At Adelaide Appliance Gallery, we care about helping you make the right choice that fits your laundry culture, lifestyle, and budget.

The choice of the right washing machine is not a matter of settling on the modelthat fits in space, but some critical factors must be considered:

• Family Size/Capacity: How big is your family? Do you do lots of laundry every day? If you have a large family, you will most likely need a machine with a bigger drum size, while singles and couples can settle for the more compact models.
• Energy Efficiency: The more energy-efficient a model is, the lesser the cost of a utility bill. Look for one that has a better rating for energy consumption.
• Features: Some washer designs will have additional features, such as steam cleaning or wireless connectivity. Determine what you would actually need for your load of laundry.

In reality, the capacity of your washing machine depends on how many people are in your household and your laundry habits. Different kinds of washing machines vary in their capacity, and they are usually weighed in kilograms. Generally, this is what you need for different numbers of people:

• Small Families: For 1-2 family members, a 5-7 kg washing machine would be enough, as most small families do laundry once or twice every week.
• Medium-Sized House: A 3-4 member family should buy a 7-9 kg machine as the family completes several loads in a week.
• Large Family: Families consisting of five or more members may require more volume loads; hence, the washing machine must be capable of 9 kg above capacity. It will save time and energy in the long run.

A Wi-Fi and app-enabled Smart Washing Machine has brought convenience to laundry experiences never thought possible before. It can also receive notifications for the end of a wash cycle and upload wash programs specifically tailored for certain types of fabric.

Some even monitor energy consumption and self-adjust themselves to use as little water and power as possible. Such models are aptly suited to a high-tech homeowner who wants something innovative and efficient in his home.

The energy rating of a washing machine tells you the appliance’s potential energy efficiency. Sometimes, it is rated in the form of stars, and it means that the more stars, the better. Better-rated appliances consume much less water and electricity, thus benefiting the environment and your utility bills.

You should look for appliances with at least a 4—to 5-star rating for a washing machine. This will help you make an energy-efficient choice. Even more, some front-load washing machines with good energy ratings incorporate sophisticated models designed for eco-modes, further reducing energy consumption.

Modern washing machines have been redesigned with lots of other features which make things better than before. For example:

• Steam Cleaning: Removes the toughest stain and even disinfects the fabric through chemicals.
• Wi-Fi Connectivity: Control and monitoring through smartphone apps.
• Auto-Dosing: Automatic release of the precise amount of detergent
  pertinent to the weight and type of load.
• Anti-Allergen Cycles: Among the special wash cycles, a few eliminate allergens, including dust mites and pet dander.
• Eco Modes: Types that consume less water and energy to make your washing machine more “eco-friendly.”

Proper care of your washing machine will ensure that it lasts for many years to come. Here are some basic guidelines:

• Inspect Hoses: Inspect the water hoses for signs of leakage or cracks. Replace them whenever they reveal any wear.
• Do Not Overload: Do not overload the machine because it will strain its motor and the efficiency of washing. Use the recommended load size.
• Use the Right Detergent: You must select the suitable detergent for your washer, whether top-load or front-load. The manufacturer even specifies the quantity in the packaging.
• Run the Cleaning Cycle With an Empty Drum: This gathers all the detergent and dirt and cleanses it from the drum.

One way to ensure that your washing machine is always in a well-maintained state and free from odour is to clean it. Here is how to clean it effectively:

• Run the Cleaning Cycle: Most newer models have this facility, but it is hardly used. We also recommend using our Power Of 4 descaler on a 60 degree program to descale and deodorise the machine. You can also run our Dishwasher Powder in your machine to help remove grease and grime.
• Clean the Detergent Drawer: Remove and wash the detergent drawer to get rid of detergent residue.
• Clean the Drum and Door Seals: Clean the inside of the drum and door seals after each use to prevent the buildup of mildew or musty odours.
• Clean the Filter: To keep the machine working efficiently, clean the
  filter inside every month or as often as necessary.

It is recommended that you wash your washing machine once every one to three months. This may be a derivative of the actual times you have washed your washing machine in a month. You find that when you realise the laundry doesn’t smell fresh or is no longer as fresh as it should be, it is time to wash the washing machine. Monthly cleaning is recommended.

Regular cleaning eliminates detergent buildup, which will cause bad smells and a less effective washing machine. We recommend using temperature programs as much as possible alongside using purpose built products like Power of 4. The power of 4 Laundry powder on a 60 degree cycle will not only kill bacteria but also clean the inside of your machine clean too.

We recommend using our Power Of 4 descaler on a 60 degree program to help descale and deodorise your machine, as well as running our dishwashing powder in the washing machine can help remove any grease and grime build up.
