Washing machine is an integral part of most households today. Think about these factors before deciding which washing machine to buy.
- Front loading and top loading washing machines: Front load machines clean clothes with a vertical spin movement while most top load ones clean with a horizontal rotation movement. Some people claim that the vertical spin stretches clothes less. Seek the advice of seasoned homemakers.
- Capacity: A good machine should serve you for at least five years. Think about whether your family will expand in the near future when deciding on which capacity to go for.
- Water temperature controls: Basic needs are met with three water temperature setting—hot, warm, and cold. If your budget does not allow, a machine with variable temperature controls is not necessary.
- Fabric care selections: Read fabric care labels on your clothes before you shop. Do not forget about bedsheets, towels, and table cloths. People whose wardrobe consists mainly of jeans and cotton work shirt can get a basic model.
- Size: Make sure you get one that will fit into the space you set for the machine. Top loaders and front loaders vary slightly in width and depth.
- Plastic or metal covering: Rustproof: If you plan to keep the machine in an area that’s generally wet, pick a machine with a rustproof body. A plastic body will not deteriorate with constant water splashes.
- Administrative issues: Ask about warranty, delivery charges and interest-free financing.
