Choosing the narrowest washing machine
- You should also think about what budget you can allocate to purchase a device, and the cost should not be the main part of the choice, because the high price may depend on the functions that you do not need.
- To choose a model, you need to decide with what load you will buy the machine: with vertical or frontal. Front-loading will allow you to put the unit in the built-in furniture, but it needs space in the front so you can open the door and load the laundry. You can't put a unit with a vertical load under the sink or countertop, but it will take up a little space in the bathroom. Such a unit is compact, does not require additional space when loading laundry.
- To purchase the narrowest automatic machine, effectively washing things, and at the same time saving energy, pay attention to the class of washing. Washing machines come in classes from A to G. But the highest quality for washing is class A, and for spinning you can take a washing machine of class A, B, C.
- Pay attention to the capacity of the loading tank. It should hold at least 3.5 kg of dry laundry. If you live alone, this load is enough for you. But if you have a large family, the amount of laundry that should be placed in the drum should be at least 4.5 kg.
- The best spin is 1000-1200 rpm. There are units that have a much higher number of revolutions up to 2000. The clothes come out of such devices almost dry, you can already iron without wasting time on drying. But it should be noted that the radius of rotation of the drum of a narrow washing machine is small, so the quality of spinning in such equipment will be much lower than in full-sized devices. Modern washing machines have an independent choice of spin mode.
- When buying a device, look at what material the drum is made of. If it is made of stainless steel, then you are guaranteed a long life. But composite materials make the machine silent. Therefore, when choosing a device, decide what is more important to you: a long life or quiet operation of the device.
- When choosing washing programs, you should pay attention to their quality rather than quantity. It happens that the consumer does not use many of them, applies only 2-3 programs.
- It would be good if the washing machine had a function of leakage protection. If an accidental water leak occurs, the machine (electromagnetic valve) automatically shuts off the water supply so as not to flood the neighbors. Not all machines have this function. Some have a partial leakage protection. In this case, you need to buy a special hose that is put on the device. Such a machine is expensive.
- The machine should be stylish, so that by design it also fits into the built-in furniture.
- In washing machines, there are various control sensors: imbalance control, foaming, water quality, dissolving detergent, anti-crushing protection. All these achievements of engineering, of course, it is not bad to have, but it is worth thinking whether you need these features to pay a high price for them.
- When buying a narrow washing machine, consider that it should have several counterweights to ensure its stability.
Balanced models of household appliances without a drive belt, the absence of unnecessary drive mechanisms in them saves energy. Washing such a device is cleaner because of the accurate and fast motor.
