1. KEYPOINTS- SEMI AUTOMATIC WASHING MACHINES PRICE
- The best thing about semi-automatic washing machines is that they are much cheaper than full-automatic washing machines. They cost almost half or less and this is their biggest advantage.
- Semi-automatic washing machines are the most water-efficient. They wash clothes with half the water used by front load or top load fully automatic washing machines.
- There are at most 2-3 wash programs in these machines but the best part is they are highly customizable. Clothes can be inserted or taken out at any time. In fact, clothes can be taken out even in the middle of the program.
- There are at most 2-3 wash programs in these machines but the best part is they are highly customizable. Clothes can be inserted or taken out at any time. In fact, clothes can be taken out even in the middle of the program.
- Along with customizable programs, these have faster washing capabilities. Clothes get washed fast. The Wash cycle in the semi-automatic washing machine will complete within 38-45 minutes whereas in a fully automatic washing machine it takes 45 min- 3hours.
2. If semi automatic washing machines are so good, then why do people buy fully automatic?
- These are more effort and time-consuming. First, you need to insert clothes, then take them out and put them in the drain, and then you take them out and put them for drying because these washing machines do not dry out the clothes entirely. This will consume both- more time and effort.
- You are wrong if you think semi-automatic washing machines give the best cleaning. Semi-automatic washing machines do not give the best of the best cleaning. Companies do not use the best components irrespective of machine, and brand. No matter which technique and detergent are used, these do not give the best cleaning.
- The pulsator or drums of semi-automatic are not of the best quality. After all the companies make them keeping in mind the cost of production and their profits. Thus what you are getting at this price is the best.
- Delicate clothes cannot be washed in less watt semi-automatic washing machines. The best thing is either you wash them with your hands or get them dry-cleaned.
- Another important point that is often ignored is that semi-automatic washing machines are not completely shock-proof. You put clothes from one section to another and often the water enters into knobs in this process which creates high chances of shock. Make sure you check the earthing. If there will be proper earthing, then the chances of shock are less.
Note:
- It will be wrong to buy a washing machine without knowing them. First is RPM (Rotation per Minute). The spin speed can never be known without knowing this, therefore it is essential to know RPM. Better the spin speed, the better the machine.
- Second is the power consumption. Not everyone knows there are 2 motors in the semi-automatic machine- a wash motor and a dryer motor. Their power consumption is totally different and therefore should be known.
- Another point that not many people know is that many washing machines are not star-rated. They will be made in India but still will be without any star rating. How can you buy them without knowing their power consumption?
- Will you buy a washing machine which is cheap but is noisy? If not, then how can you buy one without knowing the noise levels? There are 2 kinds of noise levels- 1) while washing and 2) while drying. Make sure you know both before purchasing any washing machine.
