We can’t do without certain appliances in the home, and a washing machine is one of them. In fact, it’s hard to imagine living without one! But if you have an old model or your current one has broken down (and it would cost more to replace a part rather than buy one), you can definitely benefit from a washing machine with all the features. Like other appliances, washing machines are continuously evolving, and the models you can find nowadays are even better. With a list of features that include load capacity and wash settings to spin cycle and efficiency, what should you really be looking for when you are eyeing a new washing machine, especially in 2023? Let’s find out.
Energy efficiency
In recent years, energy efficiency has become an all-important consideration when purchasing any appliance, particularly with the cost of energy rising as we speak. That said, look for machines with a high energy rating. For example, energy-efficient washing machines use less water and energy than traditional machines, which can help lower your utility bills.
A large capacity
A washing machine’s capacity is crucial, especially if you have a larger household. When it comes to capacity, consider washing machines with a capacity of 5 – 6 cubic feet or more. Some great examples are available at washing machines Cork suppliers like Irwins Megastore (and they come with a range of discounts to boot). With this, you can wash more laundry in a single load, saving you time and energy.
Smart features
You may also want to think about smart washing machines, which are becoming increasingly popular – and for good reason. With WiFi connectivity, remote monitoring, and voice control features, smart washing machines offer convenience and flexibility that traditional machines cannot match. In fact, they can even suggest the best cycle for your laundry load based on the weight, fabric, and dirt level!
Fast wash cycles
In today’s fast-paced world, time is of the essence. And the same is true with your washing machine. Look for one with quick wash cycles that can wash a load of laundry in 30 minutes or less – and this is ideal for households that need to wash their clothes quickly, such as busy professionals or parents.
Quiet operation
Washing machines can be noisy, which can be a nuisance, especially if you have an open-plan living space. Another feature you may want to look for is a machine with quiet operation features, such as noise-reducing insulation or a direct-drive motor. With this, you can operate your washing machine without disrupting your daily routine.
Auto dispense
Of course, one feature that has proven very handy indeed is an auto dispensing feature that automatically adds the right amount of detergent and fabric softener to your load based on the weight, fabric, and dirt level. This feature ensures you use the right amount of detergent, reducing waste and saving you money in the long run.
A user-friendly display
The display is the interface between you and your washing machine, so choosing a machine with a user-friendly display is important. Look for machines with clear and easy-to-read displays that provide essential information such as cycle time, remaining time, and cycle status. Happy shopping!
