Washing machines: about the varieties
Automatic devices in this group can support one of two boot options:
- Vertical.
This is a convenient option for apartments where there is not much free space. Compactness is one of the main advantages. In addition, when servicing equipment, the user does not have to bend over. The lid is on top, open it up too. Buttons help set specific modes for organizing work. 85 by 60 cm are standard dimensions for equipment.
- Frontal models.
Standard types of washing machines equipped with transparent loading hatches on the front.Many models come complete with a touch panel, which is used for control. There are also options where you can additionally load more items until the initial washing process is over. 90 by 40 are the dimensions of most products in this group.
What to look for when choosing?
There are only 6 main parameters that deserve the most attention.
The washing tank has a certain depth:
- More than 55 cm.
- 45-55 cm.
- 35-44 cm.
- Less than 35 centimeters.
The last two groups are narrow and very narrow. The top washing machines of 2018 also contains these positions.
The first two are, respectively, deep and standard options.
The depth of the tank determines the overall depth that a particular model will have.
Spin class – affects what things will be like after passing the corresponding stage.
- Indicates less than 45%.
- B – 45-54%.
- C – 54-63%.
- D – 63-72%.
- E – 72-81%.
- F – 81-91%.
- G – more than 90%.
Class A machines come out the driest. G is the lowest indicator in this area.
Additional tips
Washing class - indicates the productivity of the device itself. Typically, the more expensive the model, the higher this indicator. This parameter allows you to understand how much any contaminants are cleaned during operation. The higher the letter in the washing class, the better a particular device performs. This saves time, effort and money.
As for the washing speed, it ranges from 800 to 1600 rpm. 1000 rpm is the optimal value for domestic use. Higher values will be relevant for serious industrial production. And conditions with serious loads. Therefore, the 2018 rating of washing machines contains models with average performance.
