Tips for choosing a Hotpoint-Ariston washer-dryer

Many consumers appreciate the practicality of combining 2 functions in one unit: washing and drying things. In this case, no additional space is required to install the dryer. Ropes designed for hanging linen do not spoil the look of the bathroom or balcony, and mold does not appear from excess moisture.

Drying is carried out according to the residual moisture until the desired degree of drying is achieved or by time with a timer setting. In the latter case, the laundry may dry out or, conversely, moisture may remain in it.

Drying process:

• helps to smooth clothes, which eliminates the need for additional ironing;
• relieves things from smells absorbed in them;
• does not require hanging laundry in a building or on the street to dry it;
• suitable for a wide variety of fabrics, yarns and leathers.

The advantages of many models with drying include self-regulation of some characteristics during washing, for example, an additional rinse of the laundry is carried out if necessary.

When choosing a washer-dryer, you need to pay attention to whether the unit is capable of performing delicate and gentle drying, whether it crumples the laundry. Do not forget about the presence of additional functions, whether there is a lock from babies, a delayed start, backlighting, a mode for airing things.

The direction of movement of the rotating drum is of no small importance. Drying is carried out very quickly with reverse rotation, but the drum moving only in one direction prolongs the life of the device, since a gentle load on the machine's motor is created.
