Yunmi EyeBot Internet washing and drying machine: intelligent washing and drying with large capacity and new air speed to remove odors

Driven by industrial technology, washing machines have become a standard appliance in homes many years ago. If we trace the origin, the world's first washing machine was born in 1858, and then in 1910, the American Fisher developed the first electric washing machine. Nowadays, as washing machines gradually become more popular, they have also experienced qualitative improvements in terms of function and experience. For example, by improving the structure to achieve fresh air drying and odor removal functions, or realizing an intelligent experience in the context of the Internet of Things.

While I was looking for a new house recently, I was lucky enough to receive a Yunmi EyeBot Internet washing and drying all-in-one machine through the gold evaluation. As a user with a technology label, almost all the live objects in my home are smart products. Especially after installing the Mijia smart home system, I became even more immersed in it. Today I will share with you the experience of this washing and drying machine. My thoughts and its importance in intelligent linkage throughout the house.

丨Unpacking

This washing machine uses a traditional corrugated box. The packaging method of large household appliances is more convenient for unpacking. Cut off the tie and lift the box away. Just fine. When I received the product, the box was slightly damaged, but the box was filled with thick plastic foam and the product was unscathed.

The content on the front and back of the box is basically the same, with Yunmi’s logo and product name printed on it, and the words “front” and “back” respectively, so you should be careful when handling.

The side of the box is printed with the Yunmi Mall APP QR code and manufacturer information.

There is a self-adhesive nameplate affixed to the upper side of the washing machine, which is marked with the serial number, model, color and other parameters of the washing machine, as well as manufacturer information, so that you can have an overview of the product before unpacking it. Understand, the one I chose is the EyeBot Face new wind speed drying 11Kg cloud blue color.

The packaging is filled with thick plastic foam, and a transparent plastic bag is placed on the outside of the fuselage. At the same time, a protective film is affixed to the bright surfaces such as the screen and drum cover in front of the fuselage to avoid transportation. and friction damage during installation.

In addition to the washing machine, the packaging box also comes with a water supply pipe, four plastic plugs, a two-in-one wrench and a user guide.

丨Product Design

Based on my understanding of Yunmi products, the EyeBot series is positioned as a high-end product line. For example, the range hood that sells for more than 10,000 yuan still impresses me. profound. Yunmi has also put a lot of effort into polishing the washing machines of the same series, and gave its color matching a very poetic name, called Yunmo Blue. Visually, it looks like the color of writing written in dark blue ink, close to black-blue, calm and restrained.

The overall body of the washing machine is dominated by a tough shape, supplemented by a few arc line transitions, which is simple and yet has a high-end feel. Since the capacity of the drum has reached 11Kg, the body size has also increased. The measurements are 595*660*850mm and the net weight is 68Kg. After unpacking it, it took a long time to put it in the living room for shooting and moving. However, after installation, it will not Need to move.

Different parts of the fuselage are made of different materials, but the details of the craftsmanship are relatively solid. In addition to the necessary elements on the front, we try to remove other complicated embellishments and maintain an orderly design. As the most commonly seen and interactive part after installation, it can still be well integrated with mainstream home decoration styles, such as matching with gray bathroom wall tiles without any sense of violation.

The upper part of the front integrates the laundry detergent box, display and interactive area, and the outside is covered with a glossy black panel, conveying a sense of sophistication through design consistency. Considering that the interactive area needs to be easy to operate, the entire cover part is designed with a certain tilt angle, and appropriate edge processing is done on the lower edge.

On the left side is the laundry detergent and softener adding tank. The cover is marked with the product model number. Press it inward with a little force to pop it open. After pushing it in, press it again to close and lock it.

Softener and laundry detergent have separate inlets and separate covers to prevent liquid from overflowing.

The right side is the display and interaction area, but in fact the interaction area only occupies the middle area. The three functional features of the product are marked on the far right. The power button lights up after power is turned on, and the entire display area lights up after a long press to turn it on. Various mode functions are displayed with colored icons, and all are operated by touch.

The drum cover adopts a translucent design, and is covered with a black plastic cover that is slightly convex to the outside. The inside of the drum can be vaguely seen through the cover. There is an electroplated Yunmi logo in the middle of the cover, and a circle of silver edges is inlaid around it, which plays a slight decorative role.

The cover opens from right to left. There is an area for pulling in the middle of the right side. The opening and closing angle is about 170 degrees. There is also a raised irregular transparent part inside the cover, which mainly serves to squeeze clothes into the drum. At the same time, the edge fits the rubber ring around the drum to ensure sealing. The right position is buckled fixed.

The drum part is made of 304 stainless steel, and is designed with some protruding small dots and rubber components on the surface. Its main function is to increase the friction between the drum and the clothes when it rotates.

It is worth mentioning that there are two self-adhesive labels affixed to the upper right corner of the front of the fuselage. They are the Yunmi Whole House Internet Appliances Label and the China Energy Efficiency Label. This washing machine belongs to Level 1 Energy efficiency standard, cleaning ratio is 1.05.

There is a decorative cover corresponding to the lower right corner. When opened, there is a built-in drainage pump. Once the washing machine fails and cannot drain water normally, the water in the drum can be drained through the emergency drain here.

The top design is also very regular, with a raised edge around it, and the recessed part in the middle has a frosted texture and has a relatively large damping. You can put some things on it every day, such as a dirty clothes basket.

The left and right sides of the fuselage have a symmetrical design, wrapped by a complete metal cover with some concave and convex pattern decorations in the middle. There is an anti-scratch plastic film from the sides to the back. It is recommended to tear it off after installation and before use.

There are many modules distributed on the back of the fuselage, but after installation, they are placed against the wall and will not be seen in daily life. The cover on the back has a concave and convex shape based on the shape of the internal components of the fuselage. The black funnel in the upper right corner is the drying air outlet. Looking down from the top, there is an air outlet grille; the white round hole next to it is the water inlet pipe interface. .

The power cord extends from the upper left corner of the back, using a national standard three-pin plug, with a length of about 1.5 meters; there is a self-adhesive nameplate near the middle, marking the technical parameters and manufacturer of this washing machine. information, serial number encoding, and circuit diagrams.

The drainage pipe extends outward from the lower left corner of the back of the fuselage, is guided upward by two pipe clamps, and then hangs down to the right side. It is an upper drainage design. The pipe clamp on the right can be removed and the direction can be adjusted if the drainage pipe in your home is on the other side.

Generally speaking, Yunmi’s washing and drying all-in-one machine is basically the same as the mainstream washing machine in terms of shape and structure, but it has injected its own inspiration into some detailed designs, making the EyeBot series the main focus of simplicity and simplicity. The integration of smart and futuristic elements, coupled with excellent craftsmanship details, greatly improves the quality of the product itself.

丨Installation experience

In my impression, Yunmi’s products can be installed at your home through an after-sales appointment. However, the washing machine is relatively simple, so my father decided to do it himself. Let’s talk about the installation experience first. Carefully study the installation instructions in the manual before starting work. It is not complicated to follow the steps. Usually the washing machine is installed in the bathroom or balcony. Due to the size of the apartment, my living room does not have a balcony, and the balcony of the master bedroom does not have water supply, so I can only plan it in the bathroom.

Before installation, you need to remove the four transport bolts on the back of the fuselage, unscrew them with the included wrench, and then fasten the hole plugs. If it needs to be re-transported, be sure to reinstall the bolts before transporting to prevent damage to the interior of the fuselage.

After that, move the washing machine to the location where it needs to be installed. Make sure that there are up and down water pipes nearby, which are usually reserved when doing water and electricity.

The included water inlet pipe has an elbow at one end and a straight end at the other end. Connect the elbow end to the water inlet on the back of the fuselage and just tighten the nut. It is equipped with a rubber pad at the factory and usually will not leak after being tightened.

One end of the straight head is connected to the bathroom faucet. I installed a 4-piece external thread faucet here, and an elbow was added to keep the water pipe parallel to the wall.

The installation height of the drainage pipe is required to be between 0.85m-1.25m. The back of the fuselage has been guided upward through the pipe clamp, and can be adjusted to the position of the drainage pipe in the room. The end of the drain pipe cannot be immersed in water. If the drain pipe is too long, you can cut a part of it yourself.

After connecting, move the washing machine slightly to the appropriate position, and then check whether the body is placed smoothly. If it is not stable, use the included wrench to adjust the support feet at the four corners of the bottom of the fuselage to ensure that the fuselage is placed smoothly. After installation, turn on the power and enter the cleaning mode to test whether it can be used normally and can be used to fill and drain water.

Because the bathroom is relatively narrow, after installation, the cover of the washing machine conflicts with the toilet and can only be opened to about 90 degrees, but it does not affect normal access to clothes.

丨Using experience

After powering on, the Zhencai touch interface in the interactive area automatically lights up, accompanied by animation and color display. The advantages of touch interaction are obvious. On the one hand, it replaces traditional buttons and avoids mechanical problems caused by long-term use of buttons; on the other hand, the backlight is bright, which does not affect use even in dark environments; thirdly, Turning on the child lock can prevent children from misoperation.

The UI of Yunmi’s Zhencai touch interface is not bad in terms of aesthetics, but the colorful icon design is somewhat unsatisfactory, and several of them look somewhat similar to the skill icons in the game. However, the entrances to each function are clearly distributed and divided according to functional categories and usage habits. The proportion of digital fonts is relatively large, so even elderly users can see clearly.

The preset washing modes of the system are very rich. The UI of the machine includes golden washing, sterilizing washing, super fast washing, cotton fabrics, and also includes golden drying, washing and drying, rinsing, Commonly used functions and combination functions such as single dehydration and tub washing, each mode provides different programs, time, water temperature, rotation speed, etc. For detailed information, please refer to the manual. In addition, the mobile APP also supports unlocking more usage modes, which will be discussed in detail later.

Before washing, you need to add laundry detergent box softener to the laundry detergent box. The amount added should not exceed MAX. After adding, the washing machine will intelligently put the appropriate amount of detergent into the drum according to the washing program and the amount of clothes in the drum. There is no need to manually control the amount of detergent to avoid waste or excess. The capacity of the laundry box is 1800ml. It can be used for about a month after adding it once. If the remaining amount is insufficient, the orange indicator light will light up to remind you.

The drum of this washing machine has a capacity of 11Kg, which is larger than the mainstream 8Kg and 10Kg machines on the market, so it can naturally hold more clothes. Basically, a family's clothes in spring, summer, and autumn can be thrown in at once. During the year-end cleaning, you can also wash some larger curtains, quilt covers, etc. In short, the capacity of a washing machine is like the area of ??a house, the bigger the better.

It is also worth mentioning that if you find any missed clothes during the washing process, you can press the pause button. If the water level and temperature in the drum meet the conditions for opening the door, the cover lock will open automatically. After adding the clothes, close the cover and click the start button again, and the washing machine will continue to run. If the door opening adjustment is not met, the cover cannot be opened to add clothes.

You can generally use the golden wash mode for daily use. It is suitable for cleaning moderately soiled cotton, linen, chemical fiber, and blended fabrics. The default washing time is 50 minutes, water temperature is about 40 degrees, and rinses twice. In the single cleaning mode, drying is not provided by default. If you need deodorization and drying functions, you need to manually check them.

First test in a single wash state. Throw in three pieces of recently worn clothes. They are basically light-colored. There are some stains on the surface of the clothes from work. The collar and cuffs are often stained. The sweat is a little yellow.

Start the golden wash mode to start cleaning. The drum part rotates and a water column sprays. It can also rinse away the residual laundry detergent foam on the inside of the drum cover to avoid secondary pollution.

Take out the clothes after washing. They will no longer drip after dehydration. Check that the stained areas are very clean before cleaning, and the sweat stains on the collar and cuffs are also gone.

During the experience, I also did a more extreme test. I found a T-shirt that I was not going to wear, poured soy sauce on it, and after the soy sauce completely penetrated into the fibers of the clothes, I threw it into the washing machine bucket. . Turn on the washing and drying mode, take it out for comparison after washing and drying. The stains on the soy sauce part are completely gone, which shows that the washing ability is very good.

For children or people with sensitive skin, it is recommended to use the sterilizing washing mode, which can decompose allergens and bacteria attached to clothes through long-term washing at higher temperatures. According to the official According to the data, the removal rates of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli both reached 99.99. The default time of sterilization washing mode is 112 minutes and the water temperature is 60 degrees. In addition, this mode is also suitable for cleaning some plush toys, bedding, etc.

If you have a small amount of clothes that need to be washed immediately, you can also choose the ultra-fast washing mode, which only takes 15 minutes to complete the washing, which is much faster than the previous two modes. It is more suitable for emergencies or business people who require that the clothes should not be too dirty, otherwise the cleaning effect will be compromised.

After so many years of iterative updates, washing machine products have become very complete in terms of functionality. Yunmi EyeBot Internet washing and drying all-in-one machine focuses its optimization on drying, trying to solve the previous problems of too long drying time, accumulation of clothes, bacteria and odors, and incomplete odor removal.

Yunmi has created a set of black technology patents through its own team’s continuous experimental testing and comparison and adjustment of product parameters. By optimizing the air duct structure inside the fuselage and opening up the air intake and ventilation inside and outside the fuselage, the inside of the fuselage is no longer airtight and airtight, and the air flow is accelerated. Its advantage is that on the one hand, it increases the drying speed, and on the other hand, it avoids the generation of odor in the drum through fresh air ventilation.

From the working principle, first, the motor is used to control the air guide plate and the air intake box damper respectively to open up the external air duct and ensure that the external wind enters the fuselage smoothly. During the drying operation, the impeller rotates at a high speed of 4,600 rpm. The air volume and pressure in the air duct system are greatly increased, and the clothes in the drum are quickly dried. The active condensation exhaust system then moderately cools the hot and humid air and lowers the temperature of the air outlet. According to official data, the drying time is shortened by about 50%.

In addition, AI can also intelligently adjust the air volume during the entire drying process. When drying starts, the resistance of air passing through wet clothes is relatively large, and the air volume is automatically adjusted to the maximum; when the air volume stabilizes midway, the air volume is automatically reduced to save energy; when drying is about to end, the air volume is automatically increased to quickly cool down the clothes. , to prevent the temperature from being too high when opening the lid and taking it out.

This washing machine has a preset golden drying mode, which can be used for single drying. In addition to manually selecting the drying time, you can also start smart drying, which uses a sensor to sense the moisture content of the clothes in the drum, automatically adjusts the drying air volume, and automatically stops when the clothes are dry to avoid over-drying or incomplete drying of clothes. Damage to the stem.

Put the clothes that have just been washed but not dried back into the tub, turn on the golden drying mode, and select smart drying. It takes about 1 hour and 3 minutes to dry three freshly washed summer clothes, which is quite an ideal speed. Compared with other washing and drying machines that my parents used before, the speed is increased by about 50%. After taking out the clothes, they are very dry and have no smell, so you can wear them directly.

After drying, use a temperature gun to test the temperature at different locations on the fuselage. Among them, the top of the fuselage is 40.7 degrees, the drum cover is 41.6 degrees, the sides of the fuselage are 35.4 degrees, and the inside of the drum is 59.4 degrees.

For daily use, it is recommended to wash and dry at the same time. For example, the washing and drying mode is a combination mode of golden washing and low-temperature drying. After washing is completed, it automatically enters the drying process. In addition, you can also manually check the drying function in sterilizing washing, ultra-fast washing and other modes.

Throw in the two curtains that were replaced from the old house, and the 11Kg capacity is completely out of reach. Turn on the washing and drying mode, and the total time from the beginning of washing to the end of drying is about 1 hour and 35 minutes. During this period, a power tester was used to test the power consumption. One wash consumes approximately 1.2 kilowatt hours of electricity.

If you encounter some clothes that cannot be washed, the innovative air washing mode is the best choice. The so-called air washing means that water is not injected into the drum and relies on 60-degree circulating hot air to penetrate into the fibers of the clothes and remove odors and floating dust from the clothes. For example, it is very suitable to wash down jackets and woolen coats in winter to remove all odors from the clothes and reduce the number of times they have to be taken out for dry cleaning.

My elder brother loves to smoke, and his clothes are always stained with the smell of cigarette smoke. Throw a piece of clothing he wears into the drum and turn on the air wash. When I took it out after washing, I could clearly feel that there was no cigarette smell anymore, and my sister-in-law stopped complaining. According to a test report provided by the China Household Electrical Appliances Research Institute, the intensity of Yunmi's washing and drying machine in removing smoke and hot pot odors can reach about 3.08, which means that basically all odors that can be easily smelled can be removed.

The above-mentioned rich functions and function combinations enable this washing machine to easily cope with a richer use scenario. For most families, it can fully meet the daily cleaning and drying needs, and it has a large capacity and The performance in terms of washing cleanliness is also very reassuring.

丨Intelligent Control

In terms of intelligent functions, Yunmi has started its layout very early, and even proposed the concept of "whole-house Internet appliances". This EyeBot Internet washing and drying all-in-one machine supports joining its own Yunmi Mall APP to realize remote control, equipment information viewing and other functions through the mobile phone.

Pairing the device with the mobile APP is relatively simple, just follow the step-by-step wizard, which is visually displayed through the GIF above.

Entering the device management interface, the UI design tends to be simple, and the color scheme is also Yunmi VI color. Most of the upper part marks the current working status of the device in the form of a washing machine icon; the lower part of the operating area is arranged with various working modes of the washing machine. In addition to the several modes that come with the UI, there are other modes available. To choose from, there are 21 modes in total.

Click the small setting icon below a single mode to enter detailed setting options. You can customize the water temperature, dehydration speed, drying mode, rinse times, and whether to automatically dispense laundry detergent and softener, and turn on fresh air. flavor and quick-drying functions, etc. After selecting, click the start icon below, and the washing machine will start working.

This washing and drying machine also supports the reservation function. Set the washing completion time, washing mode, etc. in the reservation options. The system will automatically calculate the time required for the work and automatically start the work when the time is up. End the work at the set wash completion time.

In addition, Yunmi EyeBot washing and drying all-in-one machine also supports smart home linkage, but currently it can only be linked with Yunmi products, such as controlling the washing machine on the large screen of Yunmi refrigerator. There are two methods of touch screen interface operation and voice control, or the washing machine automatically lowers the Yunmi electric clothes drying rack after finishing washing. It is hoped that access to Mijia can be opened in the future to achieve more linkage experiences and gameplay.

丨Experience summary

After the Yunmi EyeBot Internet washing and drying machine arrived home, I took advantage of the fresh energy during the physical examination to wash all the clothes that had been accumulated at home. I was deeply impressed by the large capacity of 11Kg and the integrated washing and drying function. In particular, the fresh air drying and fresh air deodorization functions have greatly changed the previous poor experience of traditional washing and drying machines, improving efficiency while also improving user experience.

As far as the product itself is concerned, the EyeBot series has a simple and fashionable appearance design, and the cloud blue color is low-key and restrained; the 11Kg drum capacity can accommodate more clothes at one time; the laundry detergent tank has a large capacity of 1.8L and supports Automatically puts in the right amount; supports washing and drying integration, supports multiple modes and combination modes, and can be flexibly selected according to actual conditions; equipped with fresh air drying and fresh air deodorization functions, intelligently adjusts the drying time, and air washes to remove dust and odors on the surface of clothes; Access the Yunmi Mall APP to support remote control and smart home linkage.

Based on a period of experience, it is a small pity that this all-in-one washing and drying machine does not support access to Mijia. I hope to improve this experience in the future. Whether it is renovating a new house or adding a front-loading washing machine to an old house, Yunmi’s EyeBot Internet washing and drying all-in-one machine is a recommended choice.
