Types of washing machines activator

Designs of these types differ in their characteristic features and the presence of various additional functions. But the common feature is that they all have a vertical load of laundry.

All models of washing activator type machines have three types:

Conventional designs.

Conventional devices contain such parts as: a tank, a shaft (activator) and a manual spin, presented in the form of two rollers connected to each other, which scroll the wet things among themselves.

The size of the gap between the two rollers can be adjusted manually. There is a handle attached to the lower roller for scrolling through things.

Models of the conventional type include:

• Oka,
• Malyutka,
• Fairy,
• Saturn 1616.

Semi-automatic machines .

In such devices there are two tanks, one of which is the washing process, and the second is spinning things. Once the washing process is over (washing and rinsing), things must be manually dragged into the centrifuge (the second tank) to spin. The spinning is done automatically.

To date, modern semi-automatic machines have the following functions: delicate washing mode, reverse, timer with a timer to select the washing process.

Semi-automatic models include:

• Belosnezhka 55,
• Unit 210,
• Siberia,
• Renovo WS 40.

Automatic machines

Automatic machines are quite complex devices that carry dozens of different functions: boiling, water heating, water draining, drying, air bubble rinse and others. They also have modes of delicate washing and washing wool.

Automatic machines do not have any of the disadvantages presented above, except one - a fairly high price.

The difference between the automatic and drum model machines is only in the fact that there is an activator-impeller in the tank of the automatic machine.

The automatic type models include:

• Evgo EWP 4026 N,
• Redber WMA 5521,
• Mabe LMR 1083 PBYRO,
• Whirpool Vantage.

Choosing the best activator washing machine

Washing machines, or rather models, are quite a large number. Basically, such designs of the activator type are used by those people who, due to circumstances, move very often or live in small apartments/remote areas.

We will tell you how to pick up a washing machine, and what to pay attention to when choosing. Criteria for choosing an activator design.

1. The first criterion. Role.
   Set the bar for your future machine and determine what role it should play. If you need to wash a small amount of things quickly, then you need a "Malyutka". It can hold up to 27 liters of water in its tank and for 1 cycle is quite capable of washing up to 1 kilogram of laundry. There is a hose for draining the water used. Ideal for cottages and villages.
2. The second criterion. The brand.
   Pay attention to the manufacturing company. Here is a list of the best: "Feya", "VolTech", "Malyutka" (Russian manufacturers), Renovo, Maytag, Daewoo, Mabe (foreign manufacturers).
3. The third criterion. The principle of operation of the activator.
   The modern type of construction is a washing machine with an activator-impeller.
   The difference is that the impeller has its own rather complex trajectory of movement. The best form is a bell-shaped impeller with convexities of different sizes.
4. The fourth (and not unimportant) criterion. Design.
   Modern washing machines of the activator type come in elegant cases. The top cover can go with a plastic material, which gives you the opportunity to monitor the washing of things.
