At step S107, when the F3 is greater than or equal to a first preset value T1, if the laundry is determined to be a small amount of laundry, recommending the user to use a smaller laundry processing unit for washing, where the recommending manner may be to use a voice broadcast to the user to recommend the smaller laundry processing unit for washing;
at step S108, when the F3 is less than a first preset value T1, washing is performed according to the larger laundry treating unit selected by the user;
at step S109, whether the user selects a larger laundry treating unit,
if the user does not make a selection, the multi-unit laundry treating device washes using a smaller laundry treating unit at step S110,
if the user still selects to use the larger laundry processing unit for washing after recommending the user to use the smaller laundry processing unit for washing, the multi-unit laundry processing device uses the user-selected larger laundry processing unit for washing, as described in step S108;
and finally, the multi-unit clothes treatment device operates the mode of the corresponding clothes treatment unit, and the washing program operates until the washing program is finished.
In the process control flow of fig. 100, the user' S selection of the larger washing tub (or the laundry treating unit) in step S105 may be omitted in actual operation, and if the user directly selects the larger laundry treating unit for washing in step S105, waste may be generated in treating a small amount of laundry, the multi-tub washing machine may need to recommend the user to use the smaller washing tub for treating a small amount of laundry. If the user directly selects to wash a small amount of laundry using a small washing tub at step S105, the subsequent recommendation process is not allowed. In the actual operation process, the user may also be directly recommended to use a smaller washing tub for washing, so that the user can make a selection, thereby omitting step S105.
And finally, the multi-unit clothes treatment device operates the mode of the corresponding clothes treatment unit, and the washing program operates until the washing program is finished.
