What are the Factors to Consider Before Buying a Washing Machines ?
SIZE
How big is your family?
Select the appropriate size of a washing machine according to your family's needs.
TYPE
What type is right for you?
The type of washing machine you settle for determines the convenience, performance, and energy consumption. There are broadly two types of top-load type of washing machines: semi-automatic and fully automatic. Semi-automatic models are cheaper, and one needs to manually move clothes from the wash tub to the spin tub. They are suitable if you want a cheap, water-conserving option. Fully automatic machines, either top-load or front-load, make laundry much easier with a single step. Usually more expensive, the front-load models are softer on clothes, saving water and energy too. They also come with some rather advanced features like various programs of wash and larger spin speeds. Decide which one would be the best type for your household needs, based on your budget, the fabrics you usually wash, and how often you need to do it.
