Choosing a complex household appliance is not an easy task, because you buy a device that ideally should last you for many years. The washing machine becomes an indispensable helper in the house, which performs quite a painful job - washing, squeezing, and sometimes drying clothes. Thanks to this useful device, modern women have more time for other things.
To get the maximum benefit from the purchased home appliances, before buying, you need to study the market, compare the advantages and disadvantages of all available models and only then, having weighed all the pros and cons, make a decision. When choosing a washing machine, you need to consider a variety of different factors, including the class of spinning. About what it is and which class is preferable, we will tell in this article.
What's this?
The spinning class is one of the key categories by which modern models of washing machines are evaluated: the higher the class, the faster the drum rotates during the spin process, and the less wet the result is the laundry.
The squeeze class is assigned to the washing machine after certain calculations are made when testing the unit. The laundry is weighed before and after washing, and dividing the second result by the first one, we obtain the coefficient by which it is determined to which class of spinning the given model belongs.
Types of
There are 7 classes of spinning machines: from the highest - A to the lowest - G.
The efficiency index of the spin class is calculated by dividing the weight of water in the laundry after pressing to the weight of the laundry in dry form. To calculate the weight of water in the laundry after wringing, subtract from the weight of the laundry after pressing the weight of the laundry in dry form.
You can compare the efficiency indices of the pressing class in the following table. Here are brief characteristics of each of the classes.
| Class | Humidity of laundry after washing | Extraction speed |
| A | Less than 45% | 1600 rpm |
| B | 45 to 54% | 1400 rpm |
| C | 54 to 63% | 1200 rpm |
| D | 63 to 72% | 1000 rpm |
| E | 72 to 81% | 800 rpm |
| F | 81 to 90% | 600 rpm |
| G | Over 90% | 400 rpm |
A good reading is the humidity of 60%, which corresponds to classes A, B and C.
Class Influence on Power Consumption
The squeezing class is definitely an important parameter, however, when choosing a washing machine, it is necessary to take into account its other characteristics. One of the most significant is the energy consumption class. From this indicator depends, how much electricity will be spent on ensuring the operation of the device. The highest class - A - means that the machine consumes the minimum amount of energy. Moreover, this class has subclasses - A + and A ++.
The spin class and energy class are two interdependent categories. Obviously, the more turns a washing machine does, the more electricity it spends. Thus, the units that excellently press the laundry will not be the most economical in terms of costs for paying bills for electricity.
The most optimal option is recognized by washing machines with a class of squeezing B. They provide very good spinning quality, while not consuming too much electricity. On the other hand, we use a washing machine not so much, so the energy consumption is usually not paid much attention.
The cost of a wash is also influenced by water consumption. So, Candy GO4W 6423D-07 consumes 110 liters of water per cycle, and Siemens WS 12K26 S - only 46 liters. And both machines are designed for a capacity of 6 kg of laundry. With equal power, the second model consumes less water and, accordingly, is more efficient in this indicator.
Tips for choosing
- For those who prefer to dry linen in the fresh air( for example, on the loggia or in the yard of the house) and is not going to retreat from their habits, you can recommend not to overpay for unnecessary characteristics and purchase a washing machine with a low spin class.
- Poorly wrung out items after washing significantly "add to weight", so owners of washing machines with a low spin class have to make considerable efforts to pull out wet laundry from the drum. If physical activity is contraindicated to you, it is better to take care of your health, and get a model with a higher spin class.
- In addition to the spinning class, it is also necessary to consider the washing class - how well the machine is washing the things. Quite often, these characteristics do not coincide, and in the end you will have to be content with well-squeezed, but absolutely untwisted things.
