Manufacturers of household appliances have taken care of the comfort and practicality of using and using washing machines. Models of machines distinguish the engine power and the volume of the working tanks. Now any housewife can confidently answer the question: "What class of energy-saving and engine power of the unit of its automatic machine". Feeling uncertainty when choosing a washing machine, use some useful tips.

Washing machine, selection criteria
It is noted that the household appliance, the dimensions of which fundamentally affect the choice of the model, are washing machines. Most models of household appliances have a good design and numerous functions, behind which there is a solid cost of the washing machine.
However, if the car does not fit into the allocated bathroom or kitchen area, then it does not make sense to purchase the unit. Therefore, it does not hurt to learn tips when choosing a washing machine, using well-known criteria.
It is recommended to pay attention when choosing the technical specifications, overall dimensions of the unit, type of load of laundry and engine type of the unit.
You are an aggregate, you are an aggregate
The principle of operation of washing machines is based on the operation of relays of certain contact groups of the electrical circuit.
technical and operational characteristics of machines
Being a high-performance unit, the washing machine automatic machine is characterized by the following technical characteristics:
• energy consumption class and washing efficiency
• drum speed and spin class
• type of engine and drive
The labeling of the energy consumption class (A, A +, A ++, A +++) characterizes the unit for the economy of consumption.
Thus, the energy consumption class A is 1 kWh, class A + is 0.9-0.7 kWh, class A ++ 0.6-0.5 kW / h. In the class of washing machines are divided into classes: effective washing A and B, the average efficiency C, D and E.
Recall that the lowest level of washing belongs to machines of class F and G.
The speed of models of automatic machines is from 400 to 1800 rpm.
Spin class is a qualitative characteristic of the performance. Aggregates of class A with revolutions during spinning from 800 to 1000 rpm maximally remove moisture, moisture content less than 45%. For the pressing class B, the moisture content is up to 54%. Most of all moisture up to 90% remains with the pressing of aggregates of class F and G.
Recall that an important link in the car machine is the type of engine.
Helpful Tips
For washing machines use built-in asynchronous or collector motors with belt or direct drive. Direct Drum Drive Units Direct Drive (DD) series are used in washing machines Samsung, Whirpooland Haier.
The most reliable unit in operation is considered to be asynchronous engines with a power of up to 600 rpm in the spin-off mode. The collector type motor is designed for a service life of up to 7 years, due to the rapid wear of the brushes at operating frequency and load intensity.
The three-phase brushless DC motor (BLDC) is used in direct drive models
determine the placement
To determine the dimensions corresponding to the dimensions of the machine's machine placement, it is necessary to make simple measurements: the height, width and depth of the installation. There is a conditional classification of instrument sizes:
• standard
• vertical
• full-size
• Narrow and compact.
For standard full-sized washing machines, for example Indesit PWE 7127 S with overall dimensions: 85 × 59.5 × 53.5 cm will require more space for accommodation than for narrow and compact. The location of the unit is affected by the type of loading of the laundry.
Thus, for narrow or compact models, the depth of the machine body is 33-40 cm at a standard height and width (80 and 60 cm) with a load capacity of up to 4 kg.
Narrow and compact washing machines have a front-end type of loading. However, it should be noted that the version of narrow models is less resistant to mechanical shaking and vibration, the washing class is lower and the number of washing programs is minimal. The only advantage of units of compact type of machines is the possibility of embedding in furniture.
type of laundry
Distinguish between washing machines with front or vertical loading. Units with front loading are equipped with a hatch with a door located on the facade. For easy loading of laundry, opening the door by 180 °, which means that there is enough free space to open the door freely. By the way, units with front loading for 1 cycle of washing are more effective, than with vertical loading.
The working drum for machines with front loading is fixed on one axis, creating structures with a small number of fixtures of sufficient strength. Mechanical wear of the parts of the unit with front loading is slower than that of machines with vertical loading. No additional space is required, because the laundry is loaded from above, the control panel is also located on top.
volume of the tank
The capacity of the washing machine tank is an indicator of the capacity of the unit, which is calculated for a volume of dry linen from 2 to 8 kg.
There are models of non-standard volume, for example, an automaton LG WD-1069FDS is designed to load almost 13 kg of laundry. Naturally, the tank volume should be chosen in accordance with the actual load, on average such a volume is 5 kg.
Helpful Tips
A hint at the choice is the popularity rating of automatic machines and consumer recall. Judging by the responses, the main requirements for household appliances are:
• 5 kg stainless steel working tank with volume adjustment
• programs for washing various materials with temperature control.
Therefore, when selecting, study the set of basic functions on the control panel.
basic management functions
Optimize the basic washing parameters of the washing unit is possible using the control panel. The machine's algorithm of operation of the machine corresponds to the preset settings. A set of basic functions for most units is standard. By pressing a special button, the user selects the parameters of the washing process, taking into account the saving of time, water or electricity.
Optimizing the washing process saves 50% of water, time and electricity up to 60%. In addition, the main functions are: washing time, from min to max, setting the water temperature, selecting the wash for the material, spinning intensity and foam control.
additional functions
In addition to a set of options for the main functionality of the unit, there are some additional functions:
• quiet operation
• Protection from vibration, leaks, children and power surges.
