Advice on which Washing Machine to Buy
It is quite a tricky issue to decide on which washing machine to buy, whether it is your first purchase or a replacement for an older machine. There are a lot of things to take into account, such as:
- Price and your budget
- Look and finishSize
- Energy rating
- Drum size
- Number of programmes
- Spin speeds
- Free standing
- Integrated (also known as built-in)
- Dimensions of machine
It can be quite a nightmare to reach a decision that you will be happy with. Obviously the washing machines at the lower end of the price scale are attractive when you have a small budget, but they may not be as energy efficient and could end up costing you more to run. Also if the drum size is insufficient for your needs it will mean that you will need to use the machine more than you would want.
Most washing machines are of a very similar size, between 80-90cm high x 50-60cm wide x 50-60cm deep. If you have a limited space for the washing machine, you should disregard anything that will not fit – that’s a start anyway.
You will obviously know whether you want a free-standing machine, which is one that just fits into an empty space in your kitchen. An integrated (built-in) machine is manufactured with a flat front allowing a matching door to be fitted over the top, so that it matches the rest of the cabinets in your kitchen – thereby causing you to run round your kitchen opening every door until you find the appliance you need!
Please bear in mind that, in most cases, an integrated machine will be more expensive. Read More Here…
