How to choose a washing machine while optimizing available resources? When the time comes to change it, you need to have clear ideas, to bring home a model that is not only convenient from an economic point of view, but also functional. And, perhaps, with the right dimensions to fit in the best way in the environment intended to accommodate it.
Types of washing machines
If we start from the dimensional discussion, the types of washing machines to choose from are the following:
- top loading, preferred by all those who have to live with limited space and by those who have difficulty bending their back excessively to load and unload laundry. Usually these are models characterized by a width of about 40 centimeters, therefore narrower than the front-loading model and, tending to take up more space above the washing machine, while not requiring any in particular in front of the porthole opening;
- front loading, the most requested of all, able to ensure a higher number of revolutions and usually more advanced technological levels. However, they sometimes have a limited load capacity and do not allow the upper shelf of the washing machine to be used as a support surface for other objects or a dryer;
- slim model, a category that includes 46-centimeter washing machines. Increasingly widespread, they are able to reach 7 kilograms in terms of load capacity without apparent effort. Some models of slim washing machine they are able to go down to 33 centimetres, but the poor load capacity of many prevents their significant diffusion.
Choosing a washing machine based on price
Of course, in addition to the dimensional aspect, the economic aspect can also be important, especially in light of the recurring economic crises that are eroding family budgets, preventing necessary expenses. As far as washing machines are concerned, we can outline the following ranges:
- economic band, which includes models costing less than 250 euros. Although these appliances do not boast a high level of technology or an intriguing design, they are still able to ensure a fairly solid average quality in washing;
- middle band, which includes washing machines whose cost is positioned in a range between 250 and 400 euros. In this case it is possible to ensure models capable of displaying a refined design, a wide range of programs and a significant load capacity. To these characteristics are then added advanced functions capable of making washing more effective and reducing consumption;
- high-end, from 400 euros and up. The top models are able to easily repay the higher cost by offering buyers a series of highly advanced features, capable of mixing comfort and practicality at the highest level. In particular, they propose the inverter motor as a common denominator capable of unifying all the products in this range, the use of which ultimately allows for the optimization of performance and consumption.
