One issue that families with small apartments need to pay attention to when purchasing home appliances is how to reasonably select appliances so that they better match the home decor and do not appear out of place in the overall space. Here are some points to consider when choosing a small-capacity refrigerator. Is it really enough to just look at the size? The answer is definitely no; you need to consider various qualities of the washing machine to select the most suitable product.
1. Floor space becomes key
Many people want to place the washing machine inside a cabinet, making front-loading machines the first choice.
Generally speaking, top-loading, i.e., pulsator washing machines occupy the least floor space, about 0.24 square meters, while other front-loading washing machines occupy similar space to pulsator machines. Pulsator washing machines have capacities ranging from 2 kg to 6 kg, and front-loading machines from 3 kg to 5 kg.
2. Low carbon and environmental protection are essential
Front-loading washing machines typically have a washing power of about 200 watts. If the water temperature is raised to 60 degrees Celsius, washing a load usually takes more than 100 minutes, consuming about 1.5 kWh of electricity. In comparison, pulsator washing machines have a power of about 400 watts and take at most 40 minutes per wash. Regarding water usage, front-loading machines use about 40% to 50% of the water that pulsator machines use.
3. Washing performance cannot be ignored
Most people believe the most important function of a washing machine is to clean clothes, so cleaning effectiveness is especially important; additionally, the wear and tear on clothes caused by the washing machine is also a factor that cannot be ignored.
Front-loading washing machines simulate hand washing, providing even cleaning and low wear, and clothes are less likely to tangle; pulsator washing machines have 10% higher cleaning effectiveness than front-loading machines, but naturally their wear rate is also 10% higher. In terms of cleaning effectiveness, the cleaning ratio of both pulsator and front-loading machines is greater than 0.70, with the wear rate of pulsator machines less than 0.15%, and front-loading machines less than 0.10%.
