Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

On September 5, Stone Science and Technology released this month's new product, the integrated stone molecular sieve washing and drying machine H1 Neo, with a hand price of 3999 yuan.

H1 Neo is the second integrated stone washing and drying machine product, just more than half a year after the release of the stone molecular sieve washing and drying machine H1.

In fact, from the name, it is not difficult to see that this time the stone H1 Neo still continues the technical route of the previous "molecular sieve" drying.

On the H1 half a year ago, Stone Science and Technology launched the "molecular sieve low temperature drying technology", which is also the industry washing and drying machine condensation type, heat pump type in addition to the "third drying technology", mainly comparable to heat pump type low temperature protective clothing drying and high performance price.

Stone molecular sieve washing and drying machine H1 Neo what about the stone H1 Neo experience that integrates the advantages of this technology? With these questions, we enter the evaluation experience.

Stone H1 Neo, H1 difference as above, the design of stone H1 Neo continues the design of H1 as a whole, with slight changes in details.

For example, the full-touch color screen has been changed to a knob + LED touch screen, and for example, the anti-perm cover and control panel have been changed from glass to ABS. These minor changes do not affect the overall aesthetic design of the stone H1 Neo.

Many manufacturers like to over-design, want to use a variety of luxury materials on a product, design stack, so the product looks very "messy", but the really good design is to understand "restraint", this stone H1 Neo "restraint" quite well.

For example, the stone H1 Neo machine basically has only two colors, without too much decoration, everything is just right.

Stone H1 Neo provides space ash and glacier white, while CTOnews.com gets glacier white. It is important to emphasize that the stone is very good at tuning this "white", which is close to milky white, with a little matte.

This kind of white is neither bright nor conspicuous, and looks extremely "clean", very much like the "silent wind" of Japanese-style household appliances in the past. The author gives high marks to the appearance design of stone H1 Neo, which to a large extent is the addition of this "glacier white" color matching.

Look at the details again.

A knob is added to the middle frame of the stone H1 Neo, which echoes with the lower roller cover, and the silver edge design also highlights the texture. However, there is a saying that the handle of the knob is general, and when it rotates, it does not have the damping feeling of "click click" like the luxury car as the author imagined.

On one side of the knob is a color LED control screen, which you can operate directly through the touch screen above the washing machine, such as choosing different laundry modes, and so on. In the course of work, this screen will show the working status, including washing mode, remaining time, washing stain mode, and so on.

The stone Logo area on the left side of the knob is opened to fill the mouth of detergent and softener. Press and hold the PUSH key to remove the module completely.

Detergent storage box capacity is detergent 580ml and softener 420ml, official laboratory data, two-day frequency of use, can be used for about a month.

Come down here.

Open the drum cover and you can see the inside of the drum.

Stone molecular sieve washing and drying machine H1 Neo has 12kg laundry capacity, 72L cylinder volume, barrel diameter 510mm, can wash 5 sets of four sets or 60 shirts or 20 pairs of jeans at a time, officials say, "can easily meet the laundry needs of a family of four."

This figure is consistent with H1, and 12kg washing capacity also belongs to the "high capacity" range in the industry as a whole.

Further down, the lower right side of the fuselage is a filter cover, which can be ejected down by pressing, which is used to clean the internal drainage pump. Perhaps it is because of the engineering machine, the gap between the lid and the fuselage of the equipment obtained by CTOnews.com is relatively large, which slightly affects the beauty.

Second, the measurement of cleaning ability first talk about the hardware parameters of the integrated stone molecular sieve washing and drying machine H1 Neo:

In terms of motor, stone H1 Neo uses DD direct drive frequency conversion motor, up to 1200 rpm / min high frequency speed, 200 rpm less than H1, in the case of relatively lower speed, washing and drying efficiency has no impact.

The cleaning ratio is 1.1, which is the first-class level in the industry.

In terms of drying function, H1 Neo is equipped with "molecular sieve low temperature drying" technology and self-developed RR washing and drying algorithm, so as to achieve accurate temperature control, support "UVC ultraviolet sterilization function" and "self-cleaning wool filtration system".

In the evaluation of H1, CTOnews.com has popularized DD direct drive variable frequency motor.

To put it simply, because there is no belt and pulley and other components, DD direct-drive variable frequency motor can further reduce friction and vibration. Compared with the traditional BLDC motor, the former has a series of advantages, such as lower noise, less vibration, high energy efficiency, long life and so on.

In addition, the industry DD motors are basically 10-year warranty, stone H1 Neo is the same, and the 10-year warranty label is also affixed to the side of the fuselage.

Come to the basic cleaning test.

First of all, we prepared two large blankets, some towels, two puppet toys, and two shirts, short sleeves and sweaters each. These clothes can be easily stuffed into the big belly of stone H1 Neo.

In the cleaning mode, we chose the "standard" laundry mode, the drying mode is "extra dry", rinsing twice, dehydration 1200 revolutions, washing temperature 40 °C, the system shows that the whole washing time is more than 3 hours and 7 minutes.

Let's look directly at the cleaning effect after 4 hours:

(before washing on the left and after washing on the right)

As shown in the picture above, this yellowish stubborn oil stain on the chest of the T-shirt has completely disappeared after a period of washing.

Also as shown in the above picture, after the "standard" washing, the inner test of the collar of the woolen sweater and the stains under it have disappeared.

The coffee stains deliberately sprinkled on the area under the chest of the woolly sweater are basically invisible after some washing and drying. There are only faint traces, and don't worry. H1 Neo offers 25 laundry programs with a "special stain" function, which can be used to clean stubbornly such stubborn stains as "coffee stains", "chili oil stains" and "lipstick stains".

From the above simple test, the basic cleaning ability of stone H1 Neo is no problem, even a little unexpected.

Next, let's move on to the most important part of Stone H1 Neo, which is also its selling point-low temperature drying.

Third, drying experience on the stone of this set of "molecular sieve low temperature drying" technology, in the previous H1 evaluation, CTOnews.com also had popular science. Let's not talk about the working principle here, but briefly talk about its advantages.

We know that at present, the washing and drying all-in-one machine on the market is mainly divided into condensation type and heat pump type two drying technology solutions.

Condensing type mostly exists in the field of washing and drying all-in-one machine, wind drying through the heating device, can be simply understood as "hair dryer" drying, there is a certain degree of damage to clothes.

Heat pump type is in the condensing type on the basis of the addition of compressors and other equipment, through the condenser and evaporator circulation of cold and warm gas for drying, because it is low temperature drying, excellent effect, excellent energy efficiency.

But at present, heat pump mostly exists in the field of independent dryer, and the price of heat pump washing and drying machine is very expensive.

Compared with the traditional condensation dryer, the advantage of molecular sieve low-temperature drying of stone is that it is dried at low temperature, which is better than condensation drying, and the drying speed is faster; compared with the heat pump all-in-one machine that also focuses on "low temperature" drying, stone also has a relatively lower threshold to start with, after all, the price of heat pump (washing and drying all-in-one machine) is generally over 10,000.

Stone H1 Neo provides three drying modes including micro-drying, ordinary drying and ultra-drying, while CTOnews.com chooses ultra-drying mode. The drying mode can completely dry the clothes, takes the longest and driest, and is used for off-season storage, reducing wrinkles, moistureproof and mildew proof.

Let's look directly at the drying effect of stone H1 Neo.

As shown in the following picture, after drying, the fluffy clothes are completely dried, soft and fluffy, and the clothing fibers are fully stretched.

Before and after drying, the outer layer of imitation rabbit wool has become fluffy and supple, without any moisture or dampness.

Pure cotton heavy T-shirt, after drying, take it out like the sun, the smell of detergent comes from the nostrils, can be directly put on the body.

It should be noted that from the actual experience, the drying time shown by the stone H1 Neo system is not 100% accurate. In work, with the help of the sensor inside the cylinder, the system will dynamically adjust the time according to the drying situation. For example, in the author's washing and drying test, the total time is about 4 hours, which is slightly longer than the 3 hours predicted by the system.

During the drying process, CTOnews.com also simply measured the temperature outside the cylinder through a thermal imager.

As shown in the image above, in ultra-dry washing and drying mode, the highest temperature of the stone H1 Neo shell can reach about 43.3 °C. it feels slightly warm, but it is not "hot".

Fourth, the detail experience washing and drying work noise is also the focus of consumers' attention. This part of CTOnews.com has done a simple test. First of all, the noise of stone H1 Neo in laundry is very small, basically around 50dB, very faint.

The noise when washing clothes to cite a simple example, if the washing machine is placed in the next room, there will be no work noise at all. If you put it in the living room, you can only hear the "clatter" sound of the current and clothes rolling in the quiet afternoon or at night.

When you dump your work, the noise will increase to a certain extent, especially in the early stage of drying, you will hear a certain noise, which can slightly exceed the 60dB, and there will be a certain vibration at the same time. However, the duration of this process is very short, basically in dozens of seconds, when the dehydration rotates at a high speed, the noise will be significantly reduced, at this time, the author put a glass of water on the top of the fuselage, you can see only slight fluctuations in the water surface.

In the later stage of high-speed drying, the noise of the vibration during the drying is present, which is a bit like the sound of the fan working, and this part of the noise is basically above the 60dB. If it is a daytime environment, such as a conversation between two people, or the living room TV is on, it can basically cover the drying noise. But if the room is particularly quiet, the drying sound is still obvious, like an electric fan with first gear on.

The noise during drying generally speaking, the noise control of stone H1 Neo is quite good, which is basically the same performance as H1. It needs to be emphasized that when the washing machine is installed, it must be fixed in place to ensure that the bottom is flat, otherwise it is easy to shake when drying.

Stone H1 Neo did not use H1 silver ion sterilization, but replaced with "UVC ultraviolet germicidal function", the official said the sterilization rate reached 99.99%.

In the test, in the early stage of laundry, blue light can be clearly seen in the barrel, which is exactly the work of UVC ultraviolet sterilization.

Finally, there is the interactive part.

You can operate through the LED touch panel, basically no learning cost, easy to use, and very friendly to the elderly.

Further, you can do more detailed customization through App, and you can also remotely control and check the working status through App, which is no different from H1 experience.

For example, in App, you can also choose cotton and linen, baby, anti-allergy, exercise, night, new clothes, shirts, chemical fiber, underwear, strong, gentle, changing seasons, warm clothes and so on.

You can also choose a variety of different laundry modes, such as rapid washing, germicidal mite removal, home textiles, down, babies, etc., such as single dehydration, bleaching + stripping, or separate washing, drying and so on.

Stone H1 Neo panel provides custom buttons, in the App end, you can choose different washing modes, procedures, parameters saved in the "custom" program summary: stone H1 Neo can be seen as a more cost-effective version of H1, in the details of slight changes, but the price is a full 2000 yuan lower, the performance-to-price ratio is more prominent.

In terms of experience, Stone H1 Neo is still equipped with "molecular sieve low temperature drying" technology, which is comparable to the low temperature drying experience of heat pump, more protective clothes, and more friendly to the washing and drying of high-end clothes. More importantly, the clothes dried by stone H1 Neo can be worn directly, which is a very obvious advantage in the entire 4K gear washing and drying all-in-one machine.

It can even be said that the release of stone H1 Neo has greatly lowered the threshold of "low temperature washing", and consumers have a better choice between the traditional condensation type or heat pump type.

In the author's opinion, the only obvious "disadvantage" of stone H1 Neo is that it does not have much influence in the whole field of washing and drying machine, especially compared with traditional established manufacturers, "novice" stone suffers more losses. But it is only a matter of time, stone through the "molecular sieve low temperature drying technology", has proved its strength to the industry.
