Progress in the 21st century is gaining momentum and gaining momentum! Literally every day, scientists and developers show the world the latest inventions in any area of life. But, now any of us are not too interested, we will talk about innovative technology - Fuzzy Logic in the washing machine.
The name, of course, is sonorous and mysterious. But what does it mean? And is it worth what it is estimated at? After all, the cost of such machines is prohibitively high. Let’s take a look at this issue together.
What is Fuzzy Logic in simple words and in fact
Translated from English, this expression literally means fuzzy logic. In general, the term is mathematical and it is used to program models of human behavior and thinking!
You yourself understand that such a scale of programming in a washing machine is simply impossible. Simply, the manufacturers really liked the term, and they decided to apply it to their innovation.
But, how does the claimed function of artificial intelligence work in washing machines?
In order to quickly explain the difference between a conventional machine program based on clear algorithms and Fuzzy Logic, it is enough to imagine the difference between cooking soup in a multicooker and on a regular stove. In the multicooker, the liquid will not evaporate, the gas will not go out accidentally and the hostess will not forget to salt in time, as this is done before she closes the multicooker lid. The rest is a matter of technology. She will cook, and fry, and turn off in time.
On the stove, however, the soup can await all sorts of surprises. And the hostess herself makes a decision to correct the situation, looking at what happened: adds, adds to the boiled water, adds spices if the taste is not saturated enough. That is, he makes a decision - according to a specific situation. Today, she added 1 liter of water, and tomorrow the same liter was poured, because, he turned out to be superfluous.
See what an interesting thing? That is, a washing machine equipped with this function behaves like a refueling mistress. It controls the amount of water itself, based on the weight of the laundry, adjusts the amount of added detergent, increases or decreases the drum rotation speed ...
That is, if, in a conventional machine, you need to set the temperature, make a decision about the spin cycle and the amount of powder, then in this case you do not need to think. The washing machine logic will come up with everything for you!
And, instead of pressing multiple buttons, you only need to press one. This is where progress has come!

Are there any real benefits and disadvantages of this technology?
But progress is certainly a great and noble cause. But is Fuzzy Logic technology worth it, really? After all, in fact, what's the difference how many times you press the button?
If the problem is that it is difficult for you to make decisions about the presentation of programs, then - of course, buy! But if there is no problem with this, then what will this machine give?
The manufacturer guarantees the following benefits:
- Substantial water savings
- Energy saving
- Reduced consumption of detergents
It seems tempting. But is it really so? After all, no one forces you to put an increased rate of powder initially, right? And, the saving of water and light is not so great as to cover the price of such equipment with your profit.
And, by the way, these machines have a couple of fat cons:
- If the “intelligence” breaks down, fixing the board will fly into such a pretty penny that it won’t seem enough. And the more complex the program, the more vulnerable and short-lived it is.
- Inability to schedule time. If in an ordinary machine you know for sure that the wash will end in exactly 30 minutes, you hang out the laundry and go on business, then this number will not work with this machine. She regulates the process herself, not at all worrying about your plans. You counted on half an hour, and she washes an hour, for example, because she decided that half an hour would not be enough for this type of pollution.
In general, think for yourself, decide for yourself whether to have a second mistress in the house or not. But we, as economical, harmful and fair people, consider the situation not in favor of marketers, but in favor of the ordinary consumer, and, moreover, of average income.
In which cars this function is not, but the name is?
I don’t think that we will surprise you very much if we say that this sonorous name is also loved by those who did not even think of embedding such logic in their technology. And this is not a hoax. In the modern world this is called a marketing ploy.
Therefore, first of all, pay attention to the listed functionality of the machine. If she does not "know" how to weigh the laundry, determine the type of fabric and the temperature of the water, then this is the same artificial intelligence as Poplavsky is a singer.
We can state unequivocally that, in inexpensive machines, there is no such logic and cannot be, even if it is written that it is there.
Top 5 Fuzzy Logic Washers
The list is arranged in descending order of popularity and frequency of purchases.
Samsung Wf -1802-XEC
A machine with a load of 8 kg, which, in addition to artificial intelligence, has a couple of attractive features. For example, the control of foaming and the ability to refresh the laundry, giving it a fresh smell, without resorting to washing with water. The price is about 13,000 hryvnia.
LG F– 1281-TD
Load 8 kg, in addition to Fuzzy Logic, it has 13 more programs, one of which is quite interesting - this is the silent wash mode. The price is about 10 600 hryvnia.
Electrolux Ewt -1366-HDW
Load 6 kg, vertical load. Equipped with built-in leakage protection and 7 washing programs. The price is about - 16 500 hryvnia.
Bosch WLG -20265 – OE
5 kg load, narrow. Has protection against leaks and the ability to add a new portion of laundry during washing. The price is about 9,000 hryvnia.
Asko W -6884 –ECO W
Load 8 kg, has 12 programs, the function of automatic weighing and acceleration of revolutions during the spin cycle reaches 1800v minute. The price is about 37,300 hryvnia.
As you can see, only one model indicates, in addition to the name, the corresponding functionality. And such a washing machine costs much more than other machines. So, whether there is Fuzzi Logic in the washing machine or not, you yourself can clearly see for yourself.
