New Washing Machine

Nine reasons to buy a new washing machine

Sooner or later, any equipment falls into disrepair. Over time, it begins to cope with its functions worse. This is understandable: components and parts wear out and do not work as smoothly as before. Sometimes, it is better not to bring the situation to the point when the device has already completely stopped performing its main task.

There are also cases when it is worth changing appliances before the first signs of wear and tear of internal parts appear. In this article, I will look at a new washing machine as an example and determine the reasons for buying a new appliance. In addition, at the end, I will give links to a selection of washing machines that can be purchased with discounts/coupons on Black Friday.

1. You will be able to do more laundry at a time

Manufacturers are working to provide users with the ability to load more laundry into the machine’s drum. At the same time, the dimensions of the appliance remain the same.

Not so long ago, it was possible to wash up to 13 lb of laundry in one wash. Today, it is easy to wash 15-17 lb of laundry at one time. If we talk about small-sized models, their capacity is up to 15 lb, although a few years ago they could be loaded only with up to 7.7 lb of laundry.

2. Advanced design

More and more often, manufacturers are installing inverter motors in new washing machines. Their existence was known before, but a few years ago their cost was too high, and the choice was very limited.

The inverter motor does not work so loudly, at the same time, it is more economical. Since there are no brushes in its design, you will not have to replace them.

A number of models have very useful features, including TurboWash, which contributes to quality soaking of laundry. In washing machines with such functions, the rotation of the rear wall of the drum is carried out separately from the rest of the structure.

It takes only 40 minutes for a full cycle, as a result, the user gets well washed clothes. We are sure that in an old machine you are using now, half an hour would have been enough only to freshen the laundry.

In modern models, there are other design changes and improvements, but not all of them are visible. For example, now manufacturers are trying to install full leakage protection everywhere, abandoning partial protection (which used to be the case in the past).

3. A wider range of programs

Modern budget models offer a variety of modes, including a separate program for washing children’s clothes, shirts, down jackets, jeans and other categories. Almost all models remove even old and heavily embedded stains.

This requires the function of soaking the laundry in water at a temperature of 40 degrees. In a number of models, there is a function of processing things with steam. Thus, the detergent is well dissolved and things are washed even more effectively. There is also a function of smoothing and disinfecting the laundry.

4. Easy to operate

One of the reasons why you should replace your old appliance with a new automatic washing machine is simplicity in operating. It is possible to wash and make changes in washing settings using a smartphone.

The user only needs to pour detergent and load the laundry into the drum. Conveniently, modern models have a delayed washing function. Just specify the desired time to start washing in your smartphone, and the machine will start working even if you are not at home.

5. Ability to wash more types of laundry

It is unlikely possible to wash a down jacket or delicate summer clothes, which we are used to washing by hand, in outdated models. Modern washing machines have functions to wash silk and woolen items, as well as other things that we used to be afraid to spoil by washing in an automatic machine.

If you buy and install a new machine, it will be able to wash everything in your closet. The appliance will use more water with the temperature remaining low. Depending on the mode set, there may be a reduced or no spin speed when spinning.

This way, the appearance of the washed clothes will remain perfect and unchanged. Also, some appliances ‘understand’ when things in the drum have become tangled and begin to untangle them. If this is not possible, the appliance starts reducing the speed.

6. Availability of a dryer

Rest assured that you will think about replacing your old washing machine with a newer one after you learn that modern models are equipped with a drying function. Getting washed and dry clothes is worth a lot.

Especially for a working person, a young mom or a busy individual who don’t have enough time to hang out the laundry and wait for it to dry. In the past, models that were equipped with a drying function were very expensive and did not guarantee a desired result.

Lots of clothing items that had undergone both washing and drying did not look very nice and new. Now, such appliances are also more expensive than conventional washing machines. But the difference in price is not that big. Moreover, after drying, clothes will look new and nice.

7. Minimum control

The newer the machine, the less attention and involvement it requires from the user. For example, new models can weigh the clothes placed in the drum. They are also able to optimize the program depending on the weight right during the washing cycle by adjusting the rinse intensity and spin speed.

The degree of soiling of the clothes is automatically detected as well. With this feature, washing machines can dose and save detergent when the level of soiling is light.
There are other ‘tricks’ as well. In particular, some machines can clean the drum.

The user also has access to a special mode that can prevent the appearance of unpleasant odor, soap scum or mold. The latest models are equipped with a stunning ‘abilities’ that are able to select independently the washing program.

All you have to do is to take a photo of your clothes in front of the washing machine, upload it to a special application and receive recommendations on the optimal washing mode.

8. Guarantee

All appliance owners prefer to obtain a warranty, so that, in the event of a breakdown, they can take advantage of free repair or replacement of a specific part. In the past, the user was given a warranty for the entire washing machine.

Today, motors may have an extended warranty period. Some brands provide a warranty for ten years. If such a warranty applies to the motor, consider replacing the old machine with a new one.

After all, in this case, you can have peace of mind for ten years regarding the most important part.

9. Cost-effectiveness

The older the machine, the higher its water and energy consumption. On older models, you may see such marks as A or B. Today, however, you will find energy consumption classes such as A+ or A+++.

Modern models have a system of automatic weighing of clothes, respectively, water and detergent will be used as much as precisely necessary to wash a certain amount of laundry.

Taking into account all the above information, it is clear that it makes a lot of sense and financial benefit buying a new washing machine with a full set of useful functions. Rest assured that the purchase will soon pay off because modern appliances are characterized by low indicators of water and energy consumption.
