Washing machine to buy the 5 core elements

Summer in Boise and its surrounding areas like Meridian, Nampa, and Caldwell can be a delightful time for relaxation and enjoyment. At Appliances 4 Less Boise, we believe your home appliances can play a significant role in simplifying your summer activities. Here’s how you can leverage these tools to enhance your summer experience, even with appliances that are open box, scratch, and dented.

When you stand in a home appliance store and face a wide variety of washing machines, have you ever been confused by parameters such as energy consumption level and motor type? As the core equipment of the home that dances with water, electricity and detergent every day, the purchase of washing machines should take into account energy saving, durability and health protection. This article will disassemble 5 major core elements from a professional perspective to help you accurately lock in your ideal choice.

1. energy consumption level:

The US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Energy Star certification is the gold standard for measuring washing machine energy efficiency. The first-level energy efficiency model can save more than 30% of the annual power consumption compared with the third-level energy efficiency model, which can save more than US $500 per ten-year cycle based on the calculation of once-a-day use. It is suggested to give priority to the models with Energy Star certification and comprehensive energy efficiency index (IEF)≥ 3.5, especially the models with intelligent load sensing technology, which can automatically adjust the water level and washing time according to the amount of clothes, so as to realize the real “how much electricity is used and how much clothes are washed”.

2. motor type:

The direct drive motor (DD) directly drives the drum through magnetic levitation technology, with noise as low as 45 decibels and power transmission efficiency as high as 95%, which is 20% higher than that of traditional belt drive. Although the cost of the belt drive motor is low, the aging of the belt will lead to increased noise and power loss. It is recommended to choose a model equipped with permanent magnet synchronous direct drive motor, which has a failure rate of 40% lower than that of traditional motors in 10 years and supports high-level functions such as fast washing in 15 minutes.

3. washing way:

Drum washing machine adopts “wrestling” washing, the wear rate of clothes is only 1/3 of the pulsator, especially suitable for delicate fabrics such as wool and silk. The pulsator washing machine achieves efficient decontamination through “stirring” washing, but high speed may cause the clothes to be entangled. It is suggested to choose according to the type of household clothing: pay attention to the optional drum for protective clothing, and choose the pulsator in pursuit of cost performance, but give priority to the drum model with “cradle soft washing” mode, which can simulate the hand washing effect at a low speed of 45 r/min minutes.

4. sterilization way:

High-temperature boiling and washing achieve 99.9 bacterial inactivation through hot water above 90 ℃, which is suitable for high-temperature resistant cotton and linen clothing. Ultraviolet sterilization can destroy bacterial DNA at normal temperature without heating, which is suitable for infant clothing and families with allergic constitution. Silver ion sterilization achieves lasting bacteriostasis through slow release technology, but it should be noted that the silver ion concentration must meet the safety standards of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It is recommended to choose a model with “high temperature + ultraviolet” dual sterilization function, its sterilization effect is 50% higher than that of a single method, and chemical residues can be avoided.

5. capacity selection:

For a family of three, it is recommended to choose a capacity of 8-10kg, which can wash bed sheets and covers at one time. For a family of 5 or a family that often washes large curtains, it is necessary to choose a capacity of more than 12kg. It should be noted that the larger the capacity is, the better. Excessive capacity will lead to water and electricity waste and uneven washing. It is recommended to choose a model with “intelligent weighing” function, which can automatically adjust the water level and washing time according to the weight of clothes, and truly realize accurate washing water consumption.

Conclusion

Washing machine as a clean guard of the family, its purchase needs to take into account the professional parameters and actual needs. From the energy efficiency rating certified by Energy Star to the silent power of the direct drive motor, from the washing of the drum’s protective clothing to the health protection of double sterilization, every detail is related to the quality of life and family health. It is recommended to give priority to brand products that have passed international safety certification and provide perfect after-sales service according to the comprehensive consideration of family size, clothing type and budget. Only in this way can we feel the temperature of science and technology in every washing and taste the beauty of life in every 1 clothes.
