Has the time come for a new washing machine?

Washing machines bring you peace of mind by simplifying one of the most taxing household chores – laundry. That’s why when they break down, it is one of the essential home appliances that need to be replaced urgently. In our recent study, over 55% of washing machines in Indian households only last for 3-6 years#. So when these warning signs show, it might be time to replace your washing machine.

Is it time to replace your washing machine?

If you suspect that your washing machine might need replacing, here are some signs to look out for:

1. Your Clothes are not Washed Properly

One of the first indications that there is a problem with your washing machine is a decline in cleaning performance. If your clothes come out soiled or stained, run a cleaning cycle on your machine. If you notice a strange odour or white deposits in the drum after the cleaning cycle, it’s time to call for a technician.

2. Your Washing Machine Makes a lot of Noise

Noisy washing machines are indicative of a problem with the motor or the drum. A misaligned drum may seem easy to fix, but if the problem lies with the motor, and your warranty doesn’t cover it, it may be more cost-efficient to replace your washing machine with a new one.

3. Your Machine Moves When It Shouldn’t

Your machine should remain in place through every spin cycle. If it’s moving or vibrating excessively, that’s a sign something is wrong. It might be a simple misalignment. First, make sure your washing machine is on level ground. If the problem persists, call for a technician to lend their expertise in identifying the issue. A washing machine which vibrates excessively could mean sloshing water, loose connections or mold and mildew growth.

4. Your Machine Leaks

Check all the hoses and connections as they might be the culprit. Another might be overloading your washing machine. But if the leakage persists, then it might be a cracked drum. If that’s the case, then it’s time to get a new machine as the cost of repair will be higher than a new, more efficient washing machine.

Is a new top load washing machine or front load washing machine the one to replace your semi-automatic machine?

A semi-automatic washing machine requires a lot more work on your part. You still need to monitor water levels and go through the hassle of transferring laundry. And after all that inconvenience, it still doesn’t achieve the same perfect clean results as an automatic washing machine. With the touch of a button, Bosch’s automatic washing machines allow you to relax knowing that your clothes are taken care of by award-winning German engineering.

When choosing a fully automatic washing machine, there are two options: front load or top load.

Benefits of a Front Load Washing Machine

1. Front load washing machines allows you to stack a dryer above it, in order to save space in your laundry area. So if you have limited laundry space, a front load machine might be the right choice for you.

2. The tumble wash motion of a front load washing machine causes less friction and is gentler on your clothing.

3. Front load washing machines are the most efficient on the market. They consume less water and less electricity than other washing machines.

4. Front load machines can heat water up to 60°C, giving your clothes a deep hygienic clean.

5. Front load washing machines are designed to be whisper-quiet so you can concentrate on other finer pleasures in life.

Benefits of a Top Load Washing Machine

1. Top load washing machines are easy to load without having to bend down, just put in a load of laundry and press start.

2. For added flexibility, additional or forgotten laundry can be added at any time during the initial wash cycle. Simply open the door and pop in extra laundry.

3. Some top load washing machines have a big capacity for family-sized loads of laundry, suitable for your household if you are going through clothing fast.

4. Most top load washing machines have a hot water inlet available for warm washing of up to 60°C, giving your laundry a hygienic clean.

5. Top load washing machines are fast and convenient, most wash programs can be completed in 1 hour.
