Capacity
The maximum capacity is the maximum amount of laundry in kilograms that can be loaded into the machine for a wash cycle.
Water consumption per cycle
This indicator is important primarily for those who have personal water metres installed at home. The
less water consumed per cycle, the less you will have to pay for water consumption.
Dryer
A special washing machine mode designed to
dry clothes after washing. The drying process involves an internal heating element which produces heat, and a fan that converts it into warm air. This warm air is then circulated around the fabric to dry it. It is important to note that different types of fabrics have their own specific levels of dryness.
Drying capacity
The maximum amount of laundry that can be loaded into the washing machine for drying mode.
For more information about this mode, see "Dryer". The maximum load capacity is usually 1.5 to 2 times lower than for washing because of the differences in the process. It is important to note that the weight of the dry laundry is what is specified in the characteristics. Drying a full load of laundry at once may not be possible and may require drying in two stages. However, drying so many things at once is not frequently necessary and typically only a portion of the laundry needs to be dried in this manner.
Energy class
Specs of energy efficiency. A, B, C - very economical to economical; D - intermediate value; E, F, G - from high to very high power consumption.
Country of origin
This parameter indicates the country where the washing machine model was manufactured, as stated by the manufacturer. Although most production facilities are located in China, there are still European factories producing household appliances, so certain models may be manufactured there. Generally, the country of manufacture, whether it's China or Europe, shouldn't significantly impact the quality of the product. However, there is a stereotype that European assembly is more reliable. It's also important to note that a washing machine model may have a country of manufacture listed, such as Poland, but it may still be labeled under the same product code as the Chinese-made version in stores.
