Important characteristics of a washing machine
Generally speaking the choice of the type of washing machine too depends on certain factors like:
Type of function: Both the semi-automatic and automatic varieties have their individual advantages and disadvantages. But taking the present day lifestyle and schedule into consideration, buying an automatic washing machine proves to be better option since:
- It completes the washing, rinsing and drying processes without the need for human intervention and
- Switches off at the end of the whole process on its own.
Load-type: An automatic washing machine can be of two types
- Front load type : Front load washing machine boasts of many added features and a better wash
- Top load type : Top loading fully automatic washing machine is more suitable for the Indian environment because it is:
- Relatively inexpensive,
- Easier to maintain and handle,
- Lightweight with an ergonomic design and
- Also allows for clothes to be loaded even after the onset of the washing cycle.
Capacity of the machine: This depends on the usage of the buyer as it defines the amount of clothes that can be washed at a time. Generally in India, washing machines are considered to be long term investments. Hence while determining the capacity of the washing machine, the following two things have to be taken into consideration like:
- The present size of the family and
- Any possible additions in the near future.
Other features: Some other features which are common to washing machines and which make for a better user experience include:
- Fuzzy logic which intuitively chooses the washing process, the time and water required depending on the weight of clothes put into the tub,
- Delay start which enables the user to set a particular time for the start of the washing machine,
- Child lock which makes it a safer option to use especially with kids around since it locks the gadget panel so that kids are not able to meddle with it out of curiosity.
Budget:
For an Indian household, the ultimate decision of the washing machine bought also depends on the predetermined budget. Hence even before embarking on the buying spree, a budget needs to be arrived at and then the machine which offers the best value for that budget needs to be purchased.
A washing machine should be well-thought after buy depending on the required functionality and usage and the schedule and size of the family. A machine combining the three processes of washing, rinsing and drying is always a better buy in terms of flexibility of use and preference. Of course the energy star ratings of the same should also be checked before making the final choice.
