When you are resting in the country, at any time of the year the main question arises before you, where to wash your dirty clothes. Therefore, a washing machine in the country will be an indispensable assistant.
Instructions
Step 1
In order to choose a washing machine, you need to decide on the price and brand, since they are automatic or activator type, with top or front loading, wide or narrow. For a country house, it would be more reasonable to use an inexpensive model that consumes less energy, which uses less water, but at the same time, it washes away any dirt well.
Step 2
There are a lot of selection criteria, but the most important are the technical characteristics of the equipment. And first of all, these are the washing classes of the unit. They are usually denoted by the Latin letters A-G. The best washing quality is in class A and B, class C and E - normal average values, G and F - satisfactory quality.
Step 3
When choosing a washing machine, you should also pay attention to the spin quality, that is, how wet the clothes will remain after washing. The best option would be a system with the ability to adjust, since some fabrics, for example, wool, 1000 - 2000 rpm can be harmful. For high-quality spinning, 600 - 800 revolutions are enough.
Step 4
There are also classes of electricity consumption. So, the cars of the class "A" and "B" are the most economical ones. Additional programs can also be attributed to the technical characteristics. As a budget option for a washing machine, a semi-automatic model is suitable. They are mainly produced by domestic and foreign manufacturers.
Step 5
You can save not only on finances or detergents, but also on your strengths. For this, a drum-type washing machine will come in handy. True, such a machine will cost a lot of money. But nevertheless, if you decide to throw off the burden of worries, then you should not save on the cost of such a washing machine, since, using the cheapest equipment purchased, repairs may be needed in two or four years. Moreover, replacing a pump or heating element will cost you the same money that you saved.
Step 6
When choosing a washing machine tank, you should pay attention to its material, it is better if it is made of stainless steel or plastic. The steel tank is, of course, more durable, but, as it turns out, high performance is not always justified. Its cost is much more expensive, and it can live six or eight times longer than the machine itself, but it is rarely used alone. Therefore, the most profitable option would be a tank with a plastic drum. Its advantages include the fact that it does not corrode and dampens vibration well (as a result of which there is much less noise from the washing machine), and the service life of such a drum usually coincides with the life of the machine itself.
