Washing machines have replaced the age-old tiresome method of washing clothes with our hands. Washing machines help wash and dry everything from delicate clothes to bed sheets and jeans, in less than an hour. Buying a washing machine depends on several factors. One of the most important one to consider the type of washing machine you want. There are two popular types – top loading and front loading washing machines. Top loading machines are cheaper, and they can include semi-automatic ones which need manual intervention while automatic ones do not. Front-loading washing machines all automatic washing machines but there is more to them than just a different look.
Why front loading washing machines?
Front loading machines are efficient and effective, but they are assumed to be expensive so it makes us think twice before we consider one. That isn’t the case anymore. Prices of front loading washing machines have plummeted over the years. Reliance Digital offers you front loading machines starting from as low as Rs. 18,990*. There are a number of reasons besides affordability. They use less space, less water and are really quiet during wash operations. In addition, these machines are feature-rich and consume less power, compared to top loaders.
Models and capacities available
Some people buy low cost washing machine even without considering its capacity. However, this is the most important and easy to figure factor while buying. The capacity of washing machine is denoted in kilograms (Kgs), which denotes the size of the drum and the quantity of clothes it can wash. Depending on the number of people in your family, decide the capacity you need. Front loading machine range from 5 to 12 kg, so you can find a model ideal for your family.
Front loading machines are feature-rich
Front loading machines are feature-rich because they are the more premium offering in the world of washing machines. They are more efficient but they also have practically all the features you would want, but at reasonable prices.
Wash programs and drum technologies
You'll find a number wash cycles in different machines. Some of the models have very basic wash cycles such as delicate, wool, synthetic, cotton, etc. Most of the high-end machines have advanced drum technologies, which automatically adjust the drum movement based on the type of fabric. Similarly, there is Fuzzy Logic, a wash program in machines that automatically decides the settings depending on the fabrics determined by built-in sensors.
Completely dry clothes
Some of the newer front loading machines are known to make claims of 100 per cent drying efficiency. There are hybrid dryers built inside machines that use heated air to help dry clothes while still providing care for sensitive fabrics at the same time.
Hot water rinse and steaming
Hot water rinse and steaming are popular features found in mid-range and high-end machines these days. It helps removes allergy-causing components and bad odour from clothes, making them fresh and wrinkle-free. This is good if you have to wash baby and muddy clothes for complete germ protection.
Things to be taken care of
Before choosing a front loading washing machine, ensure that you have stable water supply and water pressure at your home. This is necessary because front loading machines automatically fill the tub with water when you select the wash program. If there is low water pressure, the machine could take a lot of time to fill the tub. It could even abort the wash cycle. Reliance Digital offers a bunch of alternatives that our experts could help you with.
