Before you decide to buy a specific model of the washing machine, check, what should you pay attention to and what are the differences between various models. This will help you choose the right washing machine which will fulfil all your expectations.
What type of washing machine
We distinguish various types of washing machines. The most popular ones are the front loading washing machines the depth of which is between 50 and 65 cm. The so called slim washing machines are front loaders and are from 39,9 up to 49 cm in depth. On the market you will also find the super slim front loading washing machines the depth of which does not exceed 39,9 cm. totally different type are the top loading washing machines. They are usually 60 cm in depth and their width varies from 40 to 50 cm. The size of the washing machine must be properly adjusted to the space available at your home.
Capacity and types of drums
The capacity of the drum in the washing machine tells you how much laundry you can put into the washing machine. The drum capacity can be adjusted to your individual needs – the washing machine designed for singles is other than the appliance for large families. Following load capacities are available on the market: up to 3,9 kg, 4 - 4,9 kg, 5 – 5,9 kg, 6 – 6,9 kg, 7 – 7,9 kg, 8 – 8,9 kg and from 9 kg.
The washing machines can also come with different types of drums. Apart from those regular ones you can also find drums with diamond, honeycomb and water drop structure.
Energy efficiency rating
You should check whether your desired washing machine is amongst those appliances which have the minimum efficiency rating A. This will be an energy efficient appliance which lets you save on your energy bills while doing the laundry. If you decide to buy a washing machine with the highest energy efficiency rating A+++ you can really save a lot especially then, if you wash quite often.
Spin speed
The higher the spin speed, the more water will be extracted from your clothes after you take them out of the washing machine after spinning. The best way is to buy a washing machine which has the spin speed between 1000 and 1400 rpm. Available are also models of washing machines which can spin the laundry at the speed of 1500 or even 1600 rpm. Remember to pay attention to whether the washing machine lets you adjust the spin speed – we recommend much lower spin speed for delicate fabrics.
Water consumption
The water consumption has also an influence on the bills, that is why you should choose a washing machine which will need as little water as possible for one cycle. The older washing machines used to consume as much as 100 litres for one cycle. Fortunately, the modern washing machines need half that amount of water. Depending on the model this appliance can consume from 39 up to 69 litres of water for one wash cycle.
Wash programs
Wash programs installed in the washing machines are also very important. The modern appliances enable you to wash practically all types of fabrics without running the risk of damaging them. The most favourite programs are for example the program for allergy sufferers which allows for the thorough washing of clothes. The wash program with prewash will come in useful while washing heavily soiled clothes. The perfect solution is also the quick wash – refreshing which usually takes between 15 to 30 minutes – this is great if you want to wash very delicate and slightly soiled clothes.
