There is a washing machine in almost every home, and if it doesn’t, then this technique is on the first place in the young family’s shopping list. Today, the assortment of washing machines on the market is very large, they vary in many ways, and are produced by different manufacturers. Very helpful in the selection of user reviews of washing machines.
#1. According to the installation method, washing machines are divided into built-in and freestanding. The second option is the most popular, since in this case the machine can be moved to another place. Built-in appliances are installed in a specific place and subsequently rearranging it is quite difficult.
#2. Another type of classification is the loading method. Front-loading cars have a front hatch; to open it, extra space is required in front of the washing machine. Vertical loading saves space, this technique fits perfectly even in small rooms. however, they have one drawback - the complexity of the repair, and they also cost more. That is why front-loading cars remain more in demand.
#3. Distinguish washing machines and size.For small families, as well as in the absence of free space, the advantage should be given to a narrow typewriter, up to 40 cm wide. The load volume of linen in them is no more than 4 kg. Standard machines are the most popular, they can wash up to 7 kg of laundry at a time, and their width does not exceed 60 cm. Cars with a width of more than 60 cm are already bulky equipment, they are most often bought for mini-laundries, at a time in them You can wash up to 12 kg of laundry.
Expert reviews on which washing machine is better are not always an indisputable fact. Each family has its own special conditions that determine which machine to buy. Once you have decided on the size of the equipment, the installation method and the method of loading, you can proceed to the assessment of technical parameters.
The number of revolutions. Spinning after washing is carried out at a different number of revolutions of the drum per minute. The best option is 800 rpm, with these settings things do not spoil. At 1000 rpm you will get almost dry laundry out of the machine, but it also wears out faster. For delicate fabrics, a 400 rpm mode is required.
Control. The control of the washing machine, as well as other types of equipment, can be mechanical or electronic. The first option is simpler and more reliable, but electronic control only requires pressing a couple of buttons to select the appropriate mode. The rest will be done for you by the “brain” of the machine. There is also a modern version of intelligent control. In this case, you should indicate the type of fabric and the degree of contamination of things, and the machine will make the selection of temperature, rpm on the spin, the number of rinses and other parameters.
Class. Machines can be different in terms of washing class, spin class and energy class. Class A has the highest performance, class G or F devices are significantly inferior to other machines. Appliances with washing class A wash clothes much better, the spin class characterizes the degree of drying of the laundry, and the highest energy class A + saves electricity.
Also, the washing machine can be equipped with a display and have additional functions: quick wash mode, delayed start, child protection function and many others. Among manufacturers of washing machines, both imported brands are popular: Bosch, Zanussi, Samsung, and domestic: Atlant, Rolsen, Vyatka.
