Spin class of washing machines - which is better?

Spin in the washing machine If you want to buy a washing machine, then you should evaluate all its qualities. It is not uncommon that we want to use our household appliances for many years. Therefore, it is worth understanding at least those functions of the machine that you will use regularly. And if you are interested in the spin class, then it is worth taking some time to study it. In this article we will look at the different spin classes, their effectiveness and which one will be best for you.

Classification

The classification of such an important washing process as spinning is closely related to the number of revolutions the washing machine can make. Typically, the speed of automatic machines ranges from 400 to 1200 rpm. And the effectiveness of the automatic laundry spinning process depends on how wet the washed items remain after spinning.

This is calculated quite simply. To do this, we need to weigh the laundry that has already been wrung out. Then wait until it is completely dry and weigh again. And when we already know both numbers, all we have to do is subtract the weight of dry laundry from the weight of wet laundry, divide the resulting value by the weight of dry laundry and multiply by one hundred percent.

There is also a European standard for the quality of drying clothes. It is supported worldwide. And it is based on the Latin alphabet. In accordance with this standard, high-quality spin is marked with the letter “A”. A little worse - the letter “B”. Even worse - the letter “C”. And so on. The last letter in this classification is "G".

Let's look at this classification in more detail. Let's start from the worst indicator:

“G” - this letter tells us that the spin quality corresponds to a figure of more than 90%. This means that the humidity of the item after spinning will be more than 90%.
“F” – this designation corresponds to laundry humidity from 81 to 90%.
“E” - this value indicates 72-81 percent moisture.
“D” – corresponds to values from 63 to 72 percent.
“C” – 54-63 percent.
“B” means that this washing machine is capable of spinning an item, leaving a moisture content of 45-54 percent.
“A” is the highest quality. It guarantees us a humidity of less than 45% percent.

In addition to the number of revolutions of the drum, the process of spinning clothes is also affected by the way it rotates. For example, some washing machines have a spin mode without ironing. Its drum rotates in a special way, it periodically changes the speed of rotation and due to this technique, such an effect is achieved that the laundry does not wrinkle during the spin cycle. Therefore, after washing, you can not iron the clothes, but simply hang them to dry and do without an iron after drying.

So which type of spin should you choose?

As practice shows, the need for a number of revolutions in a washing machine over 1000 does not make much sense for spinning. Now, if you compare four hundred and six hundred revolutions, then the difference is significant. Since at four hundred, the humidity of the item will be approximately 90 percent, and at six hundred - seventy-five. At a thousand revolutions, the humidity of the wrung out item will be approximately 60 percent. Which is quite acceptable, especially considering that regular room air has similar humidity.

Quite often, machines with a high number of revolutions cost significantly more than those with fewer revolutions per minute.However, from a practical point of view, not every person is able to distinguish the difference between the humidity of things wrung out at 1000 rpm and at 1500 rpm. This difference can only be noticeable on items made of thick fabric. For example, on jeans or a coat.

In other cases, too many revolutions can have a bad effect on the laundry. In addition, items taken out after such washing may be excessively wrinkled. And then they will have to be smoothed out for a long time. Therefore, we recommend not to chase too many revolutions. It’s better to focus on the quality of the machine.

Tips for those who are planning to buy a washing machine

Buying a washing machine One master I know advised to buy washing machines only made abroad. If you believe his words, then household appliances are Italian and German assembly distinguished by high quality work. And it breaks down much less often than the same Italian and German cars that are assembled in Russia or China.

You may also be interested in energy consumption class of washing machines. After all, some machines consume a lot of electricity, while others consume little. Moreover, both of them can wash clothes with approximately the same quality. Therefore, we recommend choosing economical machines.

The most economical household appliances have the sign: “A++”; models with the designations “A+” and “A” are also recommended for purchase. They consume a little more electricity. Next come the stamps with the symbols “B”, “C”, “D” and so on up to the letter “G” inclusive. True, you are unlikely to find the latter on store shelves. Since now all manufacturers are striving to improve the parameters of their equipment. And more and more often you can notice models “A”, “A+” and “A++”.

We hope you will purchase a machine that will work for many years. And it will delight you with the quality of washing and spinning your clothes. Read our website. And have a nice day!
