Washers: Semi-automatic or Fully Automatic?
There are basically two types of washing machines for domestic purposes. The automatic and semi-automatic washing machines. Many people who still don’t have a washing machine are faced with the dilemma of which to choose between these two. To help you come to a decision, here are the advantages and disadvantages of each.
Semiautomatic washing machines
The semiautomatic washing machines are the first versions and are lightweight and can be easily moved. Usually, they are loaded in the upper part which means that the laundry is placed inside the washing machine through a hole in its upper part. Some people consider this convenient because you can add more clothes anytime you want. All you need to do is open the lid, then, for safety, the machine will stop turning so you can put in more clothes. The problem with these models is that they still need to drain and transfer the clothes to the centrifuge. If you are washing heavy clothes, your arms will tire easily. Many people continue to buy semiautomatic washing machines because they are cheaper and do not spend so much water.
Automatic washing machines
Fully automatic washing machines are more advanced compared to semi-automatic washing machines. These need to be connected to a stable water supply. They have different washing options, depending on the type of clothes to be washed-softer revolutions for lighter clothing and more aggressive revolutions for sturdy clothing such as sheets and jeans. They have touch buttons for easy operation. Save some of your energy because all you need to do is put on the clothes and this machine will do the whole washing and drying process. However, you can not interrupt the cycles and put more clothes in case you have forgotten to do so. They also cost much more than semi-automatic washing machines. Since they are connected to a water supply, you can not simply move them whenever you want.
If you want to have almost everything done, then choose a fully automatic model but if you do not mind putting a little extra effort, then semi-automatic machines will work great for you. There are many brands of washing machines available for you to choose from. Prices will vary depending on the popularity of the brand and its load capacity.
