Repairing Your Appliances

Posted on: 8 July 2015

If you want to save money while doing your laundry at home, you need to purchase a washing machine that comes with the right features. When you go shopping for your next washing machines, keep an eye out for the money saving features listed below. Many popular brands, such as Samsung, offer these features in their washing machine lines:

Load Sensing Feature

The first thing you should look for is a washing machine that has a load sensing feature. A load sensing features allows you to throw all of your clothes into the washing machine and let your washing machine figure out what load size setting it needs to be on. 

This helps eliminate the guesswork of trying to figure out if the load you just put in the washing machine is small, medium, large or extra-large. This feature allows you to select the correct setting for your clothes every time. This will allow you to save money since your washing machine will always use the right amount of water for your load. Long gone are the days where you underestimate the size of your load and end up with clothes that are not clean or when you overestimate the size of your load and end up wasting water and energy. 

Large Capacity

The next thing you should look for is a washing machine that can accommodate a large load of clothing easily.

Although it can be tempting to purchase an economy sized washer, if you are like most households, all an economy sized washer will do is give you a couple of extra inches of room in your laundry area. You will still have to wash the same amount of clothing, and will probably end up having to wash more loads if you purchase an economy sized washer. This will result in higher energy costs and more water waste.

When you purchase a washing machine that is built to accommodate larger loads, you can save up your laundry until you have a large load, and save money on energy and water by only washing one big load of clothing instead of multiple smaller loads. 

Automatic Water Temperature Control

Finally, you should look for a washing machine that has automatic and advanced water temperature controls.

You can purchase a machine that actually adjusts the amount of hot and cold water it uses based on the temperature of the water coming from your water heater. Most washers just use a pre-set amount of hot and cold water, and do not actively try to conserve water by taking the temperatures into account.

You can also purchase a machine that uses less water and uses the water more effectively. There are now washing machines on the market that are capable of conserving energy and cleaning your clothes more effectively without using excessive amounts of hot water.

If you want to save money while doing your laundry, you need to purchase a washing machine that will allow you to save on energy and water output for the life of the washing machine. If you choose the right machine, you will be able to reduce your impact on the world with every load you wash. If you stay on top of the maintenance, your new washing machines should be able to work for years to come.
