Washing is an indispensable process. Of course, you can constantly take things to dry cleaning, but this is not suitable for everyone. Since ancient times, people have washed clothes only by hand. Later, a washing machine was released, which greatly facilitated this process.

Technology does not stand still. Now, ultrasonics are also used for washing, although previously it was used only in the military industry. The cleaning of the fabric occurs under the influence of acoustic waves that penetrate between the fibers. Is this technology effective? Reviews will help answer this question.

Description
The Retona washing machine, reviews of which will be presented below, is small in size. It is equipped with an emitter and a power adapter, which are interconnected by a wire. The device itself is light, only the unit that is connected to the mains is heavy.

The human ear does not hear it, so the work cannot provoke a feeling of discomfort. As the manufacturer of Retona assures, when turned on, the device generates acoustic waves that simply knock out the accumulated dirt from the fabric.
Ultrasound has long been used in industry. It cleans any surface. This method is most in demand for hard-to-reach places, for example, inside metal pipes. Its effectiveness will depend on the power. In washing machines, it does not exceed 100 kHz. In industry, ultrasound is used dozens of times higher, so the performance is much better. If you consider that a lot of water is poured during washing, then the power of the machine is noticeably reduced.
