No one doubts the need for a washing machine in the house. It is unlikely that there will be a mistress who would prefer to wash her hands, bending over the bath. The automatic washing machine has firmly entered our everyday life, and is of great benefit, saving time and effort.
The device and types of washing machines
The device is simple. In domestic stores, activator-type washing machines with a rotating drum are common . The drum of the washing machine is installed on the horizontal axis, while it is called vertical, and the activator protrusions are located on its inner surface. The washing process occurs due to the rotation (machining) of the laundry and active detergents that can dissolve and remove contaminants from the fabric.
The most popular are two types of machines. In front-loading appliances, laundry enters through a special hatch equipped with a transparent window, and when loading vertically, through the hinged door in the drum itself. Which washing machine is better is more a matter of taste needs.
Among the advantages of front-loading machines is the ability to visually control the washing process. The tanks of such devices are made in a monolithic manner, which guarantees their reliability. On the other hand, frontal machines take up more space compared to vertical ones, and to work with them you need to lean low. Users who don’t like it choose vertical loading machines.
A washing machine of this kind will take up less space, and if there is not enough space in the bathroom, it can be installed in a niche due to the small standard dimensions: 45 x 60 x 85 cm and a hatch opening upwards. The cost of a top-loading washing machine may be higher than its horizontal-loading counterparts. The reason - in the number of shock absorbers - in the "vertical" there are two of them. This makes the system more reliable and more expensive.
However, the control of the washing takes place solely by the indicator lights of the panel and the position of the switches. In addition, nothing can be put on the top cover of the appliance, and in the bathroom an excess surface will never hurt.
Quality washing machine
When choosing a washing machine, we are interested in the quality of its work. Before deciding on the company and model, you need to choose the place where the device will be installed and check the possibility of its correct connection. After all, for this it is necessary to bring electric current, cold water and sewage. The electrical wiring must be designed for the appropriate load for the proper operation of the machine.
Next, we study the characteristics of the equipment, namely the number of revolutions during the spin cycle, the energy consumption class, the main programs and additional functions. The higher the characteristics, the more expensive the automatic washing machine. The price also depends on the manufacturer. To make the right choice, it is advisable to decide which features are important to you, and which can be discarded for the purpose of saving. The choice of the highest class of energy consumption will also help to save. Today, models of the A ++ class already exist. They carefully consume water and electricity, without completely compromising the quality of the wash. Regarding additional functions, you probably will never use washing at 95C, but you will need delicate and hand washing, for example, to wash the down jacket in a washing machine or to refresh window curtains.
Undoubtedly, when choosing a car, the brand also matters. Each buyer has their own preferences. The most expensive cars in our market are Miele, a German assembly, they are designed for 30 years of operation. More affordable options with an average price: ARISTON, INDESIT, ZANUSSI and ELECTROLUX. Warranty repair of these models will be performed in any workshop. BOSH and SIEMENS are now mainly manufactured in Spain; machine parts are by no means cheap. American models assembled in Italy - GENERAL ELECTRIC and WHIRLPOOL - decent quality and reasonable prices. The Italian company CANDY has established itself in the best way, its models are diverse and reliable. ARDO is also an Italian company, but they do it in China. Accordingly, the prices are lower. Of course, Korean manufacturers SAMSUNG and LG occupy a special place in the market.
Having correctly approached the choice of a washing machine, you can significantly simplify your life and avoid problems with its subsequent long-term use. It is advisable not to be lazy and collect enough information about washing machines (for example, on the Internet), so that the purchase brings only benefit and pleasure.
