| Did you know the first washing machine was invented in 1767 by Jacob Schäffer, although we are pretty sure it wouldnt stand up to todays cleaning demands! The spin speed is quite important when you select a washing machine as the faster it can spin, the dryer the clothes are, therefor the less time and energy they take to dry. Manafacturers are more aware of the environment so youll find machines that are rated ( AA being the Best ) for things like energy and water consumption. Some washing machine have whats called a Direct drive motor, this is when the motor is almost part of the drum, rather than conventional machines that have a seperate motor and drum that are connected via a belt. The direct drive machines are a lot quiete The size of the wash load should be considered you want a machine that will take the size of load you require, at the moment 6kg is a good load size. Agitation is a buzz word when it comes to wasing machines, this is basically the movement of the drum causing the clothes to be moved aginst each other and the drum fins. |
