Several decades ago, washing turned into a kind of ritual for housewives. This is a huge number of basins in the bathroom, a back tired of rinsing and a lack of manicure, especially after washing bed linen and outerwear. Now there is no problem with this, since almost every family has such a wonderful assistant as a washing machine.
Washing machine selection
Washing machines differ in power, speed, feature set, energy class, size. But in general, all models can be divided into: front-loading and top-loading appliances. The front loading washing machine is extremely popular in Russia. Many buyers give preference to her because of her appearance, namely, because of the presence of a beautiful porthole through which you can spy on the washing process. Also, due to their size, such washing machines will fit perfectly into the kitchen interior. The front-loading (front) loading assistant can be easily installed under a common worktop, thanks to height adjustment and a removable top cover on some models.
Less popular in our country is a top-loading washing machine. Although in Western countries, on the contrary, such models are in first place in popularity. Russian buyers are not very happy with their appearance, limited design and the inability to put anything on the washing machine compared to similar front-loading appliances.
Vertical loading: pros without cons
A top-loading washing machine (reviews of which confirm this) has several advantages over front-loading. It is compact and convenient, especially in small bathrooms. It does not require additional space to open, and most importantly, it is more reliable, since the drum of such a machine is held on both sides by two bearings, so they fail less often.
The top-loading washing machine is said to be - consumer reviews confirm - quieter. Due to the fact that such units have a hatch on top, rubber gaskets fail less often, therefore, water leakage in the event of a breakdown is practically impossible.
Benefits of vertical loading
Satisfied owners note that the top-loading washing machine (reviews speak for themselves) allowsto report the laundry during washing, and also it wrinkles the laundry less during the drying process. The top-loading model, which holds 6 kilograms of laundry, is smaller in size than the front-loading appliance. The location of the program setting buttons is high, which is especially convenient in families with small children, therefore, do not worry that the child will switch the program during washing.
Due to the fact that the laying of linen is carried out from above, the top-loading washing machine, reviews have repeatedly confirmed this, will be convenient to use for the elderly and those who find it difficult to bend over to lay linen for washing.
