When buying a new washing machine, one huge factor to consider is the energy-efficiency of the washer. A typically washer gobbles up a lot on electricity when using the hot water cycle or the integrated dryer. Anything that involves producing heat can increase electricity consumption.So, when you are buying, make sure you compare the efficiency of those machines when it comes to consumption of energy. Here are some tips that may prove to be beneficial:
1. Bring with you an Energy Guide yellow sticker. This will guide you on how to make the proper comparison when it comes to the consumed energy of the washer in terms of kilowatts per hour. Also, it will tell you a ballpark figure of how much it costs to operate the machine on an annual basis. This is the most accurate guide to comparing energy-efficient washing machine brands because it is released by no less than the US Department of Energy.
2. Consider saving up for a front load washer. There is a reason why a front loader is the cream of the crop in today's day and age and that is because this is a machine deliberately made to consume less water and energy. Thanks to its H-axis drum and the dispensed need to use an agitator, the clothes tumble instead of spun. As a result, the drum has more space for your clothes and you can use less water and detergent. It is definitely a more economical choice.
