After reading through countless blog, articles and newspaper cuttings of people talking about things such as the top 5 washing techniques and top tips when buying a washing machine, I have decided to let everyone know the top 5 horrors that a washing machine can cause. We will now take a look in detail at various washing machine horrors.
1) Firstly washing machines have a great tendency to change the colours of your best clothes. It's a bit like getting the hair dye that you never wanted, so be sure to completely separate your black from your colours and your colours from your whites.
2) Washing machines do have an appetite for clothes especially socks, you can put a pair of socks in the machine and then when you go to take them out, they have totally disappeared. Could it be magic? No of course not you should always put your socks into a bag when you wash them so that they do not go down one of the escape routes.
3) Another tendency that washing machines seem to have is they love to shrink clothes, the smaller the better. No this is not a true fact and you should carefully check each item to make sure it is processed at the right temperature.
4) Some washing machines, especially the cheaper versions have the ability to set alight, that's right if these types of washing machines are left on over a long period of time or throughout the night, they may cause a house or business fire which is not very good news. So be sure to get yourself a top of the range reliable washing machine.
5) Finally there is the terrible horror of a child or a small pet climbing into a washing machine and getting trapped inside. To avoid this type of situation you should always place a normal lock or child lock on your machine, this way nothing will be able to get into the drum.
So there are your top five washing machine horror stories, if you take good care and diligence, you will not only avoid these situations but you will be able to wash your clothes with the ease of mind that they will not change colour, shrink or get trapped in the escape routes. But you should always remember that obtaining a good quality washing machine will hopefully eliminate all of the above problems.
Top Loading Washing Machine
In the market for a durable washing machine? Perhaps you are confused. That is because in the current market, there are so many different options that you can choose from. There are different brands available (many of them top brands), and for each brand, they offer many different models. In addition, the technology used for each and every model is supposedly different. So where do you being and how do you come to a buying decision? Here are some tips on how you can narrow your scope.
Your washing load.
Your washing load mainly depends on your lifestyle and the number of family members you have in the household. Obviously, if you have a huge family, you are going to need a bigger and more powerful washing machine. The size of washing machines are measured in litres. The larger the washing machine, the more water and electricity will be consumed. That leads to higher bills in the long run. So don't just go for size. If you do not have such a huge family, don't buy a washing machine with excess capacity. That will just drain your wallet.
Front loading vs top loading.
This is perhaps your biggest concern because there is a price difference of several hundred dollars between the two. Broadly speaking, if you have a limited of less than four hundred dollars, you can forget about buying a front loading washing machine. But cost is seemingly the only advantage that top loaders have against front loaders.
Technologically speaking, front loading washing machines are far superior compared to top loading machines. The greatest advantage, is its ability to save water. The washing drums in top loaders stand vertically. So you have to fill it up with water for the washing to proceed. Front loaders have washing drums that work in a similar manner, but the drums are positioned horizontally. As the drum rotates during a wash, the machine makes use of gravity to pull the clothes and water downwards. This helps to save water and electricity.
In addition, during a rinse, top loaders have to refill the drum with water. Front loaders simply use sprays, which helps save gallons of water. In the long run, you will save more on energy bills. The only drawback is the initial investment that you have to put in. How long it takes for you to recoup the investment depends on the model you choose.
There are other side benefits as well. For example, you can expect front loaders to go easier on your clothes, thus extending the life of your clothes. You also don't have to lift up the basket of dirty clothes and transfer the clothes into a top loader. Simply open the lid, and throw your clothes in there.
There is, however, some good news. As more and more households begin to adopt front loading machines due to energy efficiency, the cost of the machines are coming down as well. Today, most households should be able to afford a front loading washing machine.
