Rating of inexpensive washing machines (automatic)
A washing machine is an absolutely irreplaceable household appliance. Earlier, even before the rapid development of technology, our mothers and grandmothers washed by hand or on an old-style washing machine, which took a lot of time and effort. The first automatic washing machine appeared in the USSR only in 1975, and came out to the masses many years later.
On the modern market, there is a huge assortment of washing machines with the best characteristics, and among them there are also inexpensive models that, despite their affordable cost, are distinguished by their reliability and ease of use.
What is important to consider when choosing?
- Loading type... As already noted, vertical ones are more expensive, let's dwell on frontal ones;
- Drum volume... It depends on how many things you can wash in one cycle;
- Noise level during washing and spinning... The lower the decibel reading, the more comfortable it is to use such a setting, especially at night;
- Dimensions (edit)... There are narrower models, there are wider ones. Some have more depth, others less. Start from the free space that you are ready to allocate for the washing machine;
- Variety of operating modes... Economy program, anti-crease, night mode, washing down and baby clothes - there are many programs available. Some of them will be very useful in everyday life;
- Control method: mechanical keys and controls, touch panel, combined version;
- Spin speed and its choice, spin class... The higher these indicators, the better the spinning of the washed items will be. True, for different manufacturers, the effect may differ even with the same indicators.
What is the best energy class?
Another important technical parameter. The energy efficiency class is indicated by the indices A, A +, A ++. The higher the class (that is, the more pluses the index has), the more energy-efficient your washing machine will be. There are other categories, B, C, D, E, F and G, but we are not interested in them.
The most economical option - A ++ - spends 0.15 kW / h on washing 1 kg of clothes. For A +, this figure is slightly higher - 0.17 kW / h. Class A cars consume 0.17-0.19 kW per hour. Also note that these are approximate values. In real conditions, additional factors affect energy consumption, such as operating mode, heating temperature, load level, heat transfer of the heating element (it is recommended to monitor its condition so that scale does not collect on the heating element).
