Top-loading washing machines have loading from the top, while front-loading washing machines have an opening at the front. Front-loading machines are more popular for their ability to be integrated under a countertop.
Opt for a top-loading washing machine if space is limited or if you prefer ergonomic loading. Choose a front-loading washing machine if you need to integrate the appliance under a countertop or if you plan to stack a washing machine and a dryer.
The washing machine capacity in kg that you need depends on the amount of laundry you do regularly.
Here are some general guidelines:
- Single person: A 5-6 kg machine should be enough.
- Couple: A 7-8 kg machine should be enough.
- Small family (3-4 people): An 8-9 kg machine should be enough.
- Large family (5 people or more): A 10 kg or larger machine should be enough.
Additional Tips:
- It is best not to overload the machine. Overloading can cause clothes not to wash properly and even damage the machine.
A standard front-loading washing machine measures approximately 60 cm wide and 85 cm high. However, more compact models, such as "slim" ones, are available for restricted spaces.
A high spin speed, between 1,000 and 1,600 revolutions per minute, helps extract more water from clothes, thereby reducing drying time and energy consumption of the dryer.
Washing machines offer various programs such as cotton, synthetic, wool, and specific programs for delicate fabrics. Some models even offer mixed programs for versatile washing.
Washing temperatures should be adjusted according to the fabrics and level of soiling to ensure effective cleaning and preserve your clothes.
Washing machines are equipped with various safety features such as child lock, anti-overflow, anti-vibration, and anti-leak systems to ensure safe and reliable operation.
