Principle of operation

So, such a washing and drying machine differs from most kinds that do not have the last function, includes an additional tubular electric heater( TEN), which helps to warm air, thereby gently cleaning the fabric. As a rule, it is located below, between the tank and the drum itself.

The principle of washing does not differ from other processes of its analogues, the novelty at the end of the procedure is made only by the electric drying. The principle of drying is as follows:

• Hot air produced by TEN penetrates through the tissues, thereby gently evaporating all the water on the fibers of the fabric.
• The drum of the washing machine at this time chaotically and slowly rotates so that things fall differently. This helps to completely dry the clothes put in it.

Functional of washing machines with drying

The offered view of the CM has many different modes - as in normal washing with spinning, and in drying directly. In this section, we will look at all the useful functions of the procedure.

Two basic functions of drying

Now the drying mode of the fabric is a pleasant addition to the wash itself, the importance of which still remains the key. As mentioned, the modes of washing itself on all types of similar technology are similar, so do not stop at them. So we will better understand the basic functions of drying:

• This mode has a timer, during which the drying of things. The user himself chooses the time at which the last procedure will take place. But here he needs to be careful. Thus, clothes can not be dried and remain moist, or, worse still, dry out too much and at all deteriorate. Now this issue is being solved and "smart" washing machines with drying appear on the market, which determine the moisture content of clothes and decide when it will dry up. This function already has a system Fuzzy Logic.
• Presence of several drying levels. Here the manufacturer chose the time and temperature of the air. We recommend you better buy the equipment of such models. Here are examples of names and actions of such modes:
  • "In the closet" - it dries out things well, but does not care about fabric folds, which is an undoubted disadvantage.
  • In the mode "Under the iron" things remain a little wet, until the end they dry the ironing device will help.
  • "Super-drying" or "Very dry" - most often overdrying clothes.
  • The "Hanger" mode treats things with care, without spoiling them.

Electricity consumption

Washing machine with dryer and its "counterparts" have one big common drawback. It is that the device can not often dry up half of the things it has washed. For example, if the hostess started a general laundry and put 8 kg of dirty laundry in the drum, the weight of the dried will be from 1 to 4 kg of all clothes. In the end - things have to hang on the rope, as in the good old days. Conclusion - we essentially pay for the work of drying, which does not fulfill its purpose. Such machines are not very economical.

Important! Manufacturers of narrow washing machines with drying try to make their equipment more economical, but they have little to go on, because such a procedure is not easy. Nevertheless, some manufacturers managed to make the drying quality better, at least to justify their price a little. For example, in a dive into a seven kilogram drum of some models, about 5 kg of washed clothes can dry out.

All washing machines differ in three classes of energy consumption, the names of these classes:

• A;
• B;
• C;
• D.

Important! The lowest level of electricity consumption in the A-class. To him carry and the machine with drying clothes. The other machines consume much more electricity.

Reliability of

Many believe that such a technique is unreliable and can easily be damaged in a couple of months of operation. Maybe this is logical, because this machine is much more complicated than its "colleagues".Also worth noting that the car operating rules are much more, which is followed by numerous breakdowns due to their non-compliance.

But no: for machines with drying and without it, the warranty period is the same and the reliability of the new equipment purchased can not be doubted.

Important! If you still have doubts, you can ask your questions to the repairman of washing equipment, his answer should satisfy the further user. He is available to explain to him about possible breakdowns and will talk in detail about the operation rules to avoid making mistakes in the future.

Is the machine worth its money?

Many can not decide, judging whether a washing-drying machine costs such money, whether it justifies its quality. And can still buy a classic styalku and dry clothes in the old-fashioned way?

Attention! If you have enough money, we recommend buying a separate device for drying washed clothes. So you will save energy a little and the quality of drying will be higher than that of universal CM.

So, what features can be distinguished with respect to this technique:

• A quality washing machine with the function of drying is much harder to find. And it is not cheaper than a traditional typewriter.
• But the device does not take much space, if you compare the area.
• Also, it can be said that a universal washing machine saves more time, reducing the time of evaporation of water from the fibers of the material to be washed.

Important! Recall that it is necessary to take into account the manufacturer of equipment. In any case, do not recommend buying the device from dubious and little-known brands. And quality proven models are already in demand and earn positive feedback from buyers. In addition, such manufacturers have a lot of advantages, for example:

• , their warranty period is usually longer than that of little-known brands;
• equipment differs from its proprietary functions.
