Why you need to upgrade your washing machine now!
In the last ten years washing machines have undergone an efficiency revolution. They now use, on average, a third less water and energy as they used to. And if that isn't reason enough for you to upgrade, read on, you may find yourself in the white goods section much sooner than you think.
Efficiency
Efficiency is the name of the game for all kitchen appliances these days. Improvements benefit your bank balance, and the environment. New washing machines use a variety of innovations to increase efficiency, including Panasonic's tilting drum that significantly reduces the amount of water required to wash clothes thoroughly.
There are also machines that turn off automatically when the cycle is finished, so not a drop of electricity is wasted on blinking lights.
The advent of cold washes, economy cycles and even sensors that ensure the amount of water exactly matches the load, prevents your machine from using more energy that it needs to. More importantly, ensuring you are never paying more than you need to run it.
Innovation
There are some truly impressive innovations in washing machine technology that may well leave your current machine far behind.
Noise reduction technology, including sound proofing, vibration reduction and quieter motors means you no longer have to turn up the volume to drown out the sound of your clothes spinning.
If you ever suffer from white detergent marks on your clothes, you will be interested to hear that there are now machines that can detect this, and will run another rinse spin automatically.
Problems with your clothes sticking to the sides of the drum? Many washing machines now have a variable spin speed, or tumble' feature that prevents this, leaving you with a much cleaner wash.
Style
If style is the top of your list, now is definitely a good time to invest in a new washing machine. No longer are you forced to choose white; silver, black and blue washing machines are now almost common place. If you're looking to make a statement you can also find machines in much brighter colours.
Suits you sir
The variety of washing machines now available means there is no need to put up with one that isn't exactly suited to your needs. Washing machines for one, with a neat 5kg capacity prevent you wasting energy and money if you don't have many clothes to wash. On the other hand if you have a large family washing machines with a capacity up to 30kg are available.
If your children are of the adventurous type, many machines now come with a child locking device that prevents curious button-pressing fingers from causing havoc with the controls.
If you are short on space, outside or in, a washer drier could be the answer. Current models are far more efficient than older alternatives, and include humidity sensors that ensure your clothes are crease free and ready to wear as soon as the drum stops turning.
