New GE Fuzzy Logic Front-Loading Washing Machine Cares for Wash "INTELLI - GENTLY"

Hong Kong - April 23rd, 2001 - People are particular about how their laundry is done - and GE answers their demands with a new, remarkably versatile fuzzy logic front-loading washer.

"We are excited about this new member of the GE appliances family," said Mohamed D. Butt, General Manager for Marketing at GE Appliances Asia. "It is tough on stains, gentle to cloths and uses a lot less water and electricity than the traditional washers. It is intelligent."

How does this washer perform so well? The secret is Fuzzy Logic. Fuzzy Logic is a system that senses the weight of load and water temperature to determine the best water level, wash time and method for each laundry. The result is a wash and spin program that is the best for that load of laundry, with the least resources used. With the special tumbling action, clothes are cleaned gently and thoroughly, with less wear and tear.

Other exciting features include:

  • Choice of automatic or manual washing programs
  • Electronic control and display
  • Stainless steel washing drum
  • Informative LCD display
  • Quiet motor and better suspension system
  • Delay start programming

This new series of Fuzzy Logic washers consists of 4 models, ranging from spinning speed of 500 rpm up to 1200 rpm.
