Key Features and Highlights:

  • The washing machine has an amazing dryer speed of 1400 RPM. This really helps during the monsoons, when you struggle to get your clothes dry.
  • The product has over 100 wash cycles (Possible due to a combination of various temperature, RPM and wash cycle setting you can select). This I feel is a bit of an overkill. I don’t think anyone who has bought this washing machine ever has used all the possible combinations.
  • However, this does give you an option to play around with the wash cycles and shortlist a few that work the best for you.
  • IFB machines are really good with delicate wash cycles. They have multiple features/options that take care of your delicate clothes. They have a couple wash cycles specially built in for the same.
  • One more distinguishing feature of this washing machine is the use of a large LCD screen. You can easily see the program selected, time left for the wash cycle to finish etc

The demo video below by Flipkart will give you a better look at the product and also explain few features of Senator Aqua SX.

 

IFB technologies used in this washing machine:

  • Air Bubble Wash System – This system forms multiple air bubbles during the wash cycle. This helps the detergent to get pushed into the fabric and release the dirt. This gives you a better wash quality without the need for a rigorous wash mechanism.
  • 3D Wash System  – A special nozzle system is built into the Senator Aqua. This helps circular the water 360° inside the wash drum. This gives better quality rinse.
  • Aqua Energie –  IFB washing machines have a special Aqua Energie technology which reduces the impact of hard water. If you do get hard water at your home, this feature will be very useful for you. If needed, you can read more about washing machine & softners for hard water in India.

 

Cons of Senator Aqua SX:

This is where your reading about the user reviews will help you. If you haven’t gone through them yet. Do read spend some time reading them.

The IFB washing machines are really good. They perform well and the built quality is excellent. However, they seriously lag behind their competitors like LG in the department of customer service. However, I must admit that the problem is acute in a few cities.
