Washing Machine Buying Guide

Washing machines are quickly becoming an essential home utility. Gone are the days when you dropped your dirty clothes off at the local “dhobi”. With appliances becoming more affordable and easily available online, a large number of Indians are making the switch.
However, the jargon associated with washers and dryers can quickly confuse new buyers. Due diligence is suggested before making a purchase. Keeping that in mind, here’s a quick buying guide for new buyers:
Depending on the budget and requirement considerations, there are certain crucial decisions every new buyer has to make. Firstly, you need to choose between a fully-automatic or semi-automatic washing machine.
* Fully-Automatic: On the negative side, fully automatic washers are more expensive, require a continuous supply of water and require more power. On the positive side, they need no manual work, you just need to turn on the tap, dump you clothes and press the “On” button. You can leave the machine unmonitored and go finish other chores during this time, the machine will sound an alarm when it’s done (make sure to wash our whites separately). They can take care of both washing and drying. In India a fully-automatic washing machine comes in the price range of Rs.12000 to Rs.25000.
*Semi-Automatic: Semi-automatic washing machines are considered entry level and are perfect for young-professionals not looking to spend a fortune. There is some manual work involved as you have to manually pour water and switch the clothes from the washing to the drying tub. They are much more cost-effective and you can buy one for just below Rs. 10000.
Thoughts: Apart from budget considerations, it is important to note that fully-automatic washing machines outperform their counterparts when it comes to wash-quality and cleanliness. They are also more flexible and can be used to wash different materials like silk, linen, delicate cotton etc. Semi-automatic washing machines on the other hand require less power and wash clothes marginally quicker.
Should you choose to go with a fully-automatic machine, you need decide between a front or top loading washing machine:
*Front Loading Washing Machine: Front loading washing machines are what you see in US Laundromats, they are certainly the most expensive and the most powerful washers you can buy. They are also impressive in terms of their wash quality, energy efficiency and water usage. They are best suited for regular use and longer wash cycles. In India, they can be bought at around Rs.25000 to Rs.75000.
*Top Loading Washing Machine: Top loading washing machines are more common in India. They are comparatively cheaper and can get the job done fairly well for a small 5-member family. They are also smaller and more portable which make them Indian-user friendly.

Different types of water purifiers – which one is suitable for your water? Is your water surface water (from rivers and lakes) which has been supplied by the municipality or is it groundwater (from borewells, supplied by tankers)? If it is surface water, supplied by the municipal corporation, chances are that the TDS (dissolved impurities) are low and you need to only protect yourself from microbiological impurities like bacteria and viruses.However, if your water is groundwater supplied by tankers, there may be a higher level of dissolved impurities, altering the taste of the water, and at higher levels may affect your long term health.

Why buy an Inverter AC?

Why buy an Inverter AC? Inverter air conditioners are more powerful and more energy efficient. They offer around 50% more energy savings and are more efficient at maintaining temperature as compared to a non-inverter model. The Inverter is a device in the air conditioner that controls frequency of power supplied to the compressor motor. In Inverter air conditioners, on achieving the desired temperature the compressor speed slows and the refrigerant rate drops, and the air conditioner works at a lower capacity. As a result, lower average power is consumed offering energy and electricity savings. In contrast, non-inverter air conditioners have a fixed speed compressor that cannot increase or decrease their speed and refrigerant flow rate as per the cooling requirements of the room. The compressor stops on reaching the desired temperature and when the temperature rises again the compressor & refrigerant flow restart. This stop/start cycle continues in a non-inverter air conditio...
