Today, most housewives can no longer imagine their home without a washing machine. This very useful unit saves a lot of time and effort for a more interesting and fulfilling life. But how to choose it so as not to regret the money spent?
- Loading type - vertical or horizontal. Choose one of these options depending on the place where the machine will be installed. For example, if you plan to install a washing machine under the countertop in the kitchen, then you will have to stop at the model with horizontal loading.
- Type of instalation. This parameter also completely depends on the wishes of the owner - choose a free-standing unit or a built-in one.
- Dimensions (compactness), which are directly related to the maximum load of the washing machine. On the Internet, you can find advisers who offer to buy compact washing machines with a small load for single people, and full-size ones for a large family, but this is a controversial statement. A lonely person can also benefit from a heavy-duty washing machine, as a small machine may not be able to handle a large duvet or coat. Thus, if you plan to wash massive things only at home, and not give them to dry cleaning, it is better to stop at a full-size washing machine model.
- Number of programs. As most housewives assure, they do not use all programs on a regular basis. To select a specific machine model, it is enough to determine what type of things you will wash (for example, bed linen, jackets, delicate fabrics, etc.), and then stop at the one that has the most necessary programs.
- Spin speed. Of course, it is convenient to have a washing machine with the maximum possible number of revolutions during spinning, since the larger this value, the drier the laundry will be after washing, however, the difference in revolutions is not so fundamental that it is too much to overpay.
- Availability of drying function. If you don't have enough space to hang your washed laundry, this feature will be a real salvation. It is also worth buying if you need a tumble dryer but have nowhere to put it.
- noise level (however, if the washing machine is installed far from the bedroom and behind a closed door, this parameter is not so important),
- the presence of protection against leaks,
- the presence of a keypad lock (important if there are small children in the house who can get to the operating unit),
- the ability to set a timer to start programs (a convenient function for those who have a two-rate meter installed in the house),
- non-volatile memory (it allows the machine to continue working after a power outage).
you shouldn't buy the most expensive car. It should be functional and not burden your budget.
