In the past, when young people bought washing machines, they generally chose drum washing machines, but in recent years, drum washing machines have gradually become "lonely".
Why did the rampant drum washing machine "fall off the altar"? What are its advantages and disadvantages? Which is better than the wave wheel?
.01
What are the advantages of front-loading washing machines?
1. Good looks
A large part of the reason for attracting young people to buy drum washing machines comes from its high appearance, small and delicate appearance, and the box is made of metal, which is higher than the plastic material and simple shape of the washing machine, and the sense of luxury is full, and there is a feeling that it looks like a high-end product at a glance.
And thanks to the design of the side flip cover, more matching possibilities can be realized, such as built-in, etc., so it is also favored by young people!
2. Laundry is soft and does not hurt the fabric of the clothes
The cleaning method of the drum washing machine is more gentle, and the washed clothes will not be entangled, nor will they damage the fibers of the clothes, so many expensive fabrics can be cleaned by the drum washing machine, which is particularly convenient.
3. Save water and water
Drum washing machines use horizontal drums to make the clothes repeatedly fall from the top of the bucket, so the water only needs to soak the clothes to complete the beating process.
On the other hand, the washing machine relies on the rotation of the wheel to stir up the vortex, and the water flow agitates the clothes, and the water must soak through the clothes, so the water consumption is also greater.
Therefore, the drum type is more water-saving than the wave wheel type, and the water consumption is generally about half of the wave wheel.
4. Comprehensive functions
Ordinary washing machines only have the functions of cleaning and drying, which is relatively simple.
There are many cleaning modes for front-loading washing machines, such as silk, wool, and down, and you can choose the cleaning mode according to different fabrics.
In addition, some high-end drum washing machines also have functions such as air washing, sterilization and disinfection washing, high-temperature boiling and washing, and drying, which can obviously better meet everyone's various needs for laundry washing.

Why is the drum washing machine suddenly "not red".
This is mainly due to the following reasons:
1. The washing rate is too poor
The purpose of buying a washing machine is to wash the clothes, but the drum washing machine is called water-saving when it is working, but in fact, not enough water during rinsing will cause a lot of washing liquid and aroma to remain on the clothes after dehydration.
In response to this situation, the general seller's statement will say that the washing mode is not selected correctly or the laundry detergent is too much, so the situation is caused, but obviously, many people do not agree with this statement.
Many people think that the reason why the drum washing machine can't wash clean clothes is because there is too little water, so many people feel that the washing rate is not as good as the wave wheel type.
2. Cannot be opened while working
Once the drum washing machine is running, the hatch is sealed, making it almost impossible to add laundry in the middle of the process.
In the process of ordinary washing machine cleaning, the door can be opened at will, even if the clothes with noodles are washed halfway, you can also put the clothes in halfway, anyway, you can open the lid.
Of course, in recent years, there have also been drum washing machines on the market that can add clothes halfway, but the price of this model that supports adding clothes halfway is not cheap, and it starts at 5,000 at every turn. Also, wait for the drum to stop rotating and drain water before opening the door.
3. The operation is too complicated
The drum washing machine has many functions, which we have to admit, but it is also very cumbersome to operate correspondingly. This is fine for young people, but it's a bit of a hassle for older people.
Some elderly people do not know how to operate, do not read, do not understand the manual, and the overly complex functions of the washing machine are redundant for the elderly.
On the other hand, ordinary washing machines are simply fool-like operations, as long as you put in clothes and laundry detergent, click the start button, you can do automatic laundry, it can be said that the operation is very simple and clear.
4. Hiding dirt and dirt
When ordinary washing machines are used, dirt will generally flow out along the drain pipe, and a small amount of lint and dirt may accumulate in the inner cylinder, and the internal structure of the drum washing machine is complex, resulting in a lot of risk of dirt and dirt, I believe that families have such an experience, the washing machine has been used for a long time, the smell is too heavy, and it is found that the dirt inside is 2~3 times more than that of the traditional washing machine when it is disassembled for cleaning.
In addition, the price of drum washing machines is not cheap, generally two or three thousand drum washing machines on the market can only buy low-end models of various brands, and the quality and performance of this model are very average. If you want to buy a model with better quality and more functions, the price is basically more than 5,000 yuan, or even higher. Moreover, if it is damaged, the cost of later repair is also quite a lot.
On the other hand, the price of the washing machine is very close to the people, even if it is a brand product, it is only 1,800 yuan, if you choose a price of more than 2,000, it is basically a high-end model with a bit of technical content.
In short, to get back to the point, whether the drum washing machine is worth buying or not, I believe many people already have the answer in their hearts. It has drawbacks and benefits, everyone thinks for themselves, but for me, spending five or six thousand to buy a washing machine is not cost-effective at all, and it is very suitable to buy an ordinary washing machine, what do you think?
