What to focus on?

Before you go to the store, you need to weigh the pros and cons in advance. Focusing on advertising or on the twittering of sales consultants is at least unreasonable. In any case, you should not be the only source of information for you. So, here are the top priority options to look at from the start.

Cost

Most buyers of household appliances are by no means wealthy, so it is not surprising that they want to spend as little as possible on the purchase. Of course, not all expensive washers cost the declared money, but not every budget item deserves to be purchased. Italians quite rightly assert: “We are not so rich as to buy cheap things.” Therefore, it is necessary to choose a washing machine according to the characteristics that will correspond to the declared value.

Dimensions

In addition to the price, this is another limiting factor when buying, because the thing needs to be set so that it not only functions well, but also does not interfere. Most difficult is the owners of small apartments. Buyers are ready to come to terms with many of the drawbacks of the unit, if only it fits in a tiny kitchen or in a small bathroom. Well, not so wrong. A machine with flaws is still better than nothing. The main thing is that in other respects it satisfies the user.

Important! For cramped conditions, there are special narrow and vertical loading models that fit quite well in any bathroom. Find out more about them in our reviews:

Important! If one of the important points in choosing a washing machine for you is its mass, on our portal of useful tips you will find useful information on this issue in the article "The weight of the washing machine".

Reliability

This is a rather subjective concept. For some, there is an equal sign between reliability and a well-known brand; someone puts the assembly place of the unit at the forefront. And only a few pay attention to specific technical characteristics when choosing a washing machine.

Design

The appearance of the washer is far from the last criterion that is taken into account when buying. Who argues, it is necessary to enter the device into the overall design, but a beautiful appearance at the expense of technical parameters is not the best solution.

Trademark

Of course, ceteris paribus, technology from well-known manufacturers wins. At least, they have achievements and they will not palm off on you a clear marriage. On the other hand, many branded products are overpriced.If you are not willing to pay only for the brand, keep this in mind.

Sales

Very often, home appliances stores carry out sales and promotions. Prices are really attractive, but be careful not to purchase a defective, not very successful or morally outdated model. The discount price tag should not outweigh the remaining disadvantages of the purchase.

We take into account design and technical parameters

In addition to the basic (basic) characteristics, there are also additional ones that also need to be taken into account, it is also necessary to take into account such characteristics:

  • Type of loading.
  • The device and drum capacity.
  • Noise at work.
  • Functionality (a set of work programs).
  • Management specifics.
  • Energy Efficiency.

Important! Our portal has a lot of informative information about washing machines. Learn more about the features of technology of different brands:

Hatch location

All washers on the market are conditionally divided into 2 categories:

  • Front-loading (loading hatch integrated in the front wall).
  • With vertical loading (the hatch is in the upper part).

The specific selection of a washing machine is individual:

  • For a small bathroom or cramped pantry, a top-loading washing machine is suitable. As a rule, such cars are more “slender” than front-end cars.
  • The front can be placed in the kitchen under the countertop. With vertical loading, nothing like this can be done.
  • And again, the price. Most often, prices for “vertical” devices are higher, and their capacity is less.
  • Vertical loading is more ergonomic, because you do not need to bend over. At the same time, the front camera has its own amenities. It, for example, can be used as an additional shelf in the bathroom, which serves to place cosmetics and detergents.

Drum design

To choose the right washing machine according to its characteristics, you need to pay attention to how the drum is arranged:

  • If the family is large, then a capacious unit is suitable for you, into which you can immediately load a large amount of linen (8 kg or more). A machine with a capacious drum will come in handy even if you wash large things that simply cannot fit in a small drum.

Important! Important! Experts advise: before deciding on a specific model of the washing machine, calculate the approximate amounts of laundry that you have to wash. If the drum is designed for 8 kg of dry laundry, you can wash a large item and many small items in it.

  • For a small family of 2-3 people, a 4-5 kg ​​model is quite suitable.
  • For an independent young person without a couple, you can choose a washing machine with a tank volume of 3 kg, provided that there are few bulky items for washing in the house or they will be dry cleaned.

Important! Feel free to feel the drum. If the metal surface is uneven, with burrs, then it is better to refrain from such a purchase.

Noise at work

Considering the selection of the washing machine according to the parameters, one can not ignore the noise background. Of course, most buyers will vote in favor of a “quiet” home assistant. The advantage of silent models is that they can be used at night. With machines that make a lot of noise during the spin cycle, it is much more difficult. Such a “beast” will scare a child, and it will deliver many unpleasant minutes to neighbors (the acoustics in modern apartment buildings are excellent). And the noise of the washing machine during the spin cycle can be compared with a working drill or puncher.

How not to miss this moment? Pay attention to the technical specifications of the washing machine. So what can you see there?

  • If the noise level is 80-85 dB, it is better to look for another technique, since the normal noise level, which does not cause excessive discomfort, is 70-75 dB.
  • The same figures (70-75 dB) are optimal, since “quiet” units with a noise level of 60-65 dB spin at a low speed, which is not too good.

Functional

An inexperienced buyer will answer: the more features, the better. As the saying goes, "then we'll figure it out." In fact, this approach is far from always justified. How to choose the washing machine according to the parameters? Here are some things to consider:

  • For additional features that you may not need, you will have to pay extra money.
  • The richer the functional, the more complicated the electronic “filling” and the more likely it will break.
  • Some of the functions are practically useless, but you will have to pay for them.

Important! Many people need to purchase a washing machine in the country. Find out how to choose it correctly:

So - studying the functionality, ask yourself the question: do I need it? From the huge list of features, note which ones you really will use. As practice shows, the most popular features of washing machines are as follows:

  • Quick wash - within half an hour.
  • Synthetics.
  • Cotton - quick wash.
  • Outerwear items.
  • Delicate things.
  • Footwear.
  • Spin.
  • Rinsing.
  • Protection against accidental inclusion by children.
  • Easy ironing.
  • Half load.

Such a selection of the washing machine according to the parameters will be correct.

Control

Naturally, it is more advisable to buy models with an intuitive control panel, with Russian-language inscriptions. In the typewriter useful display, showing the progress of the program. Tracking is very convenient.

Important! The best in terms of ease of management is considered South Korean products. The most difficult to operate are appliances from Italy.

Energy efficiency

When choosing a washing machine according to the parameters, be sure to consider the energy class. The best units are those that are marked A + (there may be more pluses, and this indicates that the model has improved and its power consumption has been reduced without losing functionality).
