Introduction: In the washing machine market, wave wheels and drum washing machines are the two mainstream products.
Many consumers are confused about how to distinguish between a drum and a drum washing machine.
This article will explain the difference between a drum and a drum washing machine from multiple angles to help you make an informed choice.
1. Design
1. Wave wheel washing machine: with an upward door design, the laundry bucket lid is located at the top, which is convenient for users to put in and take out clothes.
2. Drum washing machine: It adopts the design of side door to save space, and can be embedded to make the home environment more beautiful.
Second, the working principle
1. Wave wheel washing machine: Forward and reverse cross rotation is carried out through the wave wheel at the bottom to produce a strong water flow, so that the clothes are rubbed in the water to achieve decontamination and cleaning.
2. Drum washing machine: The motor is used to drive the internal drum of the washing machine to rotate, and the clothes are stained under the action of detergent and water.
Front-loading washing machines have a higher degree of cleanliness and a lower wear rate on clothes.
3. Cleanliness and abrasion
1. Wave wheel washing machine: high cleanliness, suitable for washing dirty clothes.
However, the wear rate is also relatively high, and the damage to the clothing fibers is greater.
2. Drum washing machine: uniform cleanliness, low wear rate, suitable for washing clothes that are not too dirty.
For high-end clothes such as wool and silk, it is recommended to choose a front-loading washing machine.
Fourth, functional differences
1. Washing machine: usually has the functions of washing, dehydration, disinfection and sterilization.
2. Drum washing machine: In addition to washing and dehydration, it also has the functions of disinfection and sterilization, drying, and water temperature heating.
Some front-loading washing machines also have a steam ironing function, so that clothes can be worn directly after washing.
Fifth, energy-saving performance
1. Wave wheel washing machine: the power is low, generally about 250 watts, which is relatively energy-saving.
2. Drum washing machine: the power is larger, generally around 1200-2500 watts.
Although it has a higher power, it has a high degree of cleanliness, which can reduce the number of washes and does not necessarily consume electricity in the long run.
6. Price
1. Wave wheel washing machine: the price is relatively low, generally 1000-3000 yuan.
2. Drum washing machine: the price is relatively high, generally 2000-4000 yuan.
Summary:
Washing machines and front-loading washing machines have their own advantages, and consumers should choose according to their needs and budget when purchasing.
If you're more concerned about cleanliness, versatility and design, a front-loading washing machine is recommended, while a drum washing machine is a good choice if you're more concerned about price, energy-saving performance and simple and practical features.
