If you have decided to buy the washing machine, then prepare yourself for the fact that today it is quite difficult to make specific choice. The problem is that, having entered into shop, you will face huge variety of the models provided by the known global manufacturers. Such range can confuse the inexperienced buyer therefore before purchase it is desirable to get acquainted with the following councils.
Instruction
1. Before going to shop it is necessary to decide on the place where you install the washing machine. Dimensions and way of loading of your household appliances depend on it. Today top-loaded machines enjoy wide popularity. They take not enough place, do not demand additional space for opening of door. Such washing machine can be hidden with ease for any unused corner. In case you are going to choose top-loaded model, then it is recommended to check its sizes. As a rule, such washing machines have height – 85 cm, width – 55 cm, depth – from 30 to 65 cm.
2. Then it is necessary to calculate washing volume. The maximum loading of 3 kg will be suitable for lonely people. If your family consists of four – six people, then it is the best of all to buy the car with capacity of drum of 5 - 5.5 kg. Washing machines with bigger maximum loading are necessary for families from seven people.
3. The drum is place in which during all washing there will be all your clothes. Reels in washing machines have to be manufactured of stainless steel. The tank (capacity for drum) can be from stainless steel, plastic or the enameled surface. Washing machines with plastic tank differ in smaller noise, they spend the electric power more economically, absorb vibration, are not subject to corrosion.
4. Degree of efficiency of washing can be defined by Latin letters: A and B – the highest efficiency in combination with careful attitude to clothes; C, D, E – average value of efficiency; F and G – the lowest degree. The same letters designate extraction classes.
5. Then it is possible to pass to the choice of programs for washing. Recently there was opinion that what large number of settings the washing machine possesses, the more qualitatively it erases. Today the opposite trend is observed. The models possessing 3-4 programs for washing of different types of fabric enjoy the greatest popularity.
6. The washing machine can be connected to water supply system in two ways. Connection only to hot water will allow to save the electric power. However the lack of such method is that water temperature is not constant therefore the most washing machine should heat water. Connection only to cold water is more practical. But you remember that in that case it is necessary to buy additional resources for softening of water.
