The parameters of the washing machine, which is worth paying attention to when searching
Usability and reliability of household appliances depend on its technical characteristics and the availability of additional functions.
Loading method
Devices with top loading reliable, fast work, and they also provide the ability to load laundry into the drum during the washing process into machines of this type. They can be placed in the bathroom of a very modest size, since the hatch is located on top.
Among the shortcomings can be identified that the drum, having sharp edges, can damage delicate fabrics. A rather large amount of water is consumed for each wash cycle, and spinning in machines of this type is not of very high quality, since the upright drum cannot perform the same number of revolutions as appliances with a frontal tank arrangement.
Also, due to the height of the device and the design features (the door opens at the top) it cannot be placed under the sink or under the worktop.
Buying a car front loading cheaper, but the effectiveness of devices of this type is higher:
- underwear in front-loading washing machine it washes off much better;
- the cycle consumes less water and detergent;
- a working device produces less noise;
- save electricity;
- car can place under the sink or embed in the kitchen;
- most models have both full and short washing modes;
- after pressing underwear barely wet.
The drawbacks of this type of device: strong vibration, which, however, can be eliminated if to install the device correctly; long wash cycle and large, compared with vertical, dimensions. When installing it is necessary to locate the device so that it was possible to open the door of the hatch freely. When the machine starts the wash cycle, the door is locked, and forgotten laundry can no longer be put into the drum.
If your goal is to buy a washing machine, which will be reliable and multifunctional, can cope with things of any type, then you should stop at the front loading.
Capacity
Measured in kilograms parameter, which shows how much laundry can wash the machine for 1 cycle.
Here you need to focus on your own needs: for large families, where dirty laundry accumulates quickly, and there are many of them, it is better to buy a washing machine with a capacity of 6 kg, and for a lonely person there is enough of an appliance that can handle 3.5 kg of laundry at a time.
Spinning
The number of revolutions that the machine makes when spinning, varies from 400 to 2000 for different models. However, 1000 - 1400 revolutions is a good indicator, such an amount will be enough for the laundry to be high quality after washing.
In addition, delicate and some other types of fabrics are not recommended to be pressed too hard,this can lead to their deformation. Is it worth overpaying for extra turnovers?
Energy class
The higher the class, the smaller the amount of electricity consumed by the device during operation. Even if the washing machine will cost a little more expensive than the same, but with a lower class, it is recommended to choose it - the difference will pay for itself during operation.
Drum material
Washing machine drum out of stainless steel It is considered more reliable and durable, since metal and other solid elements of clothing (zippers, buttons) do not leave marks on it, whereas they can damage the interior of a machine made of plastic or porcelain.
Drying
Many modern washing machines are available. with the function of drying clothes.
Built-in drying is convenient, since there is no need for an additional full-fledged device, for which you also need to find a place in the apartment.
However, it must be remembered that:
- equipped with a drying machine has impressive dimensions;
- it consumes significantly more electricity;
- the result that such a device can offer is inferior to that obtained with the help of a full-fledged drying apparatus.
Number of laundry programs
The more washing modes provided in the washing machine, the better and better the laundry will be washed.
Additional functions
Manufacturers are constantly striving to make changes in their products, to distinguish them from competitors, and new options appear quite often. Do you need them all? Are you ready to overpay for them? When purchasing a car, pay attention to 2 functions that make the process of operating the device more convenient and safer:
- Leakage protection If you are worried that you can flood your neighbors, buy a car with this option, and do not worry more about it - even if the device fails, a special mechanism will block the water supply and liquid will not flow to the floor.
- Direct drive. Devices with direct drive are more reliable than with belt. Also, these machines last longer, consume less energy and almost no noise.
Most others - control of foaming, water quality, protection from creasing, eco bubble and a lot of others - perhaps, improve the usability of the device, but are not really necessary in the opinion of experts.
Most trusted manufacturers are LG, Electrolux and Bocsh.When choosing machines from other companies, it is advisable to carefully study the technical characteristics and place of assembly of the equipment - the final quality of the device depends on these indicators.
Steam washing machines
This is a new generation device, quite expensive.
Among the advantages, experts point out:

Reviews
“Before I bought my first washing machine, I studied the reviews and features for a long time. I decided to stop at the Hans car - it was recommended by the consultants, and the reviews were good. As a result, the problems started already in the second year: the belt slipped off twice in a short time. Now, 6 years after the purchase, water in the door began to flow in the rinse mode. I plan to buy a new machine, but a different company. ”
Alexandra Viktorovna, 57 years old, Ulyanovsk, about Hansa WHB 1038
Oksana, 26 years old, Voronezh, about the car Samsung WW60H2210EW
“Bought 3 years ago. During this time, a child appeared, and the machine copes with the increased volume of washing. Works without complaints. They appreciated the function of blocking children - they did not pay attention when buying, but now they are useful. It is also convenient that the drum cleaning mode is provided - you leave it for an hour and a half, and then all the insides shine. I constantly recommend it to my friends. ”
