Which washing machine to choose?

The choice of household appliances is always a responsible thing, because things from this category should serve us faithfully for more than one year. And the washing machine is no exception, but it's better to choose which one to impose on advertising is not so easy. That's besieging the ladies of sellers in stores with requests "Help me choose a washing machine," and what can they say? Often consultants, memorizing the technical parameters of models, can not answer how they affect the quality of the machine. So let's try to figure out how to choose the right washing machine, yourself.


How to choose the right washing machine?

To determine which washing machine is best to choose, you need to understand, and what they generally differ, what parameters you need to pay attention to when buying.

  1. Washing machines differ in the type of loading - vertical and frontal. Front loading is one that is produced through a round hatch at the front of the machine. With vertical loading, the laundry is put into the machine through the hatch on the top cover of the machine. The way of loading on the quality of washing does not affect, so choose the one with which it will be more convenient for you to work.
  2. Also all washing machines can be divided into built-in and detached. If you need a built-in machine, then you should not buy the usual one and try to embed it somewhere, nothing good will come of it. Built-in machines differ not only in their ability to easily fit into the interior, but also in special indicators of the level of vibration.
  3. And of course, you need to pay attention to the dimensions of the machine. If the place in the apartment is not very much, then it is worth paying attention to the narrow and compact cars. But it is worth remembering that reducing the dimensions leads to a decrease in the maximum weight of the laundry, which can be loaded into the machine. Usually compact washing machines mean loading no more than 3.5 kg.
  4. Important indicators that will help answer the question of how to choose a high-quality washing machine are the class of pressing, washing and energy consumption. The quality of washing is marked in Latin letters from A (excellent) to G (bad). The efficiency of spinning can be determined by focusing on the marking (the same as in the case of the quality of washing), and paying attention to the number of revolutions. But it is worth remembering that the speed above 1000 rpm is required only when washing terry cloths, in other cases, the spinning is performed remarkably at lower speeds. Also, the quality of the spin is affected by the diameter of the drum, the smaller it is, the worse the machine will squeeze the laundry. And the energy consumption class will tell you how much the washing machine is economical, it is also marked with letters from A to G, where A is a mark about the highest profitability.
  5. Washing programs are usually divided according to the type of fabric, the nature of the clothes and the nature of the laundry. The more programs, the higher the cost of a washing machine. Therefore, it will be right to choose the model of the washing machine, thinking about which of the programs you really need, and what you are unlikely to use.
  6. The control method does not affect the quality of washing, but the ease of use. Therefore, if you are not too lazy to turn the knobs, setting the parameters of washing, then you can completely limit yourself to mechanical control. If you put yourself in the category of extremely busy ladies who manage to press only one button on the panel, then you better choose electronic control - the machine will do everything for you, and even display information on the display. Yes, such machines will be more expensive, but they expend more energy and water more economically.

Which washing machine to choose?

Thinking about a washing machine, which firm to choose, it is necessary to remember that different firms produce equipment for different price segments.

The quality of washing will certainly be different, but if you wash exclusive fabrics and are not going to, then the exclusive quality of washing will be of no use.
