Today, a washing machine is not a luxury, but a very necessary equipment in the household, especially if small children live in the apartment or in the house. The choice of such devices is really huge, however, choosing the right product is not so easy.
Many people do not even know what exactly should be paid attention to when choosing such a technique. It is for them that our today's article. We will present to your court the best in terms of reliability models of washing machines in 2019 and at the same time we will tell you by what parameters it is necessary to choose these devices. Let’s start with this.
Summary of the rating:
How to choose the most reliable washing machine?
Unfortunately, for most people, the space in the apartment is very limited, so installing a full-fledged washing machine is not always possible. In this regard, before going to the store, you should decide where it will be located, after which it will be possible to choose products depending on dimensions. External dimensions are not affected at all by reliability. The next important factor is the maximum usable volume of the drum - for a family of two or three people, a product with a maximum load of about 5 kg is suitable, but if the family is larger, preference should be given to more capacious products.
The material from which the tank is made directly affects the life of the washing machine. They can be made of polymeric materials - they weigh a little, work absolutely silently, retain heat very well, but they are very easy to damage. Drums made of stainless steel are much more durable - they retain their original characteristics for a long time.
Laundry in the machine can be loaded through the front door or a vertical hatch. Each of these species has its positive and negative points. In particular, when using a front-loading machine, you can observe through a glass hatch what exactly happens in the drum. Products with vertical loading do not need a large amount of free space, in addition, they can load laundry after the washing cycle has been started.
The parameters of the washing itself will also have to be considered. Pay attention to the number of programs: today you can find products that have great potential in this regard. In addition to the standard modes, there are also programmable ones, which the user sets according to the parameters necessary for him. The amount of energy spent per wash cycle (in other words, the economy of the model) is also desirable to take into account.
Many products have additional capabilities - various control systems, which include sensors for monitoring water quality, child protection systems, and so on. Best of all, if the unit is equipped with special protection against leaks such as Aqua Stop - it will not allow water to spill out of the machine, it is able to save the apartment and lower floors from flooding.
When choosing models for inclusion in our rating of the best reliable washing machines, we took into account all the factors discussed earlier. However, several other points were taken into account, in particular, user reviews and the ratio of price and quality of products.We tried to include here only products belonging to the low and medium price range, so that the products were within the means of most of our readers. Now let's look at the useful features of each model.
