What a good automatic washing machine. Which brand of washing machine is the most reliable? Tips for choosing a washing machine. Loading type: front or vertical

As you know, in the modern world of household appliances, there are washing equipment of various types of loads, dimensions, energy consumption class and maximum capacity. We will now talk in more detail about how to choose an automatic washing machine in 2018 based on price and quality!

Load Type

There are two main types of download:

To choose the right washing machine by load type, you need to rely on how much free space you have. Of course, the first option is preferable in terms of functionality.

Dimensions

Case sizes may vary depending on loading type and capacity. As a rule, for washing machines with a front cover, the standard dimensions can be:

• width – 60 cm;
• height – 85 cm;
• depth 32-60 cm.

As for the second option (top loading), the standard dimensions are:

• width – 40-45 cm;
• height – 85 cm;
• depth – 60 cm.

It all depends, again, on the size of the room. If you have free space, it is better to buy a full-fledged model with a depth of 60 cm. For small bathrooms, it is recommended to choose a narrow washing machine with a depth of 33 cm, which will save a sufficient amount of space!

Advice from the experts

Maximum capacity

Another important criterion that directly depends on the purpose of the equipment and the number of people in the family.

The maximum clothing capacity can be:

• 3.5 kg (at a depth of 32 cm)
• 4.5 kg (depth 40 cm)
• 5-7kg (depth 60 cm)

The first two options are best chosen for a small family (2-3 people). The latter is for a family of 4 people, as well as for enterprises.

Tank material

The quality of washing, quiet operation and durability of the equipment will depend on the material of the machine’s tank. Now let’s look at what tank material is best to choose so that you don’t regret it after the purchase.

There are three main materials of manufacture:

• Stainless steel. The most durable (up to 80 years of service), but at the same time the worst in terms of noise level during operation and has a high cost. We do not approve at all of choosing a washing machine with a stainless steel tank.
• Enameled steel. It is not used in modern models; moreover, it has negative reviews not only from buyers, but also from specialists selling this equipment.
• Plastic (polyplex, polynox, carbon). A worthy alternative to stainless steel if money is an issue. Modern composite materials do not make washing silent and, moreover, due to their thermal conductivity, they can save a little electricity. The only drawback is that the service life is no more than 25 years, although this minus is quite insignificant (few people buy equipment that lasts a quarter of a century).

When choosing between the first and third options, rely on your financial capabilities. Both tanks can be of quite high quality; the main thing is to check the integrity of the coating before purchasing so that there is no defect. This point is relevant if you decide to choose a cheap washing machine, for example, for your dacha.

Connection type

There are two main connection methods:

• to cold water;
• to cold and hot water.

In the first case, energy costs will be higher, but the washing will be of higher quality (since the machine itself heats the water to the appropriate temperature). When both cold and hot water are connected, a problem may arise with unstable temperature in the hot circuit (especially true for rural areas), which will undoubtedly affect the washing of clothes. Based on this, we advise you to choose a more reliable washing machine that connects only to the cold water supply.

Control method

The control panel can be mechanical or electronic. Mechanical buttons and rotary switches are more reliable to use and will not affect the cost of the equipment.

Modern electronic control - touch display is a step into the future, but does not have decent quality (the sensor quickly fails). In addition, the electronic option can greatly affect the cost of the washing machine you decide to choose.

Of course, it is better to give preference to classic buttons; the main thing is to check in the store how well they are pressed. If you still decide to choose a more modern option, then look at the menu on the display so that it is clear, and most importantly - in Russian!

Classification of main parameters

There are three main parameters: energy consumption, spin and wash. They all have their own class, designated in English letters from A (that is, high) to G (low). It is clear that the higher the class you choose, the better the characteristics of the washing machine will be.

For your attention, a detailed transcript:

Manufacturer

It is very important to choose the right washing machine by manufacturer, because... its reliability, durability and, as you understand, price will depend on this. If you don’t know which brand of machine is better, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the most popular brands in 2018:

• AEG, Miele - occupy the top of the rating and are the most expensive and high quality.
• Bosch, Electrolux, Siemens - in the “price-quality” category are the most optimal brands of imported assembly.
• LG, Ariston, Samsung, Indesit, Beko - popular middle-class equipment, inexpensive but of good quality.
• Atlant, Malyutka, Vyatka are the most famous domestic manufacturers with positive customer reviews and a relatively cheap price.

It is impossible to say clearly which brand is more durable and better than all the others, because... All of the above manufacturers produce fairly reliable equipment. For home use, you need to choose washing machines of the second and third row. They have a fairly good build, long service life and at the same time a reasonable price. In addition, budget models are suitable for use in the country, because... In this case, there is no point in spending money on multifunctional equipment.

Additional features

The versatility of a washing machine is not a significant parameter when choosing. This is due to the fact that all models have a single standard set of functions, which will be sufficient for home use (synthetics, wool, quick wash, cotton, colored fabrics, washing children's clothes, etc.).

Very often, the buyer overpays a sufficient amount of money for absolutely unnecessary functionality, for example, drying clothes. On the one hand, it is a convenient function, but on the other hand, it is used extremely rarely. This is due to the fact that when the drum is fully loaded, drying is impossible; you need to take out half of the things, and then just turn on this function. Now we will tell you what you need to pay attention to when choosing a washing machine in order to avoid overpaying extra money.

1. Fuzzy Logic— based on what type of items are loaded into the drum and how many of them, selects the most economical type of washing, which allows you to reduce energy costs and water consumption.
2. Intensive wash, removing stains.
3. Bubble wash- a technology that allows you to create a large number of bubbles, facilitating better dissolution of the powder and removing dirt from things. It should be noted that bubble washing allows you to remove stains and dirt even when washed in cold water.
4. The spin speed should be at least 800 rpm, which is quite enough to gently squeeze water out of things.
5. Child lock(control panel lock).
6. Direct Drive- rather refers to the design features of the washing machine, because is a direct drive, instead of the outdated belt drive; Direct drive makes washing silent, and the washing machine body itself is more compact.
7. Delayed start— you can start the machine with a time delay, which is very convenient if you need things to be clean in the morning or when you come home.
8. Aquastop- protection against water leaks, an equally important function that must be present.
9. Imbalance control - the washing machine automatically monitors the balancing of the drum during spinning.
10. Foam level control— automatic control of foam formation during the washing process.
11. Noise level- the less, the better. A level of up to 50 dB during washing is considered a good result.
- a useful feature for those who constantly forget some dirty things, and we’ll already turn on the washing mode. Reloading laundry allows you to open the lid at any time and add the necessary items to the drum.

There is no need to talk about the benefits of a washing machine in the house - it has made life easier for millions of people. But every year more and more models of various modifications appear on the market. How to choose a washing machine that meets all the necessary needs, while being high-quality and reliable? This question arises before many who are preparing to purchase a device. Let us understand all the subtleties and nuances of choosing a good washing machine.

The most popular cars on our market are automatic ones. Manufacturers continue to produce semi-automatic devices, which are still in good demand. There are ultrasonic type machines, although they can hardly be called full-fledged washing devices. To get a better idea of ​​everything that falls under the washing machine category, let's look at each type of device.

Automatic washing machines

Such washing machines are completely stationary and automated. They have electronic control and many programs. The devices independently draw and heat water, calculate the cycle time, rinse and spin the laundry.

Conventional models of slot machines have a given set of programs and operate exclusively within a particular selected mode. But engineering developments do not stand still, and today the parameters of modern washing machines have been significantly expanded: there are units that can independently weigh laundry, assess the degree of its contamination, and select the required temperature, amount of water and washing powder. These are truly smart devices developed using the latest technologies.

Not long ago, the Candy company created an automatic voice-controlled washing machine that not only performs speech commands, but can also respond to its owners with a voice.

Automatic cars, in turn, are divided into two types:

• vertical;
• frontal.

We will consider each type in more detail below, but for now we will find out what other types of washing machines exist.

Semi-automatic washing machines

Semi-automatic (activator) washing machines were found in most homes during Soviet times. There were practically no machine guns back then, and even if they were on sale, not everyone could afford such a luxury.

The design of a semi-automatic washing machine is very simple: a motor equipped with a shaft rotates a drum located in a horizontal plane. The control of such units is mechanical. They do not have a set of programs; most machines have only 2-4 speed modes. The simplest ones are not equipped with a spin. More “advanced” semi-automatic models consist of a washing drum and a centrifuge in which washed clothes can be spun.

Activator devices can be small or medium in size. Many people are familiar by ear (and some by sight) with the “Malyutka” washing machine. She was very popular in her time. Unlike an automatic machine, a semi-automatic machine does not require cutting hoses into the sewer. These machines are mobile and can be moved around.

Depending on the specific model, semi-automatic machines can hold 1.5-6 kg of laundry. There are no heating elements in the devices - the tank is filled in the usual way, directly from the tap. To drain the water from the drum, the drain hose must be directed into a sink, bathtub or toilet. In such machines you can use hand washing powder. Spinning the drum according to the centrifuge principle does not create a lot of foam in the water.

Today, semi-automatic washing machines are rarely purchased for home use. They are taken to dachas or as temporary helpers until it is possible to purchase an expensive automatic car.

Ultrasonic machines

This type of machine differs significantly in parameters from those described above. The device consists of a cord, a power supply and a small box with an ultrasonic plate located inside. All the miracle technology fits into one palm.

The device belongs to modern technologies and operates on the basis of ultrasonic waves.

Operation of the device is quite simple: warm water is filled into a basin, washing powder is diluted in it, and things are placed in the soap solution. Next, the ultrasonic unit is placed in a basin with soaked things, and the wire is plugged into an outlet. The machine begins to generate ultrasonic waves and “wash” things.

How does ultrasonic washing work?

Looking at such a small device, many wonder how this device washes clothes.

It's very simple: the device creates ultrasonic waves in water. Due to vibration, microscopic bubbles appear in the soap solution. Passing through the fabric fibers, the bubbles burst, pushing out dirt.

The ultrasonic washing machine is designed for washing delicate items that cannot be machine washed. In addition to cleansing things from dirt, ultrasound also disinfects laundry, destroying germs.

The machine is safe, economical and very easy to use. The average washing time is 1-2 hours. Afterwards, the item must be rinsed and squeezed by hand.

Of course, hardly anyone wants to choose an ultrasonic washing machine as their main one. But as an additional one, for small “laundry tasks”, it is quite suitable. Although many users note that the quality of washing leaves much to be desired, and this device is not of much use.

Since most modern people try to make their life as easy as possible, automatic washing machines are the most popular. It is their choice that we will consider in more detail.

Loading type: frontal or vertical?

The market allows you to choose an automatic washing machine with a vertical loading type and a front-loading one. Let's figure out what the difference is between these two design features of the units.

Front washing machines

These days these are the most popular washing machines. Their tank is located on the front panel, the lid has the shape of a round hatch with transparent glass. The control is located in the same plane as the loading hatch. The front door lid opens to the side, and if the unit is on the floor, you will have to bend over a little to load laundry.

The transparent door has the advantage of allowing you to observe the washing process through it. Surely few people are interested in contemplating this action. But there are times when money, keys, and documents end up in the tank along with things. In such situations, the transparent lid is very helpful - you can quickly notice an item inside that is not intended for washing and turn off the machine.

Instructions

Load type.

Washing machines are divided into two groups: front-facing or vertical. Washing machines with a vertical loading type have several advantages: they are more convenient and reliable, they take up little space, and during the washing process you can remove the item or, on the contrary, throw in a new one.
When purchasing a front-loading one, you must not forget whether you have free space in the . Such washing machines are not inferior in washing quality to front-facing ones. But for greater convenience, you should choose a hatch door that opens 180 degrees.

Size and maximum load. The standard size of a washing machine is 85 cm in height and 58 cm in depth. But you can also find other models with a depth of 35 to 60 cm. For small rooms, narrow ones with a depth of 32 cm are suitable. But compactness leads to a decrease in the volume of the washing drum, and, as a result, to a decrease in the maximum load.

Tank and drum.

You need to find out the material from which the washing machine tank is made. The drum must be made of stainless steel, and the base for the tank can be composite materials, stainless or enameled steel. “Stainless steel” is the most reliable and durable material, but is inferior in noise. Composite materials are characterized by lower quality, but sufficient wear resistance and less noise due to vibration absorption.

Washing programs. Modern washing models are equipped with a set of standard programs for washing various types of laundry. But there are also a number of additional programs:
“Quick wash” – for washing lightly soiled items.

“Soak”, “Intensive wash”, “Stain removal” - for heavily soiled items.

“Extra rinse” - this program is intended for people who suffer from allergies.

“Economical wash” - designed to save energy.

There are two types of connecting a washing machine. Connecting to cold or hot water allows you to save energy, but the disadvantage is that the temperature in the water supply is not constant, and in the washing machine itself the water will heat up to a certain temperature. Connecting to cold water only is more practical, but it requires additional water softeners. You also need to pay attention to the hoses. It is desirable that they be flexible, this increases their wear resistance.

Build quality. In Turkey, assembly is carried out by automatic machines, so the average operating time of such washing machines will be 4 years. Austria and Sweden build cars that can last you up to 20 years. The German assembly is designed for 15 years, and the Italian or Korean - 8 years.

Choosing a washing machine for your home is a relatively simple task (compared to many other types of household and computer equipment), however, there are some nuances. Therefore, it would be best to decide in advance on the basic criteria, which will allow you to minimize the number of specific models among which you will need to make a final choice. Let's list these parameters and see what they affect.

Washing machine type and size

The simplest and most obvious parameter is the size of your future washing machine and the type of laundry loading (front-facing or vertical).

You should also decide whether you need a built-in or free-standing machine. Built-in washing machines are usually installed in the kitchen. It must be said that built-in machines are not very popular in Russia. The more common option is with a free-standing washing machine, which is installed in the bathroom (in small apartments, smaller machines are often installed - “under the sink”).

Built-in washing machine

Most washing machines have a height of 81-85 cm. For compact models that are installed under the sink, the height does not exceed 65-70 cm. Built-in machines are equipped with legs that allow you to change the height so that the machine fits the height of the kitchen unit. We add that if you prefer a model with vertical loading, then you will need to add a few tens of centimeters to the height of the machine for the opening lid. The same is true for a model with horizontal loading: it is better to check in advance how convenient it will be to open the hatch during everyday use.

Please note that top-loading models have two significant advantages. The first is universal: they allow you to add laundry to the wash after starting the program without canceling it (who, half a minute after pressing the “Start” button, has never found a T-shirt accidentally left outside?). The second will certainly be appreciated by older people: in order to load and remove laundry, you practically do not have to bend or squat. If you are planning to buy a washing machine for an elderly person, top loading can safely be placed on the list of the most important priorities. But “verticals” do not come in a built-in version (after all, it would require a special rising tabletop), and it cannot be used as an additional shelf in the bathroom.

However, to be fair, it is worth noting that there are still front-loading washing machines that allow you to add something to the tank during the washing process. Samsung has recently started producing them; in its terminology this is called the “AddWash” function. It is implemented quite simply.

with AddWash function

The maximum volume of laundry that can be loaded into it depends on the depth of the washing machine. If there is not enough free space, you can limit yourself to a small machine with a depth of 30-40 centimeters, which will allow you to wash from 3 to 5 kg of laundry - this is quite enough for one or two people. Machines with a depth of up to 50 centimeters allow you to wash up to 6-7 kg at a time. Increasing the depth to 60 centimeters will increase the maximum volume of laundry to 8-10 kg, which is best suited for a large family.

A narrow washing machine is a rare example of non-standard design

More popular front-loading machines will require about 50 centimeters of space in front of the machine in order to fully open the loading hatch. By the way: one of the modern trends that can only be welcomed is to make the loading hatches of front-loading washing machines as large as possible in diameter. This really simplifies and facilitates the process of loading laundry.

Activator machines

Note that in addition to traditional drum washing machines, there are also activator-type machines. In an activator-type machine, laundry is loaded from above into a stationary tank, and the contents of the tank are mixed due to the work of the activator - a rotating shaft with blades. It must be said that such machines are not very common. This is primarily due to the fact that most of them are not connected to a water supply and will require the user to manually fill and drain water (using a special hose). If spinning is present in such machines, it is usually in the form of a separate centrifuge drum. Models in which washing and spinning are performed in one tank are not very common. But such machines can be used where there is no running water. For example, at the dacha.

Detergents

The most common scheme is in which the washing machine is equipped with a drawer with three compartments: for pre-wash detergent, main wash detergent and rinse aid. The first two compartments, again traditionally and in the vast majority of cases, imply the use of powder detergents, while the rinse aid, on the contrary, is assumed to be liquid.

This scheme suits almost everyone, except those who use gel, but do not want to completely abandon pre-washing: in all other cases, the gel can be poured directly into the drum, but after the pre-wash, it will be drained, and the main wash will simply take place without detergent. In this case, it is worth looking for a model in which the drawer is equipped with an additional partition that prevents the gel from pouring out: this partition is removed when using powder and installed if you use gel.

There are washing machines with automatic supply of detergent: washing gel and conditioner-rinse aid are poured into special containers in the machine, after which you can simply load laundry and select a washing program - the machine will add the required amount of detergent at the appropriate stages. The main thing is not to forget to add funds to the tanks on time: in some models, control over their availability is completely transferred to the user.

Inverter motor

Not long ago, washing machines with an inverter motor appeared on the market, the design of which does not involve the use of brushes, and therefore, such an engine will have reduced wear. The key feature of such a motor is the presence of a frequency converter, which changes the speed and frequency of the drum, converting the current from direct to alternating. This allows you to more accurately control the operation of the mechanism.

Compared to traditional inverter motors, they operate almost silently, and their efficiency is on average 20% higher. In addition, inverter machines are capable of spinning laundry at high speed.

Despite all of the above, we cannot unequivocally say that buying a washing machine with an inverter motor is certainly a rational decision in terms of price-quality ratio. The price of such engines is high, and the cost of repairs will also be high if it fails.

Quality of washing and spinning

The next point that usually interests a person choosing a washing machine is the quality of washing and spinning of clothes. The first parameter determines how clean your laundry will be after washing. From the second - how dry it will be.

The washing class is a rather difficult to understand parameter, invented more than 20 years ago and calculated based on the washing of “reference” soiled laundry in various machines. Today, this parameter has practically lost its meaning: almost all modern washing machines have class A or higher (A+, A++, A+++), and it is unlikely that it will be possible to notice the difference between these classes with the naked eye.

But the spin class is a completely understandable and adequate characteristic by which you can understand how dry (or vice versa, how damp) the laundry that you take out of the washing machine will be.

• A (less than 45% humidity)
• B (45%—54% humidity)
• C (54%—63% humidity)
• D (63%—72% humidity)
• E (72%—81% humidity)
• F (81%—90% humidity)
• G (more than 90%)

At the same time, models in the range from A to E are widely represented on the market, and therefore this parameter is very important when choosing.

with a spin speed of up to 1500 rpm

Spin quality can also be determined by the maximum available spin speed. For most home washing machines, it is usually in the range of 800 to 1200 rpm. For most household tasks, 1000 rpm is sufficient, and higher values ​​usually mean that a greater load will be placed on the machine (for example, you will be washing a lot of clothes for a large family).

Energy class and water consumption

Since we are talking about different classes, it would not be superfluous to mention the energy consumption class. The exact same scale is adopted here - from A+++ to G. Calculations are made for washing 1 kilogram of cotton underwear at a water temperature of 60°C.

Class A models, which were previously the most economical, consume less than 0.19 kWh/kg. Class A+ corresponds to a consumption of less than 0.17 kWh/kg, A++ - less than 0.15 kWh/kg, and A+++ - less than 0.13 kWh/kg. In addition, the standard water consumption per wash is indicated for each machine. On average, this parameter ranges from 36 to 60 liters, although you can also find models that require more than 100 liters. It is clear that if you have a water meter, such water consumption can significantly affect the amount of your monthly bill.

Drying clothes

The laundry drying function is a rather useful feature that allows you to use freshly washed laundry immediately after the machine has finished working (of course, you still have to iron it). In addition, you won’t have to hang your laundry, which means you can save space in your apartment. If you decide to opt for a washing machine with drying function, it would be a good idea to check a few nuances.

Firstly, this is the number of drying programs. Different drying modes are suitable for different types of fabrics, so it is better that your machine is universal and can dry synthetic fabrics, cotton, wool, etc.

Secondly, we must not forget that the maximum volume of laundry that a machine can dry will be approximately half as much as the maximum volume of laundry that it can wash.

Thirdly, we note that simple models simply dry laundry for a certain time, while more advanced ones measure the humidity in the tank, thus allowing not only to save energy, but also, for example, to obtain slightly damp laundry, which is best suited for ironing .

Noise level

The noise level is a simple and understandable parameter, based on which you can determine whether your machine is suitable for installation in close proximity to, for example, a bedroom or in a combined kitchen-living room. For most standard situations, a machine with a noise level of no more than 55 dB will be fine.

Control

Almost all modern washing machines (with the exception of activator ones) have an electronic control system. However, the appearance of the control panel, as well as the overall ease of use, can differ quite significantly. Some machines are equipped with a special display that shows what stage of the program the machine is currently in. It can also display prompts and error codes in case something goes wrong.

Washing machine with large display

In activator machines you can still find a mechanical control system, in which the user sets all the necessary parameters manually - using knobs and buttons.

Availability of additional programs

Depending on the needs of different users, it may be important to have certain special programs and additional features. Let's mention the most important ones. The name of many of them speaks for itself:

• Bio-phase - preheating water to 40°C for 10-15 minutes, which allows bioadditives to act on organic pollutants
• Quick wash
• Extra rinse
• Foam level control - draining water and then removing foam after completing a certain cycle
• Delayed start
• Night mode is a special mode in which the machine does not go into “noisy” modes (for example, it does not spin clothes after washing is completed)
• Pre-wash or soak
• Special programs for outerwear, delicate fabrics, children's items, jeans, down items, mixed fabrics, sports shoes, sportswear, black items, silk, wool, etc.

All of these features only make sense if you actually plan to use at least some of them. From our point of view, the minimum required set of programs is as follows:

• wash with pre-wash
• normal wash
• washing synthetics
• gentle (“gentle”, “hand”) wash
• quick wash
• ability to disable spin

This set, in combination with manual temperature control, is 99% likely to be enough for all occasions, and it is present in almost all modern washing machines.

Fuzzy Logic

After talking about programs, it's time to mention such a fashionable combination as Fuzzy Logic or “intelligent wash control”. A washing machine with this function has a set of sensors that monitor the weight of the laundry, the degree of soiling, water hardness, etc.

Based on the data received from these sensors, the central processor automatically determines the required washing time, the amount of water and the appropriate mode.

For example, an optical sensor will determine the degree of contamination of the laundry based on the transparency of the water, and the nature of the contamination will be determined by the rate of contamination of the water with microparticles.

with Fuzzy Logic function

It is clear that such machines will cost significantly more, and some users may even be put off by such “technological intervention” in their usual area. After all, surprises are possible here: for example, you decided that your laundry would be ready in an hour, but the machine calculated that it needed at least two hours. However, judging by user reviews, most of them are inclined to trust automation and evaluate such innovation positively. After all, automation will allow you to avoid overconsumption of washing powder and eliminate situations where the machine wastes time on additional washing of already clean laundry.

Leak protection

Finally, the last but not least important point for many is protection against leaks. After all, a washing machine interacts with water every day, and therefore, if any part fails, a flood can occur. The most vulnerable places in this case are the water supply and drainage hoses, as well as the body of the machine itself.

The machine body is traditionally protected using a pan and a float: if water gets into the pan, the float rises and turns off the system. The hoses are protected by nested “double” hoses and solenoid valves. If water gets into the “external” hose, the protection system is activated and the water supply stops. By the way, such a hose can be installed separately - they are suitable for almost all washing machines. Having full protection allows you not to worry about potential accidents and safely start the wash even if you are not at home (using the delayed start function).

Bottom line

In fact, almost any modern washing machine is 99% likely to cope with the tasks you set for it. Therefore, the most important selection criteria are purely geometric parameters: whether it can fit into the room that you are planning for it. Everything else is options, not so significant. One of the most important is capacity: how much laundry the machine can wash at one time. Obviously, this amount should not “stress” you - that is, the amount of laundry washed should be greater than that used in order to ensure the necessary supply: at least one set should always remain “clean”.
