Dhivya Sairam for Asaan

Have you been pondering about getting yourself a brand-new washing machine? Unsure of which brand to purchase, you would have turned to Google for help only to receive overwhelming search results that you might have ended up postponing your purchase. Of course, with a wind range of options to choose from, you could find any task daunting. But if you are very clear with your requirements, you can actually manage to zero in on a thing.

On our part, we would like to assist you in choosing THE ONE that perfectly matches your requirement. By the time you finish reading this article, you would have made your choice. Let's start out by answering a few questions.

Does your neighborhood have a regular water shortage, or do you get water only a few times a week? In that case, you should consider buying yourself a semi-automatic washing machine, where you can fill the amount of water required by yourself. If you answered NO, you should be getting yourself a fully automatic washing machine.

Top-load or front-load?

Always and always pick a top-load machine, and we will explain to you why.

  1. You need not bend every time you load or unload clothes.
  2. You can add in more clothes immediately after you start a new cycle or even in the middle of a cycle.
  3. Comparatively, top-load machines distribute detergent liquid and fabric softener evenly.
  4. Can wash and dry clothes quicker.
  5. Less maintenance. 

TIP - Never over-load your top-load washing machine as it may harm the fabric as well as the machine.

Having looked at the pros of top-loading machines, let us have a look into the top 5 fully automatic top-load washing machines under 17000 in India.

Can you use any detergent powders in a washing machine?

A washing machine and a magic wand are one and the same. With the touch of a button, it cleans your soiled clothes and makes them sparkling clean. Hence investing in a washing machine is worth the money as it makes your life easier. However, there is a little more to it than turning the machine on and choosing the correct program. 

You must never use your hand-washing powder in your machine as it produces more suds and prevents the clothes from getting cleaned properly. Especially in washing machines that consume low water, these suds either stay with the clothes or on the washing machine, thereby clogging its pores. 

Top Load detergent powders suggestions

Always go for detergent powders that are made specifically for washing machine use.

At times after a wash, you might find little clumps of detergent powder on your clothes. The reason being the inability of the detergent powders to get dissolved efficiently in cold water.

Liquid detergents for washing machine suggestions

On the other hand, liquid detergents get mixed evenly with water irrespective of the water temperatures, leaving your clothes clean.
