Why do more and more people dislike "drum washing machines"? People who have come over admit that these shortcomings are obvious
I don't know when a kind of home appliance called "drum washing machine" began to slowly enter people's eyes and became the darling of the home appliance market in just a few years. Its appearance was once considered a leap forward in washing machine technology, bringing people an unprecedented laundry experience. However, more and more people are starting to dislike it, why is that? People who have come over admit that these shortcomings are really obvious.
1. Electricity and water consumption
Many people who have used a front-loading washing machine have experienced that the power and water consumption of washing machines is often far greater than people think. A slightly more powerful drum washing machine can consume several kilowatt-hours of electricity just by starting it once, which is obviously not good news in the context of increasing energy constraints.
And for many households, washing times that can take up to an hour or more can mean high water bills. Many people who have been using a front-loading washing machine for a while often choose to give up because they can't afford such an overhead.
Second, the noise is high
Noise is also a major pain point for front-loading washing machines. Due to the washing principle of the drum washing machine, it will produce a lot of noise when working. For many people who live in apartments or old neighborhoods, this noise is undoubtedly a torture. Especially in the dead of night, the sound of the drum washing machine often breaks the tranquility and affects the rest of the family.
3. Serious wear and tear of clothing
In addition to the cost of electricity, water and noise, the front-loading washing machine also has a headache, that is, serious wear and tear on the clothes. Due to the washing method of the drum washing machine, the clothes will be subjected to greater friction during the washing process, resulting in severe wear and tear of the clothes. Especially for some delicate clothes, such as silk, wool, etc., the drum washing machine has almost become their "killer".
Fourth, the operation is complicated
Many people report that the operation of the drum washing machine is too complicated and a headache. Compared with traditional drum washing machines, the operation interface of drum washing machines is often more complex, requiring people to spend more time and energy to learn and adapt. For some elderly people who are not very good at using home appliances, the front-loading washing machine is simply a torture.
Fifth, the maintenance cost is high
Finally, the repair cost of the drum washing machine is also an important reason why people dislike it. Due to the complex structure of the drum washing machine, once it fails, it often costs a lot to repair. For some families with poor economic conditions, this is undoubtedly a lot of expense.
To sum up, although the drum washing machine does have incomparable advantages in some aspects, its disadvantages are also obvious. For many people, these disadvantages are enough to make them abandon the use of a front-loading washing machine in favor of a more traditional and practical washing machine.
Of course, this does not mean that there is no market for drum washing machines, and for those who pursue a high quality of life and have high requirements for the performance of home appliances, drum washing machines are still a good choice. But for most people, choosing a washing machine that suits the actual situation of their family is the most important thing.
Here, it is also hoped that manufacturers can continue to improve the design and production process of drum washing machines, strive to overcome their shortcomings, and bring more high-quality and convenient laundry experience to consumers.
At the same time, when consumers buy washing machines, they should also make rational choices according to their own needs and actual conditions. After all, what's right for you is the best.
