In the modern world, a washing machine is not a luxury item, but rather a household necessity. When such household appliances break down, personal discomfort arises and an urgent need is born to find a replacement. 
How to choose a good washing machine?
When choosing a washing machine, we least of all pay attention to its “trendy” design. As a rule, the choice is influenced by such indicators as:
- compactness,
- power,
- reliability and convenience.
An important question that arises when choosing a quality washing machine is its future location. Most often, a new machine takes the place of its predecessor, but over time, models of washing machines, their dimensions and functional qualities change in production.
And subsequently you have to choose a budget washing machine every time, like the first time. In this case, you will have to think again about the location of your purchase. And only then select according to the parameters listed below.
Automatic washing machines differ in the way things are loaded into the drum. There are 2 types of downloads:
- frontal;
- vertical.
Let's look at the pros and cons of these types of loading clothes into the washing machine.
A front-loading washing machine gives you significantly more options for its placement.You can choose from a very narrow model of a washing machine and place it in even the smallest bathroom, or a larger one.
The most pleasant feature of such washing machines is the ability to build them into the kitchen or “disguise” them in the closet.This will not only save space, but also add aesthetics to your room.
Washing machine dimensions
If you do not have the opportunity to allocate enough space for the washing machine, then you should pay attention to small-sized models. This is a great option if the wash volumes are not so large.
In this case, you must be aware that you are sacrificing the maximum load of the washing machine. A small-sized washing machine is small-sized in every sense.
Decide what the maximum load of your washing machine should be, for this you just need to calculate the approximate amount of laundry that you would like to wash for 1 load of the washing machine.
For a large family, a model with a maximum load of 10-15 kg is more suitable, and a standard washing machine with a maximum load of up to 5 kilograms will be enough to fulfill the needs of a single person.
Pay special attention to the main washing programs, as a minimum, they should correspond to standard types of fabrics. But not the fact that this will be enough, it is desirable to have at least a couple of washing programs for the same type of laundry.
Programs should differ in washing temperature, amount of water, etc. If there are not enough washing modes, choose a model with manual temperature setting.
What are the criteria for choosing a washing machine
Very often, beyond all measure, the value of the speed of the washing machine and its effect on the quality of washing are overestimated.In fact, the speed of revolutions affects the process of spinning clothes more than the washing itself, that is, the speed of revolutions of your washing machine depends only on how “dry” you take the laundry out of the drum.
For home use, a speed of 1000 rpm is enough; this will completely cover all the needs of home washing.
If you have actually decided on the type of automatic washing machine, but still have a little doubt, then you can compare the additional equipment that models of washing machines from different companies are equipped with.
Under additional equipment, first of all, we mean the presence of special modes.
Choose a brand of washing machine by function
Below is a list of the most popular additional features of washing machines:
- "Delayed Wash" - using this function, you have the opportunity to load the laundry into the machine, set the mode and set the time when the machine starts washing.
- "Speed wash" - this function allows you to quickly wash clothes if there is no need to wash stains.
- "Economy mode" allows you to save powder, water and time when the washing machine is not fully loaded.
- "Low Noise" - Some quality washing machines are manufactured with reduced noise levels.
- "Touch display" basically provides a more comfortable communication with the washing machine.
- "Protection from children" - this function allows you to protect the washing machine from children's pranks, provides at least a button lock.
In conclusion, we can advise you to choose an automatic washing machine slowly, after analyzing all its capabilities and your needs. After acquiring the desired model, it remains only to install it and connect it to all communications.
