Now, few people remember the days when womenI had to wash and rinse my clothes by hand, and then squeeze them as hard as possible so that it dried out faster. Fortunately, modern hostesses are not familiar with such problems, but on the other hand they faced another difficulty - as in the midst of this variety of products that many brands brought to the Russian market, to choose a really high-quality washing machine so that it is compact and not very expensive. , over the course of several years, prices for this household appliance, which is being assembled in the territory of the Russian Federation and other post-Soviet states, have grown by an average of 58%. But at the same time, the quality of the washing machines themselves has grown. Therefore, to choose a decent compact model (no more than 45 cm in depth), it is necessary to pay attention not only to the price-quality ratio, but also to the features of the machine that are relevant for you.

To begin with, it is worth choosing a model with front loading - such washing machines are very convenient to use and “not capricious”. In addition, if suddenly something happens with this technique, then repairing it will be much cheaper than the same vertical models, the design of which is much more complicated. Yes, and through the transparent hatch you can observe how the laundry is spinning, and if you (everything happens!) Have thrown to wash the nest or documents, then you can immediately stop the program and pull out your valuables. If you have already decided on the type of load and chose a place for your compact washing machine, then it's time to study and compare the characteristics of the models you like. And first of all you should pay attention to the capacity of the drum, which is on average from 3 to 7 kg. For example, if your family consists of 3-4 people, then you need a loading capacity of 5-6 kg. And do not forget about the minimum weight of clothes that can be loaded into the washing machine. This is also a very important criterion, which many people forget. Indeed, uneven loading of the drum can lead to premature wear of parts and breakage. But we are sure that your plans are not at all included! Therefore, it is better to choose the washing machine that is equipped with a system that does not allow spinning if the machine is not fully loaded and not evenly. The following important parameters are washing, spinning and energy saving. All the comparison parameters of modern models of washing machines are standardized and evaluated according to the accepted scale (the first 7 letters of the Latin alphabet from A to G are used). Each copy is completed with a special liner, which reflects the classes of washing, spinning, power consumption and other characteristics. As for power consumption, generally accepted European standards provide 7 classes of devices, denoting them with Latin letters from A (the highest and most economical class) to G (the most low class). These rates are determined by the consumption of electricity per hour when washing one kilogram of cotton linen.

Photo: press service archive Many people prefer washing machines with a drying function. But it's up to you to decide. After all, the built-in fan heater "eats" a lot of electricity, so think about what is more important to you - comfort or savings. It is also good if the model you like has a child protection function, leakage protection, possible power surge protection, a locking drum door when the machine is running, and is also silent (during washing, the machines make 55 decibels of noise, and when spinning, it makes 70 to 76 decibels). Additional functions will be a nice bonus, for which you will have to pay extra. This could be, for example, intelligent washing control, laundry balancing during spinning, an ironing function, a malfunction alarm, and other features provided by certain models.
