Choosing the right washing machine can be a real challenge. There are so many models, functions and sizes that you can quickly lose track. But don't worry - we have summarized the most important aspects so that you can find the washing machine type that fits your household perfectly.

1. Front loader or top loader - what is better for you?

The first decision you have to make is the choice between a front loader and a top loader.

• Front loaders : These models are usually space -saving and offer a larger selection of functions. They are ideal for households that have a lot of laundry and need different programs. In addition, front loaders can also be installed under a worktop or in a niche, which makes it a practical option for smaller apartments. Another advantage: they are usually more efficient in water and energy use.

• Top loaders : Top loaders offer the advantage that they can be conveniently loaded from above - ideal for people who do not want to bend down. They are perfect for small households or for people who often only have to wash smaller loads. However, the selection of top loaders is limited and the wash performance often does not quite correspond to the level of the front loaders.

 2. Capital - how much laundry do you wash regularly?

The capacity of a washing machine is an important factor in choosing the right model. If you live in a larger household, you should consider a model with a larger capacity. So avoid that you have to wash the laundry too often. The standard size is usually between 6 and 9 kg.

• 6-7 kg is often sufficient for smaller households

• For larger households (3 or more people) you should choose models with 8-10 kg capacity to make the washing day efficient.

 3. Special functions - what do you really need?

In addition to the standard functions, there are many additional features that can make the washing process more comfortable. Here are some options that you could consider:

• Quick wash programs : ideal for daily use if you need clean laundry quickly.
• Vapor programs: These programs help to reduce wrinkles and disinfect the laundry, which is particularly useful for allergies or sensitive skin.
• Self -cleaning drums: For more hygiene and a longer lifespan of the machine, this function ensures that the drum is cleaned.
• Start time preselection: With this function you can tack the wash cycle so that it starts exactly when it is most convenient for you.

5. Volume - how quiet is the washing machine?

Another important point in choosing the right washing machine is the volume. If your washroom is near living rooms or you often work near the machine, you should pay attention to a particularly quiet machine. Most machines have a volume of around 50 to 70 decibels - note that quieter is not always better. Some machines need more energy to work quietly.

 6. Price-performance ratio-what is your budget?

The price of a washing machine varies depending on the brand, functions and capacity. While cheap models cost between 300 and 500 euros, state -of -the -art machines with additional functions can also cost up to 1,000 euros or more. Make sure that the price is in relation to the functions and the benefit you expect from the machine. It is often worth investing a little more if the model has good energy efficiency and long durability.

 ▶ Conclusion: The right washing machine for your household

The choice of the right washing machine depends on your personal needs. If you live alone, a smaller model with good energy efficiency is often sufficient. For larger households, the investment in a model with a larger capacity and additional functions is worthwhile. When choosing, pay attention to energy efficiency, volume and special programs that can make everyday life easier.

My recommendation:
"If you are not sure which capacity you need, think about how often you use the machine and how large your amounts of your shrubs are on average. A larger machine can be a good investment, since you have to wash less, which saves energy in the long term. However, if you only wash small household quantities, a model with a smaller capacity and reduced functions could be better choice."
