and then send it into the drum, where the hot air will bring the moisture from the clothes into the condensing system, and the moisture will be condensed into water and discharged, and the dry air will be heated again and sent back to the drum to continue circulation.
This process involves multiple steps such as heat transfer, evaporation of moisture, condensation, etc., each of which takes a certain amount of time to complete, so it is not surprising that the overall drying time is relatively long.
I don't think it's a big deal, after all, most washer-dryers use a condensing type.
But even if it takes two and a half hours to dry a hand-wrung towel, it only takes 0.42 kilowatt-hours of electricity to dry a hand-wrung towel.
Even two rounds of infant care, one standard mode and one silent mode, plus a two-and-a-half-hour low-temperature drying and one ordinary drying took only 0.78 kilowatt-hours of electricity after so many rounds of testing.
To be honest, such a good-looking and non-frivolous wall-mounted washing machine is actually quite rare.
I always felt a bit wasted just for the children of Dandan's family, so I "accidentally" moved the one used by the company's evaluation back to my home.
As a result, after contacting the master to install it in my house, I found that my bathroom did not reserve the water supply and water pipes in advance.
After the machine was installed, a sewer pipe was exposed on the wall, which still affected the appearance a little.
Xiao Ji also took this problem into account and gave a white occlusion tube, saving him obsessive-compulsive disorder and then matching it himself.
But if you really want to hide it perfectly, it is recommended to reserve a good place on the wall for decoration and make the sewer pipe embedded.
After using Xiaoji's washing machine for a while, I found that this thing is a perfect match for my schedule.
I usually come home late from work, and one of the painful problems I have to face when I get home every day is to wash my clothes - now the disinfection and antibacterial effect of the washing machine is very good, but I still get used to washing ordinary clothes and underwear separately.
In this way, you have to wash twice, either stay up late to finish washing, or you have to endure the noise of the big washing machine when you go to sleep.
With this wall-mounted washing machine from Koji, the situation is much better, because it runs much quieter than a regular washing machine, and it is completely possible to throw clothes inside to wash and go straight to sleep.
I tested it and it was basically less than 50 decibels, except for the occasional sound of water running when rinsing, I couldn't hear anything else.
In addition to the quiet washing, some special features such as 24h antibacterial hosting are also very lazy and friendly.
This 24-hour antibacterial hosting function was discovered by our colleague by chance during the test - the second time I tested the drying function, I was too tired to go home and sleep in the middle of the test, and forgot to take out the clothes.
But I didn't expect Xiaoji to automatically enter the 24-hour antibacterial hosting mode after the drying was over.
I took it out and put it on again the next day, and there was no damp and smelly smell on my clothes.
Another function is UVC sterilization during the cleaning phase.
In fact, it is the use of ultraviolet irradiation of a specific wavelength to destroy the genetic material of various bacteria, so that the bacteria die quickly and achieve an efficient sterilization effect.
When washing some delicate clothes such as silk and wool that are not resistant to high temperatures, you can use UVC sterilization instead of high-temperature boiling and sterilization.
This can not only protect the clothes, but also sterilize, virus, ringworm, mites, allergens, mildew and so on.
I really didn't expect that a washing machine that was originally for the maternal and infant market, but I was so comfortable for a single man.
Xiao Ji's people also told us that this situation is not unique.
Although the original design of this wall-mounted washing machine is to facilitate the life of mothers with babies, many single consumers who live alone have chosen it after the product was launched.
After half a month of experience, my biggest feeling is that the domestic washing machine has not only reached a very good level of technology, but also can work application scenarios and customers while rolling technology.
Know how to actively explore the consistency of demand between different user groups, and use the same advantage of the same product as much as possible to impress more different types of consumers.
It can be regarded as rolling up a new height in different dimensions.
