Drum -type washing and dryer connected to a smartphone, "Laundry, drying (crying)" on rainy days disappear?
On October 5, Sharp announced the drum-type plasma cluster washing and drying machine "ES-W111" in cooperation with the new AIOT cloud service "COCORO Wash".The release is November 29, and the price is open.The estimated market price is around 340,000 yen (excluding tax).I will tell you about the recital held on October 5.
The ES-W111 is the successor to the ES-P110, which was a full model change last year (2017) and won the Good Design Award for FY2018.This is a model that added AIOT function to the drum-type washing machine "ES-U111" released on September 20.Washing capacity is 11 kg and dried capacity is 6 kg, the largest in the sharp drum -type washing and dryer.With this ES-W111, more than 150 Sharp's AIOT devices that connect to the Internet are more than 10 categories.By 2020, Sharp says that half of the company's products want to be AIOT.
The door and operation panel on the front are gallery so that it shines in a stylish and beautiful salitary space.We developed not only basic laundry performance but also design, and newly adopted silver -based colors.
The main new features are support for the new AIOT cloud service "COCORO Wash" and the "drying filter automatic cleaning" function, which is the first in the industry (Sharp Research) to reduce the trouble of care.It continues to provide functions such as automatic cleaning of dried ducts realized by ES-U111, micro-pressure washing, hybrid drying, and plasma cluster, which are popular with conventional models.
AIOT service for washing machines "Cocoro Wash"
Cocoro Wash is a service that allows you to operate the washing machine in the optimal way for each user by utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) on the cloud.In order to use Wi-Fi to connect to the cloud, a Wi-Fi environment is required at home, and downloading the dedicated smartphone application "Cocoro Wash" is required.
When the ES-W111 is turned on, ES-W111 will inform you of today's weather in voice.If the weather cannot be dried in the sun due to rain, we will use the drying function to propose a driving method suitable for the weather on the day.
At the venue, Cocoro Wash was demonstrated, and the ES-W111 was informed of the weather, how to propose a washing course that suits the weather, and a smartphone notification when driving is over.
When the operation is completed, a notification will arrive on the smartphone, so if you are doing other things, the laundry will end and you will inadvertently leave it as it is and the clothes will not be wrinkled.
Sharp's drum -type washing and dryer is equipped with seven sensors: temperature, humidity, water level, weight, foam, light, and vibration.The humidity sensor is not used by other companies and is a feature of Sharp.You can check the dryness of the clothing with a humidity sensor and notify your smartphone, so you can check how long the drying will be completed while in the living room.Of course, you can see how long the washing will end.
The filter will be cleaned automatically
Another thing I want to pay attention to is "dried filter automatic cleaning" and "dried duct automatic cleaning".I think many people think of the air conditioner filter automatic cleaning, but it is generally a hit.
When drying drying, cotton bokori that accumulates in the dried filter must basically remove the washing and dryer of any manufacturer by hand.In ES-W111, you can automatically throw the dust of the dried filter into the dust box, so if the dust box is full, you can throw away trash.The filter itself can keep a beautiful state without cleaning users.
Dry duct automatic cleaning is a function mounted from ES-U111 and ES-G111 released in September 2018.Rinse dirt such as lint and detergent scum accumulated in the dry duct with water for water supply.It is washed every time water supply and easier to pass the warm air during drying, preventing drying performance.
