Washing machine for rural areas or cottages

Washing machine for cottages and rural areas What wishes do people have for a washing machine that they want to use in the countryside or in the countryside? As a rule, this is a moderate cost, economical in water and electricity consumption and good washing quality. That is, for comfortable housing outside the city, we need to choose a model of household appliances that will combine all these qualities.

There are plenty of opportunities to get dirty outside the city! You can tinker in the ground, digging in the beds. You can get dirty with the juice from delicious ripe berries. You can let the children go for a walk and then look in surprise at light clothes with green traces of grass. And if you wash it all by hand, you can just go crazy! In our age of modern technology, manual ones are gradually becoming a thing of the past. Yes, it continues to be highly valued in art, painting, sculpture, but in washing things, it is clearly not necessary! A good washing machine will wash any dirty clothes just as well as you can. Meanwhile, you can enjoy the fresh air and the charm of nature. Tempting, isn't it?

That's why a machine is simply necessary for a summer residence. We hope that you have already decided to buy yourself this wonderful “helper”. By the way, we will talk about her further.

Choosing a washing machine for the cottage

Based on the type of washing, all modern machines can be divided into two types:

Drum type - it includes household appliances in which washing is carried out by a rotating drum. It combines water, powder and dirty laundry. And due to rotation, a mechanical effect occurs, which helps the resulting solution penetrate the tissue and eliminate contaminants.
Activator type - in such machines the active part is a disk with protruding elements. It is also involved in the mechanical processing of dirty laundry with a solution of water and washing powder.

Save money when purchasing

Washing machine - saving money In terms of savings, you can buy a semi-automatic washing machine. But from the point of view of reducing labor costs, we definitely recommend an automatic machine. She takes responsibility for all stages of washing and gives you, although wet, laundry that has already been washed, rinsed and wrung out. By the way, there are also drying machines. They can completely dry washed items. Semi-automatic devices are already becoming obsolete. In many stores that sell household appliances, you will no longer be able to find such models. In others, they still exist, but will soon die out like dinosaurs and disappear from the shelves.

A good washing machine is not cheap. And you shouldn’t save too much on it. True, there is one little secret, how you can find a machine 10-20% cheaper than in a regular store. Ptry looking for it in online stores. Often prices in online stores are significantly lower than in regular stores. This is explained by the fact that to maintain a store on the Internet, its owners do not need to rent expensive premises in the most accessible places in the city. They can set up a warehouse somewhere where rent is cheaper. Or they may not have their own warehouse at all, and purchase equipment from the warehouse of their colleagues. And due to savings, set lower prices.

You can also wait for some promotion. Large retail chains often lure customers by significantly reducing prices on a small number of goods. By purchasing a car at such a sale, you can save quite a lot.

By the way, another way to save money is to choose a washing machine that has limited functionality. Models that have only the most necessary functions usually cost much less than those that have a large number of different programs and modes.

Important qualities of a washing machine for rural areas

Washing machine qualities One of the most important requirements that should be placed on a machine in the country is good washing quality. Perhaps this requirement is much more important than high-quality spinning or the presence of a built-in dryer. The European measuring scale, which is used to indicate this parameter, contains English letters. And those cars that received the status with the letter “A” are the best. Those marked with the letter “B” are a little worse. "C" is even worse. And so on until the letter "G".

Spin has exactly the same scale. And its quality is measured in much the same way. As we said above, this parameter is not the most important for country washing. Since there is often enough free space in the garden to place laundry to dry. And if it dries a little longer, then nothing bad will happen.

Built-in drying of things is also optional. But if you are a supporter of getting dry laundry as quickly as possible and you don’t care about some overpayment, then you can buy a washing machine with a good spin and even drying.

Economical energy consumption is one of the most important indicators for people who do not want to overpay for electricity. There is also a scale for indicating the electrical consumption of the machine.

As you probably already guessed, it is also based on the Latin alphabet:

The most economical option is cars with the “A++” sign. They consume no more than 0.15 kW/kg.
Next comes “A+”, these washing machines require less than 0.17 kW/kg.
The next type will be cars “A”, then “B”, “C”, “D” and so on until the letter “G”. The closer the letter is located in the English alphabet to the letter “G”, the more energy this household appliance consumes.

The amount of laundry that can be washed at one time is also an important factor when choosing a washing machine. Standard front-loading washing machines can wash 5 to 7 kg of laundry at a time. If you buy a narrow or petite model, it will often be less powerful and unable to handle as many dirty items. In order to wash such a volume of laundry in it, you will need to do two washes.

Semi-automatic washing machines

Semi-automatic washing machine If you are on a very limited budget, you can purchase a semi-automatic machine. Yes, it won’t do everything for you, like automatic machines do, but it will still make your laundry easier. There are also quite small machines of this type. Many people remember “baby” or small activator-type washing machines. They are good for you if you have limited space. In addition, they are quite lightweight and can be easily brought and taken away by car when needed.

“Malyutka” can wash up to 3 kg of clothes without any problems. You will have to press it out with your own hands, since this function is not provided. Such machines cost very little and this is their most positive quality. Perhaps now they are quite difficult to find for sale in stores, since they are obsolete. But finding used cars in newspapers for free classifieds or on boards on the Internet will not be a problem.

In it you can find interesting offers for the sale and purchase of used household appliances. By the way, you can also buy an automatic machine there. But when purchasing, you should be very careful not to purchase non-working household appliances. Try to check everything you buy secondhand. Better yet, ask someone knowledgeable to help you check. This way you will avoid buying a damaged machine.
