Washing machines review
Criterias of choice
The washing machine is an appliance with a classic design. There are models with vertical and front loading. Inside the type itself, they differ little from each other, perhaps in color and number of buttons. Therefore, when compiling our rating, we paid least attention to the design of the models, but carefully studied their main characteristics:
- Tank capacity - determines how much dry laundry can be loaded into the washing machine at one time.
- Noise level during different programs and in spin mode. It is important that the operation of the machine does not interfere with the comfortable life of all family members, so it is important to pay attention to this criterion when choosing a model.
- Dimensions - affect how much space the washing machine will take up. You need to choose a washing machine that will look organically in the room, without standing out from the rest of the furniture.
- The number of operating modes and the ability to configure the necessary parameters.
- Method of controlling the washing machine: buttons, sensor or rotary mechanical switches.
- Program parameters: their duration, spin speed.
- Availability of additional functions.
- The cost does not exceed 15 thousand rubles for each model.
