Types of Washing Machines:

Here at Budget Appliances of Beckenham, we stock both freestanding and integrated washing machines.

Freestanding washing machines are one of the most popular types of washing machine. They can be placed anywhere as long as they’re connected to a drain and a plug socket. We stock them in a range of different sizes – from 5 kg to 12 kg capacities, and a range of different colours. When purchasing a freestanding washing machine, you will more than likely find that there are is a much wider range of drum capacities, features and colours. Though, a freestanding machine won’t blend in as seamlessly into a kitchen as an integrated model.

Integrated washing machines are designed to sit perfectly behind cupboard doors, so you don’t see them when the cupboard door is closed. They’ll create beautiful, seamless effect in any kitchen and will be completely hidden away. You will find that you’ll pay a little more for integrated appliances, but the aesthetic value you’ll gain from this is deemed worth it by many. You may also find that an integrated appliance is quieter than a freestanding model, thanks to its cupboard door blocking the sound.

 

Washing Machine Drum Sizes

A washing machine drum size is the weight of dry clothing you can safely wash in one go. Here at Budget Appliances of Beckenham, our washing machines have drum sizes ranging from 5 kg to 12 kg.

So, if you’re trying to decide on the right drum size for your household, it’s important to take into account your washing habits and needs. Think about how big your household is and roughly how many loads of washing you’ll put on a week. In most cases, a 7-8 kg drum will comfortably fit in a medium-sized household in the UK. Though if you do have a larger household that does require quite a few washes a week, you may find that you require a bigger drum capacity.

Don’t assume that buying the biggest capacity is the best idea. It will hold more laundry, which will mean that you can clean your washing in fewer loads, but if you aren’t filling the drum properly it will be costing you more to run. Wash little and often? Choose a smaller drum size. Wash all in one go? Choose a bigger drum size.

 

Washing Machine Performance

Most washing machines will come with four basic settings, but depending on the age and sophistication of the machine, they could come with many more including:

  • Cottons(rigorous washing action)
  • Synthetics or easy care (gentler action)
  • Delicate (similar to synthetics, but even gentler)
  • Woollens (plenty of water and careful handling)

It’s important to think about the clothing types you most frequently wash. Washing machines can offer a bewildering array of programmes ranging from jeans to sportswear and duvets to delicate.

If you’re looking out for just the handiest programmes, be sure to choose:

  • Quick wash – this cycle can run for as little as 15 minutes for a complete wash cycle. It’s only really designed to quickly freshen up the load, so don’t expect it to remove any tough stains.
  • Economy Wash – this will reduce the wash temperature but extend that length of the wash to compensate.
  • Hand Wash – This is great for washing more delicate materials and knitwear that you would normally wash by hand. This programme will reduce the drum agitation and the temperature to ensure that more delicate items are not damaged as they would be in a normal wash.
  • Extra Rinse – This increases the number of rinses and can be very helpful, especially if you have allergy sufferers in the home.
