How to choose a washing machine at a price/quality ratio?

The first criterion for choosing a washing machine is its size. It is necessary to measure the place where the equipment will be installed and choose a machine with these indicators in mind. There should be enough space to place the connection hoses behind the equipment.

Of the other criteria, the following play an important role:

1. Type of installation. All washing machines are freestanding and built-in. Devices of the first type are classic, and the second - are designed for installation inside furniture and bathroom or kitchen.
2. Method of loading. Here everything is also quite simple. All modern machines have either front or vertical loading. Models of the first type look more stylish, and the second allows you to save space in the room.
3. Loading volume. One of the most important parameters. The larger the family and more often the washing is carried out, the larger the load volume should be.
4. The presence of a dryer. A very useful addition for the washing machine, because in this case the user will not have to buy an additional dryer. In addition, the owner will have the opportunity to save space in the room or on the balcony, because you do not have to hang wet clothes.
5. The number of programs and modes. Here everything is simple: the more of them, the better. In this case, the owner will not be difficult to choose a suitable mode, focusing on the type of fabric and on the recommendations for washing, which are usually given on the label.

It is also desirable that the washing machine consumed little electricity, was equipped with a leakage protection, and the control panel can be blocked, so that children do not accidentally press the buttons and do not disrupt the washing cycle.
