洗衣机类型

洗衣机尺寸

Front Loading Washing Machines

High efficiency (HE) Front loading washing machines represent the new generation in manufacturing. Compared to the top loading washing machines, they do a better job of cleaning while proving gentler fabric care. Although some front loaders have quick wash programs you get the benefit of intense cleaning with extended duration cycles.

先进的水进气喷射,蒸汽技术和特殊的鼓动作旨在提供出色的清洁,而无需洗涤剂残留物。另外,特殊的鼓图案减少了织物中的小泪。与10年前的洗衣机相比,所有这些都以环境友好的方式进行了环境友好的方式。

前负载垫圈的旋转率高(RPM)浴缸速度高,从而在自旋周期内降低了机器中布的水分含量。RPM的增加减少了洗涤和干燥时间,因此可以节省使用的能量dryer

Generally, you can place these machines side-by-side or as a stackable washer and dryer set with the dryer on top.

前负载洗机器


Top Loading Washing Machine with Agitator

Agitator top load washers运动是原始设计之一。这些产品现在是最经济的选择。每个清洗周期中的水中用水和洗涤剂都用水和洗涤剂洗涤,这会消耗大量的水。当洗衣机放在地下室或缺少气流的房间中时,顶部装载洗衣机是一个流行的选择。凭借最高负载的设计,盖子的水排水最小化霉菌和霉菌的生长。

High Efficiency Top Loading Washing Machines

这种类型的洗衣机结合了前负载垫圈的技术和顶部负载垫圈的出色洗涤结果。该洗衣机的笨重物品具有更高的负载能力,例如棉被比搅拌器式的顶部负载垫圈。

Between their load capacity and cleaning performance, they are a popular choice for families that often launder bulkier items like bed linens and towels.

什么是清洁性能?

洗衣机设计采用先进技术,旨在洗涤当今的现代面料。Steam Technology是一种创新的功能,可以消毒,去除顽固的污渍和过敏原,并减少衣服的皱纹。制造商还考虑了旨在去除残留洗涤剂和水软化剂的冲洗循环的性能。

Energy Efficiency

制造商根据美国能源之星法规设计其产品。满足并经常超过这些法规。大多数制造商都添加了基于负载的大小,自动洗涤剂分配和冲洗以及自旋周期监测的传感器等功能。

哪个更好;前负载还是最高负载?

由于其柔和的衣服,彻底清洁,更少的水和快速干燥,通常认为前负载的洗衣机被认为更好。使用前负载洗衣机,您也可以将洗衣机和烘干机堆叠在一起,一个另一个。但是顶部负荷洗衣机更容易使用,并快速洗衣服。

噪音和振动

While Front-load washers are generally quieter, there are several reasons why your washer is too noisy or vibrates. A washer placed on an unlevel surface may vibrate, thanks to the speed of the washing tub. An unbalanced load also will cause the washer to become quite noisy.

Go for a washer with adjustable legs and make sure they are adjusted to create a level surface or stand for the washer. Ensure the washer is never overloaded at any time. Refer to your manual for the correct load capacity of each cycle.


尺寸,配置和人体工程学

It is always better to consider the available space for the washing machine before getting one. This will aid your choice of washing machine type and size. Top load washers tend to be narrower than the front load type and may work best for tight corners.

但是,尽管前负载垫圈可能会更大一些,但它们也可以与干衣机一起堆叠在一起,以创建更多的空间。选择更适合可用空间的洗衣机类型。如果您能够负担得起额外的空间,也可以选择可以处理更大负载的较大垫圈。

前负载洗涤器


洗衣机配置

洗衣机配置似乎是一个较小的细节,但增加了整体用户体验。您首选的门秋千类型是什么?您是否想在打开洗衣机门时避免摸索某人的脸?哪个洗衣机尺寸最适合您的家?

24英寸紧凑的洗衣机和干衣机非常适合一个适度洗衣服的小房子。但是,如果您需要处理较大的负载,则可以使用27英寸的型号。您也可能需要考虑获得即使使用配件也很接近冲洗的洗衣机。

Washer-Dryer-Configurations


Connectivity

使用Wi-Fi连接用于简单目的,例如遥控,时机,服务呼叫和警报,已以用户对家用电器的期望提高了标准。尽管该技术尚未完全渗透到该行业中,但我们列表中的大多数洗衣机(如三星WV60M990AV)都配备了Wi-Fi技术来用于遥控。

FAQs

如何清洁洗衣机?

让我们先谈谈首先清洁前装载洗衣机。只需卸下机器前面的洗涤剂抽屉即可。通过使用瓶刷清洁腔内清洁剂残留物,然后用温水清洗洗涤剂抽屉。

Don't forget to clean and rub the rubber seals around the washer door with bleach. If you see any signs of mold on the door gasket immediately fight it with bleach, time is not on your side.

至于洗衣机的鼓和内部,我们的清洁说明对于顶载或前装载产品是相同的。在高温周期中使用在零售商店或自制小苏打和醋溶液中发现的洗衣机清洁剂。另外,您可以在高温清洗程序中使用漂白剂。高端洗衣机通常带有“机器清洁”周期。通常,这些程序会要求您填充漂白室,并让机器清洁周期发挥魔力。

What quantity of water does a washing machine use?

洗衣机使用的水量主要取决于设备和型号的年龄。高效率(HE)垫圈在水管理方面比其他型号更好。

大多数他的洗衣机使用约15至30加仑,相当于56.8至113.6升水。相比之下,老年洗衣机使用约29-45加仑等于109.7至170升水的水,以清洗相同数量的衣服。

如何绕过洗衣机水位传感器
If you feel that the water dispensed is not enough to wash the clothes effectively, then you may need to bypass the water level sensor. The washing machine uses the weight of the laundry load to find out just how much water to dispense. So, you only need to increase the apparent weight of your clothes.

将衣服添加到洗衣机上后,将大约1加仑的水倒在衣服上,让它们浸入水中。当您开始清洗周期时,负载传感器将分配额外的水量以匹配负载的明显重量。
