HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR WASHING MACHINE

10 TIPS FOR CHOOSING YOUR WASHING MACHINE

Choosing a washing machine suited to your needs requires taking into account several important criteria. Here are some tips to help you make the right choice:

LOAD TYPE 

There are two main types of washing machines: front loading and top loading. Front-loading models are generally more water and energy efficient, and often offer more washing options.

Top-loading models, on the other hand, may be more convenient for some people because they require less bending over to load and unload laundry.

ABILITY 

The capacity of the washing machine, measured in kilograms, should match your needs. For a single person or a couple, a machine weighing 5 to 7 kg may be sufficient. For a family of four or more, consider a model weighing 8 kg or more.

Choosing the right capacity will help you save water and energy.

ENERGETIC EFFICIENCY

Energy efficiency is an important criterion not only for the environment but also for your wallet. Washing machines are rated from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) based on their energy consumption.

Choose devices with a good energy rating to reduce your electricity consumption.

SPIN SPEED 

Spin speed, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), affects the amount of water remaining in your clothes after washing. Faster spinning can reduce drying time.

However, some delicate fabrics require a lower spin speed to avoid damage.

PROGRAMS AND OPTIONS

Look into the different programs and options available. Some models offer specific programs for delicate textiles, sportswear, allergies, etc.

Options like delayed start or quick wash can also be practical depending on your lifestyle.

SOUND LEVEL

The sound level, expressed in decibels (dB), is particularly important if you live in a small space or if you intend to use your machine at night. Quieter models may be preferable in these situations.

EASE OF USE

Intuitive controls and a clear display can make using your washing machine more enjoyable. Some models even offer Wi-Fi connectivity so you can control your machine remotely via an app.

BRAND RELIABILITY AND AFTER-SALES SERVICE 

Choose a brand known for its reliability and make sure after-sales service is accessible. Reading consumer reviews and asking for recommendations can help you make an informed choice.

PRICE

Determine your budget before you start looking. Keep in mind that the most expensive models aren't necessarily the best for your needs, but investing in a quality device may be more economical in the long run.

DIMENSIONS

Make sure the washing machine you choose will fit in the dedicated space in your home. Check the dimensions of the product and leave some space around it for ventilation.

By taking these criteria into account, you will be able to choose a washing machine that will meet your specific needs, offering both performance and efficiency
