What questions should you ask before purchasing a washing machine?

When looking for a washing machine, it is crucial to do some research to determine the option that suits your need the best. So before you go out to bring home a washer, here are some of the questions that you should ask before purchasing a washing machine:

• What is the most reliable washing machine?
• What are the features of a washing machine you prefer the most?
• What does your daily clothes load look like?
• How much space you have to fit a washing machine?
• Do you need a front-load or a top-load?

Main Washing Machine Features Need to be Considered

In deciding on purchasing a washing machine, you need to consider various factors—those including its types, performance, sizes and capacity, efficiency, and design.

1-　Different Washing Machine Types

Front Load

A front load washing machine is the best option if you have a small space for your washer and need to run many loads at once efficiently.

A front load washing machine is typically available in two variants: with or without a dryer. This washer with a 2-in-1 dryer feature is an excellent choice for those looking to save time.

In addition, several washing machine brands do also offer hot water and steam feature. This will help the cycle option to break down stains more effectively due to the high temperature of the function.

The intelligent inverter motor is another important feature of a front load washing machine. In general, a front load washing machine's inverter technology optimizes its speed based on the load. This helps with energy conservation and efficiency.

Top load washers offer shorter cycle times and are less expensive to buy and repair. This machine typically uses a straightforward control panel to select the type of cycles you want, and this panel is a no-brainer to use.

A top load washing machine is classified into fully automatic and semi-automatic (twin tub).

A fully automatic washing machine is the most common type of modern washer. Since you only need to press a button to do your laundry, a fully automatic washer requires the least amount of human effort to clean.

In the meantime, doing laundry with a semi-automatic top load washing machine requires some manual intervention. There are two bathtubs. The first tub is for washing, and the second is for drying.

If the clothes need to be dried after washing, they must be manually transferred to the drying tub for the drying cycle.

Furthermore, top-load washing machines are classified into two types: inverter and non-inventer. The inverter motor rotates the tub without using a belt and pulley system instead of delivering power directly from the motor to the tub. This lowers energy consumption while increasing efficiency.

However, the bottom line is that neither one is significantly better than the other – it all comes down to your specific needs and preferences.

2- Washing performance

We can refer to the front load washer's drum or the top load washer's tub in terms of washing performance.

Stainless steel tubs or drums of washing machines typically outperform plastic or enamel tubs or drums. Stainless steel tubs and drums are the most durable because they resist corrosion, withstand higher temperatures, and spin faster.

The inner barrel of the stainless steel tub has a pebble-shaped and irregular surface that aids in thoroughly removing stubborn stains.

Furthermore, the cyclone effect within the pulsator design can generate strong water flow, minimize water resistance, and improve cyclone water flow.

Due to the fact that higher spin speeds can remove more water from clothes, stainless tubs and drums are more energy-efficient.

The size of the washing tub determines the capacity (kg). A large-capacity washer may be preferred by families with children who do multiple loads of laundry per day. Smaller-capacity models that use less water and energy, on the other hand, can be more cost-effective for singles and couples.

Capacity recommendation:

• 7-8 kg suitable for a household of 1-2 person
• 9-10kg washing machine ideal for 3-4 person
• 11-14kg washer fits better for a household more than 4 person

4- Energy and water-saving

Investing in an energy-efficient washing machine is an excellent way to reduce your environmental impact while also saving you money at once.

Front load washing machines with inverters have been shown to use less energy and water than other types of washing machines without sacrificing washing performance.

Therefore, you should look for an inverter in a washing machine so that your laundry can be done with less energy and water.

5- Design

Design of washing machine also becomes one of the most important considerations that should not be overlooked.

It is crucial to consider how much space the washer will take up in your laundry room. As a result, you will not choose an incorrect washer size that will not fit in the available space.

A washing machine with an elegant and stunning design, on the other hand, is a plus. Choosing one that complements your home's interior design can provide you with a more modern laundry room at home.

6 - Other feature examples that ease your burdens

When purchasing a washing machine, you should take into account a variety of other features too. Here are some features that can assist you with your laundry:

• Quick Wash:

• This feature shortens laundry time by running washing processes concurrently, allowing you to finish your chores faster and with cleaner laundry.

• Washing program:

• Some washing machines come with a variety of intelligent washing programs that are tailored to your specific needs. Each cycle can be optimized based on the amount and type of laundry to be washed.
