Purchasing Your New Washing Machine
Purchasing Your New Washing Machine
Washing machines come in a variety of sizes and with as few or as many gadgets as you desire. But, in general, a washing machine is still just a big tub that when filled with water, agitates to scrub clothes clean and then spins to wring out as much water as possible from those clothes.
For most of us, the first decision about any appliance purchase will be a cost-effective one. However, don’t just consider the cost of a given washing machine; investigate the energy efficiency characteristics of your new purchase as the energy efficiency capabilities of it will determine future expenses of using the machine on a daily basis. Front-loading washing machines are the most energy efficient type of washing machine, but they also come with a much higher price tag than a top-loading machine.
Space is another factor in choosing your new washing machine. For a home with limited space, consider installing a stacked washer/dryer set-up. And, if you have room for a side-by-side washer and dryer, make sure you purchase a washer that has the same size capacity as the dryer you plan to match it with so you don’t find yourself with wet clothes lying around waiting to be dried because you can’t fit them into your dryer.
Lastly, you’ll want to decide what type tub you need and what gadgets you want on your machine. Frequency of clothes washing will determine what type tub you need. If you wash a lot of clothes, you’ll want to purchase a machine with a stainless steel tub, otherwise a porcelain-coated steel tub or a high-grade plastic one will suffice. As for the gadgets you want on your washing machine, the sky is the limit. You’re only limitation for gadgets will be your budget.
Once you’ve purchased your new washing machine, make sure it is installed properly and is in working order for your first load of laundry by contacting licensed plumber to install your new appliance.
