It is necessary to comprehensively consider many aspects such as type, function, appearance, price and product parameters.
Today, Xiao Ai will share with you the key points and precautions for choosing a household washing machine, and also remind everyone to consider the space planning of the housework area when decorating each household when choosing a washing machine.
Choose according to the type of washing machine
Front-loading washing machine:
The washing effect is relatively better, it is not easy to wear out clothes, it is suitable for washing clothes with high-grade fabrics, and clothes that are easily damaged. It is more energy-saving, water and electricity-saving.
Washing machine:
The washing effect is relatively good, especially for the heavily stained clothes. However, it is easy to cause a certain amount of wear and tear on clothes, and large clothes are easy to get entangled, which is more water-consuming than drum washing machines.
Washing and drying machine:
With both washing and drying functions, it is suitable for families with limited space or need to process clothes quickly.
8 key points for choosing a household washing machine
1. Select variable frequency motor
The inverter motor has low noise, multiple functions and good washing effect, which is better than that of the fixed frequency motor. BLDC motors are recommended for drum washing machines, and DD direct drive motors are recommended for drum washing machines.
2. Choose a level of energy efficiency
The energy efficiency level of washing machines is divided into one, two and three grades, and the first energy efficiency is better than the second and third energy efficiency, which is more energy-saving and power-saving.
3. Select the capacity according to the number of laundry
The capacity of the washing machine is large and small, mainly according to the number of laundry in the family, and the large capacity is chosen if there are many people. Generally speaking, a family of 4 should choose 6-8 kg, if there are more people or often wash large items, 8-10 kg is more suitable.
4. Be optimistic about the drainage method
There is a difference between upper and lower drain washing machines, and if you are a small apartment or a family with limited space, you can choose an upper drain washing machine.
This kind of price is low, and there are many options for model types. If you want to embed the cabinet washing machine, choose drainage, drain quickly, close to the sewer.
5. Choose the right inner cylinder material
If you want to be cost-effective, choose stainless steel inner cylinder for washing machines, which is better than plastic inner cylinder, more durable and less wear and tear on clothes, and moderately priced.
Titanium is relatively lightweight and corrosion-resistant, but the price is relatively high.
6. Pick the right washing ratio
The washing machine wash ratio represents the ability to effectively remove stains during the cleaning process, and the higher the wash ratio value, the stronger the cleaning ability.
Xiao Ai recommends the ≥ of 0.8 for the washing machine and the 1.03 > for the drum washing machine.
7. Be optimistic about the size of the process
The washing machine is chosen according to the size of the space, and the main focus is on thickness and height.
Especially for embedded families, for example, if you want to embed a balcony or cabinet, you must choose an ultra-thin body model, generally no more than 600mm, and the thickness of ordinary washing machines is mostly above 630mm, which obviously cannot meet the needs of embedding, but if it is placed separately, it can be.
8. Look at the price
Families on a budget who don't mind wear and tear can opt for a cheap front-loading washing machine. The second is the more commonly used and moderately priced washing machine, with a variety of styles and functions.
If you live in the south, you have a need for drying clothes, and the space at home is limited, you can choose a washing and drying machine.
