How to choose the best Washing Machine for your home!

Are you planning to buy a new washing machine? It is only natural that you will find the task a bit challenging as there are a lot of choices in the market today. At Pittappillil Agencies showrooms alone we offer you a choice of over 300+ latest washing machines. We have washing machines for you from all major brands, in a wide range of features and prices. Look at all that you have to take into consideration before making a definite choice! There are favorite brands, prices, features, efficiency, top-loading or front-loading, power efficiency, and discounts. Here we discuss how you can make a better choice.

Go for technology

The washing machines of today are far advanced from those available about 4-5 years ago. The machines are intelligent, calculate the amount of water and soap powder/liquid you require based on the weight of the clothes in the tub, and have multiple presets to do the washing according to the nature of the clothes and how well you want to wash them. It makes good sense to buy the washing machine with the best technological features in the price range you intend to spend.

Washers with dryers

It makes good sense to buy washing machines in Kerala with inbuilt dryers these days. Especially taking into consideration that it is the rainy season and that in Kerala, we have to deal with two rainy seasons. Not just that, as more families are now residing in apartments, the space for hanging clothes out to dry is very limited and the process of spreading out clothes to dry is bothersome. Clothes that come out well wrung and nearly dry from the washing machine dry out quickly. Machines with such facilities are indeed a good choice.

Consider the size

The size of the washing machine can very much depend on the number of people in your household and the amount of washing that would have to be done daily. A bigger washing machine means that you can clean all the clothes you want in one go without straining the machine. However, if you are ok with repeated washes, size does not matter too much. But it would mean more energy and water usage with the repeated washes.

Before setting off to buy a new washing machine, it would make good sense to check the width of the doors leading to the place you have set aside for the washing machine in your home before deciding on the size. Some of the older apartments and homes have narrower doors. At such places, a bigger washing machine can’t even be taken inside, however much you try. The newer apartments and homes can easily accommodate a larger washing machine.

Front or Top loading

One of the foremost things to take into consideration while buying a washing machine is the budget. Thankfully all the major brands offer washing machines at a range of prices. The models with more features naturally cost more. Front-loading machines wash best, according to experts in the field but top-loading machines are generally priced less. Front-loading machines remove stains better and generally use lesser water and energy. But if you have a smaller space allotted for the washing machine, then the top loader is a better choice. They are also easier to maintain and wash more quickly. The washing process ends much faster and so, it is good for families where both the husband and wife are working. 

Think of the cost

For the completely budget-conscious buyer, semi-automatic machines are the best bet. But they are bothersome to use as it takes a lot of work. The tub will have to be filled with water before the washing is begun and after the wash cycle, the clothes have to be picked up from the wash tub and placed in the dryer tub. Sometimes the balance is lost and the clothes in the dryer tub will have to be rearranged. The benefit is that such machines are affordable, hard-wearing, and have lesser confusing features. In homes with servants to take care of the washing, it can be a good choice. Automatic washing machines wash and extract about 95% of the water from the clothes after washing. The clothes can be easily set to dry up quickly. The process of washing is very easy as all the work is done automatically.

The Power Savings

All the newer washing machines offer great energy and water-saving modes. The Energy Star certificate from the Department of Energy helps one choose the most energy-efficient machine. You can easily buy machines that use 25% less energy compared to some of the older and traditional models. Front loading machines save more water while the top loaders consume more. The front loader also usually has water heaters to wash clothes in hot water, if required. This water heating process increases power consumption, but the clothes come out perfectly cleaned and even disinfected. The better machines have features like pre-treating options, automatic detergent dispensers, multiple rinse cycles, temperature control, load weight sensing, automatic load-balancing, and many more.
