Thisguide examines the nuances of the design, installation and operation of household automatic machines and gives basic answers to the question of how to choose a washing machine. And in the final part of the review, brief recommendations are presented that will help extend the service life of your equipment.

Each washing machine with an automatic cycle has a spin function, but the degree of spin depends on the class of the machine and is determined by the speed of rotation of the drum. The higher the spin speed, the less time you will spend on drying the laundry. Current devices have a minimum spin speed of 800 rpm, and high-end models are able to perform spin at speeds up to 1600 rpm, allowing you to get almost dry laundry out of the machine. High-speed spin without fear should be used only for cotton underwear.

The presence of a drying mode in the machine it is not a fleeting function, but rather says that the washing unit belongs to a special class of products of a high price category and combines 2 devices. Drying things directly in the drum with the help of a stream of warm air accelerates and simplifies the final stage of washing, without requiring additional space for hanging laundry in the house or on the balcony. Note that in the laundry drying mode, the drum should be filled only half in order to provide better access for air circulation. For things that are subject to mandatory ironing, this mode is not so important, and if you just want to put dry laundry on the shelf, then it will be useful. Note that the drying mode in the washing machine is a simplified alternative to a stand-alone dryer, which does this job many times better. And if there are funds to buy a drying unit and a place where it can be placed, then such a machine is very justified.

Choosing the type and size of the automatic machine, you should start from the free space in the room where you plan to place the washing machine. If finding a place is not a problem, then you can safely take the front model, and if there is a shortage of space, it is better to stop at the device with vertical loading. This choice is explained by the fact that the opening door for loading laundry "eats up" additional space near the washing machine. And this is especially important for front models, where the door opens sideways, and less important for vertical machines, the hatch cover of which is tilted up.

The type of device does not affect the quality of washing and pressing in any way, but in addition to the features of loading laundry, it has differences in the dimensions of the models. If vertical machines have standard dimensions of 85x40x60 cm, then there is a dimensional classification for front models:

Another important difference separating washing equipment with frontal and vertical loading is the maximum capacity of the drum or the weight of dry laundry that the machine can wash in one cycle. A maximum of 7 kg of dirty laundry is placed in the drum of the vertical model, and advanced front-loading devices can handle washing up to 12 kg of dry cotton laundry.

There are two installation options: as a freestanding washing machine, or as part of the technical equipment built into the furniture set. You should know that to place a furniture cabinet in a niche, it is better to buy built-in models of washing machines that are more expensive than conventional appliances, but are better adapted for installation in a closed niche thanks to a special height adjustment system of the legs. However, it is not uncommon for ordinary devices to be built into the furniture wall or under the countertop.

Washing machines also differ in the type of torque transfer from the engine to the drum. In most models, it is carried out using a belt drive, but there are also direct-drive devices that have a rigid connection of the motor shaft to the drum shaft. Such designs, due to the absence of an intermediate transmission mechanism, are more reliable and have a reduced noise level. The main supplier of the market of direct-drive washing appliances is LG, which was the pioneer of this technology.

The classification of models of automatic machines by the quality of washing and pressing for simplicity is displayed as a designation of one of the letters of the Latin alphabet, decreasing as the class deteriorates:

If everything is more or less clear with the quality of washing, then the spin class characterizes the residual humidity of the laundry. Moreover, the lower it is, the wetter the laundry will be after pressing. It makes no sense to consider lower washing/spin classes, because they no longer meet modern requirements.

Similarly, the situation is with the power consumption of models. You can learn more about the classification of energy consumption of washing machines in our article"From A+++ to G: energy efficiency classes of household appliances".

The basic features that are available in all washing machines of new generations suggest a variety of options for washing clothes from various fabrics, as well as the presence of a spin function. The number of washing and spin programs can vary significantly and include either a minimum set of 8-10 preset modes in inexpensive models, or a full hardware of dozens of automatic cycles in expensive devices. Regardless of the richness of the software equipment, all machines have the ability to wash products from the main types of fabrics:

You should pay attention to the presence of such a "bonus" mode as "quick wash", which is necessary not so much to remove dirt as to make the underwear fresh, as well as the "half load" mode, which helps out a lot when there are not enough things accumulated for a full load of the drum. However, you should not chase an excess of programs, most of which are unlikely to be in demand. So, for example, the washing mode of children's clothes, popular in young families, is absolutely not necessary for a lonely bachelor who prefers washing jeans.

The vast majority of washing machines today are equipped with an electronic control system, which in fact can vary significantly in the convenience of settings. It can be a simplified system with rotary programme selection selectors and LED indicators, or a more advanced device with a large digital display and touch buttons. The most "fancy" devices are equipped with intelligent FuzzyLogic control systems that control most of the operating parameters of the machine. Smart electronics effortlessly adjusts the operation of the unit in the best way, weighs the laundry, selects the optimal temperature and duration of washing, sets the rinsing and spin modes, monitors the excess of foaming and balances the drum with uneven distribution of laundry.

Useful additions bring a new level of comfort to working with the machine and provide a higher quality of washing. Therefore, it is natural that the presence of such functions significantly increases the cost of the washing unit. But whether they are really necessary to overpay for them is up to you.

The purchase of a model of a world-famous brand is not a guarantee of long-term and trouble-free operation of the device. Often, without knowing it, we shorten the "life" of home appliances by rash actions. In order for the washing machine to last longer, it is necessary to adhere to simple operating rules:

Now that you know a little more about washing machines, it will be much easier to choose the "same" model that is needed for the house. And by asking the right questions, you will understand that a modern washing machine is not necessarily an expensive machine. It may well be a high-quality model from a popular brand without unnecessary functions, for which there is no point in overpaying. It remains only to clarify the dimensions of the device so that it fits optimally in the place assigned to it.
