How to choose the perfect freestanding washing machine
What’s the one indispensable appliance in any home? It's the washing machine. With so many types and models available on the market today, buying a new one can be a bit overwhelming. Should you go with an integrated washing machine or a freestanding model? Today, we'll focus on the latter - freestanding washing machines. We’ll explore their advantages, why you should consider investing in one, and how to choose the perfect model for your home.
The Appeal of Freestanding Washing Machines
Freestanding washing machines are standalones and are not built into your kitchen or utility room cabinetry, giving the advantage of flexibility. You can move them easily whenever you need to, so during renovations or if you move house, the washing machine can go with you.
In terms of performance, freestanding washing machines often have the edge over the others. They generally have a larger capacity and faster spin speed than integrated machines, meaning, they can handle more laundry at once and offer better overall efficiency.
When to Choose a Freestanding Machine
Choosing a freestanding washing machine over an integrated model can come down to a few key factors:
1. Flexibility: Perfect for anyone in a rented home or plan to move soon, as a freestanding machine can go with you.
2. Performance: Ideal if you have a large family and lots of laundry to do, as freestanding machines tend to offer larger capacities.
3. Availability and Cost: Freestanding models are more common and are therefore often priced more competitively. Repairs are cheaper too, as parts are more readily available.
4. Variety: Freestanding washing machines offer a wider range of models and designs, so you can choose one that suits your style and needs.
How to Choose the Perfect Freestanding Washing Machine
When choosing an ideal freestanding washing machine, you should consider the following factors:
- Size and Capacity: Make sure the machine fits your space and that it has a large enough capacity for your family’s laundry needs.
- Energy Efficiency: Choose a model with a high energy-efficiency rating to save on bills and environmental impact.
- Spin Speeds and Programmes: Look for a machine with a variety of wash programmes and spin speeds that cater for different fabrics and levels of dirtiness.
- Noise Level: If you're sensitive to noise or your washing machine will be positioned close to living or sleeping areas, consider a model with a lower decibel rating.
- Brand Reputation and Reviews: Choose a reputable brand like Haier, and always check customer reviews before buying.
