Energy Efficiency Features of the Splendide® WD7100XC: Doing More with Less
The Splendide® WD7100XC isn’t just built tough—it’s designed smart. Whether you're boondocking off-grid or just trying to reduce your environmental footprint, this washer-dryer combo is packed with energy- and water-saving features that don’t compromise on performance. Let’s take a closer look at how the WD7100XC delivers powerful results while minimizing resource use.
ENERGY STAR® Certified
One of the most notable features is that the WD7100XC is ENERGY STAR® certified, meaning it uses significantly less water and energy compared to conventional washers. According to the official manual, the WD7100XC is up to 40% more efficient than non-ENERGY STAR® models. That adds up to substantial savings over time—not just for your wallet, but for the planet.
Smart Resource Management
The WD7100XC uses intelligent systems to ensure it never wastes water or energy:
💧 Auto Water/Energy Control
Automatically senses the size of each load and adjusts both water and energy usage accordingly. Whether you're washing a small bundle of delicates or a full 11-lb load of cottons, the unit tailors its operation to use only what’s needed.
🔁 Recirculating Wash Feature
Rather than allowing detergent-rich water to drain away too early, the WD7100XC recirculates it through the drum, ensuring the soap is fully utilized. This enhances cleaning performance without requiring extra detergent or water.
🧼 Foam Removal System
Too many suds can reduce wash efficiency and require additional rinses. The built-in foam detection system monitors the wash for excessive foam and adds rinse water only when necessary—saving water and speeding up the wash process.
Efficient Drying with High-Speed Spin
The 1200 RPM spin cycle extracts more water from your clothes before drying begins. Less water in your fabrics means the dryer doesn’t have to work as hard, which results in:
-
Shorter drying times
-
Lower heat requirements
-
Less energy consumed overall
And for delicate loads or light fabrics, you can further reduce energy use by selecting the Low Heat drying option.
Designed for Low Maintenance
Unlike older models that required users to clean messy lint traps, the WD7100XC is built with a self-cleaning pump that sends lint safely down the drain or out the dryer vent. This not only saves you time and hassle—it helps maintain energy efficiency by keeping internal parts clean and operating at peak performance.
Small Loads, Big Savings
The WD7100XC is ideal for RVers, van lifers, and anyone living tiny or off-grid. Thanks to its advanced efficiency systems, you can wash small loads without wasting large amounts of water or energy—something that sets it apart from full-size residential machines.
Eco-Conscious Detergent Use
Because of its high-efficiency wash system, the WD7100XC only needs 1 to 2 tablespoons of detergent per load. Using eco-friendly or bio-compatible detergents (as recommended in the manual) not only protects your machine, but also keeps wastewater cleaner—especially important for those using greywater tanks or septic systems.
