Energy Efficient Washing Machine by Voltas Beko Can Cut Electricity Bill Easily
Have you ever looked at your electricity bill and wondered how it got so high? With the increasing living costs, it is important to take every necessary step to cut costs. Electricity expenses are often a major part of your monthly household expenses. Taking the necessary steps to reduce these costs can positively impact your financial health.
A major component that contributes highly to energy consumption is your washing machine. Although it provides the convenience of efficiently cleaning your clothes, it consumes a lot of energy, sending your electricity bills through the roof. However, that doesn't necessarily have to be the case. Introducing Voltas Beko’s energy-efficient washing machine built around the trusty ProSmart™ Inverter Motor. Here’s how this innovative technology can chop electricity bills with ease.
How Much Electricity Energy Efficient Washing Machine Saves?
An energy-efficient washing machine can reduce your electricity bills over time, particularly if you do laundry several times a week. The exact savings depend on factors such as your usage, wash settings, and local electricity tariff. However, a washing machine with a ProSmart™ Inverter Motor uses electricity more efficiently by adjusting the motor speed according to the wash load, avoiding unnecessary power consumption.
For example: A household that does around 20 laundry loads every month can save 20–30 kWh of electricity annually by upgrading from an older washing machine to a 5-Star energy-efficient model. At an average electricity cost of ₹8 per unit, this translates to ₹1,600–₹2,400 in savings over 10 years and reduce your overall energy consumption.
To maximise savings:
- Wash full loads whenever possible.
- Use cold water for everyday laundry.
- Select the right wash programme for your load.
- Choose a 5-Star rated Voltas Beko washing machine for better long-term efficiency.
How Energy Efficient Washing Machine by Voltas Beko can Reduce Electricity Bills?
Inverter Motor is like the heart of a washing machine due to its essential role in the machine’s functioning. Similar to how the heart continuously pumps blood, the inverter motor works continuously during a wash cycle. Much like a healthy heart is crucial for the body's overall well-being, an efficient inverter motor plays a crucial role in enhancing the washing machine’s performance while cutting down the electricity bill. Here’s how the ProSmart™ Inverter Motor in Voltas Beko’s energy-efficient washing machines can reduce electricity bills:
Brushless Motor
Traditional washing machines have inverter motors with brushes, which have many drawbacks. Wear and tear is one of the major issues with brushes due to friction. Over time, these brushes tend to wear out. This leads to your washing machine working harder and wasting more energy.
The absence of brushes in the ProSmart™ Inverter Motor negates wear and tear caused by friction. These motors, also known as BLDC (Brushless Direct Current) motors, have direct contact with the power source. This leads to efficient functioning and minimal energy consumption.
Fast Dry Technology
While conventional washing machines offer the convenience of drying clothes, they end up consuming more energy. They often have standard spin cycles that are not effective at extracting moisture from clothes. This leads to longer drying cycles, ultimately increasing the electricity consumption.
Voltas Beko’s energy-efficient washing machines are equipped with fast dry technology. They have enhanced spin cycles which reduce the time needed for drying clothes. Moreover, they are equipped with additional air vents. These ensure you get crisp, dry clothes without consuming excess energy.
Efficient Usage of Water
Water consumption may not seem like a factor affecting electricity consumption, but it plays a pivotal role. Conventional washing machines often require heated water to clean stubborn stains. For instance, using hot water to wash garments like gym clothes, socks, boxers, etc., can help you clean them better. However, the process of heating water is not energy efficient.
Fortunately, Voltas Beko’s energy-efficient washing machines are designed to clean clothes using cold water cycles effectively. Since heating water can lead to more energy consumption, using cold water can reduce energy usage, leading to lower electricity bills.

FAQs
1. Does an inverter washing machine save electricity?
Yes. Inverter washing machines adjust the motor speed based on the laundry load instead of running at a constant speed. This reduces unnecessary power consumption, which makes them more energy-efficient than conventional washing machines and offer quieter operation and longer motor life.
2. Which washing machine consumes less electricity: top load or front load?
In general, front-load washing machines are more energy-efficient because they use less water and require less energy for heating and spinning. However, a 5-Star rated top-load washing machine with an inverter motor, like select Voltas Beko models, can also deliver excellent energy savings while providing effective cleaning.
