1. How to choose a washing machine

Nowadays, even in ordinary families, washing machines are already very common household appliances. As people's living standards improve, their requirements for quality of life are becoming more and more demanding. Since ordinary washing machines rely solely on mechanical power for washing, some clothes are already washed before they are worn out. Therefore, most consumers' requirements for washing machines are very different from those in the past. They must be able to wash clothes cleanly without damaging the clothes. This requires that when the washing machine is washing, the clothes should not be entangled and the friction should not be too great; in addition, it is also required to wash faster. How to choose a washing machine that is suitable and satisfactory to you is what today's consumers urgently need to know.

When purchasing a washing machine, you must first understand the type of washing machine. At present, there are three main types of washing machines in the world: drum type, pulsator type and agitator type. They all wash static clothes through chemical action, mechanical action, time and temperature. Among them, the mixing type accounts for a very small share in the world market. However, there are still big differences between drum washing machines and pulsator washing machines in terms of how quietly they wash clothes, power consumption, and the time it takes to wash clothes. We might as well compare them:

Pulsator washing machine

The heating function cannot be heated. If the water temperature is too low in winter, it will affect the amount of dissolved water of the washing powder and washing. Relatively speaking, the water consumption and consumption of washing powder are better than those of drum washing machines. The amount of wear required is high. Due to the large mechanical force, the clothes are easy to get tangled and knotted, resulting in greater wear and tear.

The washing time is shorter than that of a drum washing machine. Most of the parts are made of plastic, which takes a long time. It will age, become loose easily, and has a limited lifespan.

Front-loading washing machine

The heating function can select the heating temperature, which can activate the biological enzymes in the washing machine to remove stubborn stains. The water volume and water level during washing are high for pulsator washing machines. 1/3, the amount of detergent is reduced to 1/4 of that of a pulsator washing machine. The wear degree is beat washing. The clothes are not tangled and knotted, and the wear is small. It is suitable for washing high-end products such as silk.

Washing time: Washing time is relatively long

Most of the parts are made of stainless steel, which is sturdy and durable and has a long service life. Taken together, no matter from the washing quietness of the clothes, the wear and tear on the clothes In terms of speed, service life, and energy consumption, drum washing machines are better than pulsator washing machines. Therefore, purchasing drum washing machines has become a trend for modern families.

Currently there are many brands of drum washing machines on the market, and they all seem to be similar. In fact, the quality and functions of drum washing machines of different brands sometimes vary greatly, so be sure to compare them carefully when purchasing. Here, there are 10 purchasing points for consumers to refer to when purchasing.

1. When purchasing a drum washing machine, is the difference between brands important?

Of course it is important.

There are many brands of drum washing machines on the market now. The biggest difference between the brands lies in their quality and reputation. Those brands with history and popularity have passed the test of time in terms of product quality and reputation and are trustworthy. brand. At present, since the manufacturing technology of domestic drum washing machines is mostly imported from abroad, when purchasing, you should ask about the technology source of the washing machine, the background of the manufacturer, and the history of producing drum washing machines.

2. How to distinguish the quality of inner and outer cylinders?

The inner drum of the washing machine is the part that is in direct contact with the clothes. The quality of the inner drum is directly related to the cleanliness of the clothes. The punched edge of the inner cylinder must be smooth, and the convex surface of the inner cylinder must be in an arc shape without edges and corners, so as not to cause wear or snags on the clothes; in addition, the more punched holes in the inner cylinder, the faster the water will flow. Rinsing will be cleaner.

Because both the inner and outer cylinders are in direct contact with the washing liquid and need to be heated. Therefore, you should choose high-quality stainless steel as the material, which is corrosion-resistant and has a long service life; some washing machines use enamel for the outer barrel, but the enamel is easy to fall off and will cause the outer barrel to rust.

3. What matters about the size of the capacity?

Different capacities meet the needs of different consumers. Small capacity is suitable for single people, large capacity is suitable for families. When purchasing, you should choose a model that suits you based on your usual laundry habits.

Generally speaking, drum washing machines with different thicknesses have different washing capacities. The washing machine is marked with a rated capacity, and the actual washing capacity is approximately 60% of the rated capacity. If the laundry exceeds the optimal washing capacity, the cleanliness of the clothes will be reduced, vibration and noise will increase, and the life of the washing machine will be shortened.

In addition, it should be noted that the capacity of a washer and dryer is generally 1/3 to 1/2 of the washing capacity. If the washing capacity is small, the drying capacity will be even smaller, and the drying efficiency will be reduced. .

4. Is it more ideal that the dehydration speed can be adjusted arbitrarily?

Because different clothes require different dehydration speeds, the speed should be low when spinning wool clothes, and the speed should be high when spinning jeans, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the clothes without damaging them. .

Within a certain range, the dehydration speed can be adjusted arbitrarily to suit all fabrics and clothing. Judging from the panel, the truly adjustable dehydration speed should be a knob type. A knob that has an obvious pause during rotation cannot allow arbitrary selection of speed.

5. What should you pay attention to when purchasing a washer and dryer?

Pay attention to the difference between drying capacity and washing capacity. The washing and drying machine is a complex combination of the washing system and the drying system. In terms of technology and technology, dehydration speed and energy consumption are important indicators. Balancing the system is the key. The higher the dehydration speed, the drier the spin and the faster the drying. .

Due to the large energy consumption required for drying, the energy consumption of different brands varies greatly. In order to consider the purchase and use costs, it is best to make a decision after carefully comparing the data provided by the manufacturer.

6. Does the drainage system have an impact on the laundry effect?

If the drainage system is not designed scientifically, washing powder and high-concentration washing liquid will flow into the drainage pipe, causing a large amount of waste of washing powder and corroding the drainage pipe. The sewage will flow back into the inner tube and easily stain the clothes.

The most advanced and scientific solution currently on the market is to install a ball valve device at the drain outlet. During water inflow and washing, the ball valve will block the drain outlet to prevent the loss of washing powder and water. and sewage backflow; when draining, the ball valve sinks, which does not affect the discharge of sewage, makes rinsing clean and thorough, and can save 40% of water and 70% of washing powder.

7. Are there some technical parameters that we should know?

Consumers should know technical parameters such as water, electricity, detergent, and time consumption. When purchasing, you should compare the leaflets of each brand. Only if the numbers on the leaflets are clearly marked will the credibility be higher and you will be guaranteed. If it is just spoken by the promoter, of course it is unsubstantiated and cannot be used as evidence; some things that do not have exact data to compare, such as "how many percent saved", "how many times increased" and so on, cannot be fully justified. letter.

8. Are there any silent washing machines?

Since most families in China place the washing machine in the bathroom or balcony, and some in the living room, they are very sensitive to the noise of the washing machine. The noise of the washing machine not only comes from the motor, but also is related to the machine's balance system, speed control system, and overload washing. Therefore, when purchasing, choose a drum washing machine with a good motor and leading technology.

There are now drum washing machines that use silent patented technology. The noise is only less than 58 decibels at 800 rpm, which is lower than the noise value of ordinary pulsator washing machines. When purchasing, it is best to ask the sales staff to demonstrate on the spot, compare the noise levels, or refer to the noise values ??of various brands.

9. Is there a faster washing machine?

Since the drum washing machine will not tangle the clothes, it can improve the cleanliness through longer washing without damaging the clothes. In addition, the washing process is fully automatic and does not require monitoring, so the washing time is longer and the washing time is longer. It won't make people worry too much.

But many consumers are still accustomed to fast laundry, and there is no need to worry, because there are now new fast-wash drum washing machines.

The so-called fast washing refers to "fast washing time and fast washing rhythm". There are some so-called "quick wash" programs that just end the washing program in advance, or change the program with a shorter washing time to a quick wash program, which cannot achieve satisfactory washing results. The special quick wash program can adjust the washing rhythm without omitting every necessary washing step to ensure sufficient washing and achieve good washing results, and is suitable for all clothing materials.

10. How to judge the quality of appearance and workmanship?

Placing a washing machine at home reflects your lifestyle, so the appearance should be simple and bright, and the color should match the furniture. A high-quality washing machine has a lifespan of more than 10 years, so it is best not to choose one that looks too fashionable to avoid it becoming outdated quickly.

A truly good machine should look exactly the same as what it looks like. When purchasing at the mall, you can ask the promoter to open the top cover and take a look at the manufacturing process. The method is very simple. You only need to remove two small screws to see the internal balance. Blocks, cables, parts sourcing and assembly can help you make your choice.

Market demand and development trends

Washing machines are making rapid progress in terms of quality, technology, function and appearance. and development. From the initial single-cylinder washing machine, to double-cylinder, sleeve injection machines, semi-automatic, fully automatic, and then to artificial intelligence full fuzzy control, the degree of automation is getting higher and higher, which will be the development trend of washing machines.

Large-capacity and miniaturized washing machines are favored by different families. The dual-wash combined washing machine can meet the needs of washing different clothes separately, washing a large amount of clothes at the same time, and washing small pieces of clothes immediately, and is deeply loved by consumers. The shape is simple and beautiful, the design is elegant and cute, the color is rich and colorful, either soft or pretty, and it can fully reflect the owner's taste and personality, and it will be very popular in the market.

Comparison of different models

Tumbling, pulsator and bionic scrubbing washing machines can meet the needs of consumers with different preferences. The drum type uses the drum to rotate forward and reverse. The clothes are lifted up by the convex ribs and fall freely by gravity. The washing degree is even, the clothes damage rate is low, the clothes are not easy to get tangled, and even high-end clothes such as silk and wool can be washed. The drum can also heat the water to further improve the washing effect. It can even eliminate the need for highly corrosive detergents such as collar detergent, which is beneficial to protecting clothes. The pulsator type relies on the eddy current generated by the high-speed operation of the pulsator to impact the clothes. Its cleaning degree is 10% higher than that of the drum, and its wear rate is also 10% higher than that of the drum. The scrub washing type has good overall performance. Washing uniformity, washing time, clothes damage rate, noise, etc. are all between those of the drum and the pulsator.

Personal characteristics of the washing machine

"Three-in-one": washing, spinning and drying in one. "Dual power": There are two heating tubes to choose from, allowing consumers to choose single tube or double tube heating and washing. Even if there are restrictions on the electric meter at home, they can still use it as they like. "Smart": Continuously adjust the water injection amount according to the weight and fiber type of the clothes, so that the optimal amount of water and the appropriate amount of washing powder are completely dissolved, thereby achieving the optimal concentration and fully soaking the clothes. "Healthy disinfection": equipped with heating device, available in various models. "Frequency conversion": The computer control system automatically senses the balance of the clothes to determine the optimal rotation speed of the motor during dehydration, which truly fundamentally solves the problem of vibration and noise. "Fuzzy control" means that the washing machine uses sensors to determine the weight, texture and degree of contamination of the clothes to automatically determine the water level, the amount of detergent, and determine the best washing program. "Waterfall Water": Through the circulation of three-dimensional water flow, it impacts the clothes like a waterfall, increases tumbling, reduces entanglement, improves cleanliness, and even knotted towels can be washed away. "Overflow rinsing": During rinsing, clean water is continuously injected from the washing tank so that soap scum and oil stains no longer remain on the clothes and the wall of the drum, but are discharged through the overflow port. "Automatic dynamic balancing system": It can automatically balance the clothes in the drum even when a large amount of clothes are dehydrated at high speed.
