Quiet washing machine: tips for choosing one

The machine does the washing. The child is resting.Gone are the days when housewives had a hard time with laundry. The time when they soaked their clothes and bedding overnight, when they would tear their hands to blood to get rid of all kinds of stains on the collars of shirts.

Scientists, thanks to their latest developments, gave us the opportunity to look at the washing process from another, more convenient side.

Each year, each manufacturer shows the world the most new and improved models of household appliances that will greatly facilitate the work at home. Among such equipment is impossible not to tell about the silent automatic washing machine.

Buying a silent device

When you decide to buy a good washing machine, you may be confused about the choice and you are unlikely to be able to buy a machine that is comfortable enough for you to be happy with for its lifespan.

Machines in the row of silent

There are many criteria on this and if you study them, you can pick a flawless model of household appliances. The most important criterion that washing machine buyers want to see is silent operation. Not many brand companies can provide a model with this attribute.

It's not as easy to buy a silent unit for your home as it seems at first glance. Advertisements may convince you that their design makes no extra noise and works in perfect silence, but never believe it until you see for yourself. You can be convinced by user reviews of the silent washing machine, and by looking at other modifications.

Silent Washing Machine Specifications

We can help you in choosing a silent washing machine if you have no idea which of all the presented for you the quietest.

One of the easiest ways to check is to look in your owner's manual. In it there should be a mandatory item of the noise level of the machine, the parameter of which is measured in decibels (dB).

Measuring the noise level

According to this parameter, you can easily and quickly enough compare the selected units with each other, and take the most silent one. To understand in detail the characteristics of your chosen model, you should also know its operating mode.

During spinning the noise level in all possible variations can vary from 59 to 83 dB. These indicators were measured during the spin at the maximum spin speed and the highest spin speed. A separate group of combined silent washing machines is formed, in which the noise level index is less than 70 dB.

Standard mode of silent washing machines

A small part of the washing machines from the above group can make impossible sounds during normal operation. In order not to choose such a model, it is also necessary to look at the noise level during normal operation.

The lowest value of this indicator when performing standard procedures is 39 dB, and the highest should not jump over the mark of 76 dB.

But it is still worth understanding that a small (but the main) share of noise will be present in the wringing. If the pump makes a loud thundering sound when you pump water into the machine, it will be this (your) design and not the entire model line. If the sound is present, then it is required to contact the service center, where you will be happy to help eliminate this kind of failure.

Silent equipment models

Basically, every manufacturer puts on their appliances special inscriptions and stickers, which tell consumers about the peculiarities of work. In addition to stickers, this group of designs should carry other differences from other internal modifications.

The main characteristic of any unit is advanced noise isolation. All interior cabinet walls are required to be covered with a special sound-absorbing material. Also, all silent washing machines have a motor that is driven at a high frequency.

The most common are three-phase induction motors, which are much quieter than their collector "buddies. It is worth noting that any quiet unit costs much more than a simple version.
