Household appliances of the Spanish brand “Fagor” are rarely found on the domestic market and are little known to Russian buyers. The brand has proven itself well in European countries. The Fagor professional series washing machine is available in online stores. This is a worthy alternative to standard models not only for laundries, restaurants and hotels, but also for home washing. The purpose of this review is to tell about all the features of the mysterious and original brand.
Professional vs household. Which one to choose?
When purchasing equipment for business, owners often try to save money by purchasing cheaper economy class models. But this approach only at first glance seems to be beneficial. We measured seven times, weighed all the pros and cons so that you can make a rational decision.
Advantages of professional class SM:
- Strength and Endurance. Without labor and harm, the “pro” can work up to 20 hours a day for about 25 years in a row. A standard SM at this pace will last no more than a year. You will often have to spend money on repairs, and this is incompatible with savings.
- Short wash cycle. The maximum duration of the program is 1 hour, which is two times shorter than a regular CMA cycle, because the standard “cotton” mode will wash clothes for about two hours.
- Full manufacturer’s warranty – 1 year and a limited warranty of up to 5 years. A domestic model used in an industrial environment is not eligible for free maintenance. So that the company does not refuse you free service, follow the operating rules, regularly and properly organize the maintenance of the equipment. The technical support service will help with the installation of equipment, tell you how to use it, how the model works.
- Professional dispensers detergents save valuable resources, and the drum is designed for a large amount of laundry. In addition, household models are not equipped with a sufficient range of programs. The microprocessor “pro” is programmed for 99 modes.
We think these arguments in favor of professional machines are enough to get interested in a special series.
Benefits of CMA brand Fagor:
- Compactness. Valuable for smaller buildings (hairdressers, fitness clubs, salons, hospitals) without compromising production capacity and capacity.
- Wet Cleaning function. A wide range of various programs and economical modes for professional dry cleaners and laundries.
- Water recovery system. Thanks to a special latest-generation purifying device, the SM regenerates water instead of draining and collecting a new portion. Therefore, the saving of water resources is 70%. In addition, no reheating is required when using high-temperature cycles, which is a significant energy saving.
- Self service option and self-diagnosis facilitates operation and guarantees uninterrupted workflow.
