One of the first major purchases that a young family makes when moving into their own apartment is a washing machine. No one will deny that today this household appliance is on the list of essentials, so you should approach its choice with special responsibility.
Before finally deciding on the brand and model, it is necessary to competently allocate the place where this assistant will stand. To install any of its modifications, one thing is important - there must be access to the electrical network, to cold (and for some models and hot) water and exit to the sewerage system. If the size of the bathroom does not allow you to install the machine in this room, it makes sense to think about models that can be installed under the sink or in the kitchen.
The size of the space available to the family also determines such a characteristic of the washing machine as the type of laundry load. Machines with vertical loading have undeniable advantages - they are more compact, safer for children, and - an important point - at any moment of washing you can stop the program to dostove or, conversely, remove the laundry. Front-loading machines are more attractive in appearance and can be integrated into kitchen or other furniture.
An important selection criterion is the cost. A family of average income should not chase after the units of the best world manufacturers, as inexpensive equipment guarantees inexpensive washing machine repair.
One of the most important characteristics of the model is, undoubtedly, its power consumption class. Class A machines, such as those produced by Ardo, are considered to be less energy-consuming, but, as a rule, they are also the most expensive machines, and sometimes their cost is not always recouped by the reduced power consumption, and Ardo washing machine repair requires a larger financial investment than Class B and C machines. It is not rational to purchase a machine that does not fall into these categories of energy consumption. It is advisable to pay attention to the spin mode, because this characterizes the washing machine in terms of the full performance of its duties.
In addition, each model of any brand of automatic washing machine has in its "resume" several different programs that determine different washing modes for certain types of laundry. Additional options for different models are different, they are selected individually and depend on what kind of fabrics the future owner of the washing machine prefers.
Not many people have heard of the "washing principle". The fact is that each washing machine manufacturer applies its own washing principle, and you need to ask about it separately. For example, for many years, the world-famous Candy company has been successfully using the Combiwash system, which combines ordinary and delicate washing at the same time.
Even visually it is noticeable that different models have different drum sizes. For use at home, it is enough to have a unit with a drum designed to load dry laundry up to 5 kg, which is quite reasonable for a family of 2-4 people. If we take into account the industrial scale, then washing machines for these volumes have drums of 7-10 kg.
Usually all buyers are concerned about the spin mode of the purchased machine, because the amount of residual moisture retained in the washed laundry directly depends on the number of revolutions. But in this case, there is no ideal to chase. And indeed, even in the smallest amount of moisture still remains in the fabric, and only this criterion can not be guided, choosing a premium-class machine. In addition, automatic washing machines of the latest generations are not produced with a limited number of revolutions, and its spin mode can be adjusted and adjusted to the properties of the material from which the linen and closet items are made.
To make it convenient to turn the machine on and off, to set programs, you need an ergonomic and convenient control panel. In addition, it should be simple and as clear as possible, so that incorrectly set washing modes do not lead to damage to the laundry and the washing machine itself.
The noise level is of great importance. Many people prefer to wash at night to get clean, semi-dry laundry early in the morning, but it is unlikely that the neighbors, and the household, will like it if the sounds from the working washing machine will interfere with the night rest. However, this is not one of the most important parameters of the machine.
And, of course, you should not forget about safety for children, so it is better if the manufacturer has provided a lock or special buttons in the model you like. Only in this case a small researcher will not open the door by himself and will not be able to get injured or damage an expensive purchase.
