The key facts
- Loretto DUO column: a 12 kg washing machine at the bottom and a 12 kg heat pump dryer on top, controlled from a single touch panel
- Washing machines of 6–10 kg with Direct Drive or Pro Inverter motors, a 10-year warranty on the motors
- All dryers use Heat Pump technology, consuming roughly half as much energy as condensation dryers with heating elements
Washing and drying: the DUO column and standalone machines
As reported by Kun.uz, the Loretto DUO column combines a 12 kg washing machine and a 12 kg dryer with Heat Pump technology. Both operate independently and are controlled from a single touch panel in the center of the column. The washing section uses a Direct Drive motor, while the dryer uses a brushless Pro Inverter. DUO automatically dispenses detergent and fabric softener, supports synchronization of washing and drying, steam treatment of laundry, and the FreshCare function protects laundry from wrinkling. Available colors: gray and purple. Loretto washing machines are designed for loads from 6 to 10 kg and run on inverter motors — Direct Drive or the brushless Pro Inverter. According to the publication, the motors have no wearing graphite brushes and come with a 10-year warranty. The AVENTO, VIANO, AVERO, LUNARO and LUCIA series feature a flat design: spin speed up to 1400 rpm, up to 16 programs, and steam washing — available in all of the brand's washing machines. The flagship LW-1017DD-G is controlled via Wi-Fi and washes at a reduced noise level at night.
Heat pump dryers
All Loretto dryers use Heat Pump technology: laundry is dried at 40–50 °C, and electricity consumption is roughly half that of condensation dryers with heating elements. Capacity is 8 and 10 kg, and there is a 'Wardrobe dry' mode for shoes and wool items.
Built-in kitchen appliances
Loretto dishwashers for 10, 14 and 16 place settings are fully concealed behind a furniture front. They are equipped with a touch display, 8 programs — from quick to intensive wash — and convenient baskets. Dishes are dried with heating, and at the end of the cycle the door opens automatically (Auto Open). The LBDW-106TDO/A and LBDW-146TDI/A models project the remaining wash time onto the floor. The ovens have a 70–80 liter chamber, heating up to 250 °C, convection and grill, up to 10 modes, triple door glazing and a sliding baking tray; the LBO-688NE11-BG model has 'Pizza' and Air Fry modes.
