Washing machines Smeg

A washing machine is an essential element of every home. The Italian company Smeg has been producing household appliances for the home for many years. In the article, we will consider the features of Smeg washing machines, the range and some useful tips for choosing.

Smeg washing machines are considered premium appliances. Exclusive design of models, high quality and long service life fully justify the high cost of products. The company was founded at the end of the 19th century and was a small factory for the manufacture of metal products. Later, production migrated to a large-scale plant, but it was during this period that the company was affected by the economic and energy crisis, from which it was not so easy to get out. In order not to lose everything, the management decided to retrain, and under the Smeg logo, at the beginning, well-aimed, and then large household appliances began to appear.

So, one of the first washing machines of the brand won a large number of awards, certificates and served as a prototype for modern appliances for cleaning linen. Unfortunately, it was hard for the company to compete with larger holdings, whose production of equipment was put on stream. Smeg stayed afloat, but it was not possible to get out of the crisis. It was then that the son of one of the brand owners decided to take a new approach to the production of home appliances. He decided to move the company's products to a narrower market segment, where there is no place for standard products. In subsequent years, the brand invites popular European designers and architects for cooperation. As a result of innovations, the plant begins to produce elite household appliances with an exclusive appearance.

Among the Smeg washing machines you can find both home appliances and units used for professional purposes. They are designed for premium homes and laundries, as they are not cheap. The bright and unusual design of individual models is a real highlight of the brand. The brand provides a variety of products, the assortment includes both stand-alone devices and freestanding ones. In addition to the appearance of the units, it is necessary to note the high quality of parts and workmanship. The brand carefully monitors the production of products at every stage, from the design of the layout to the process of packaging and delivery.

Each model has a wide range of washing programs designed for gentle cleaning of all things. A very convenient function that allows you to independently set the water temperature if the standard one is not suitable. The main mode is intended for washing clothes made of natural cotton or linen. Synthetic items are washed when the water is heated up to + 30– + 40 degrees. For woolen products, there is a separate mode, during which the drum rotates along a special trajectory and gently affects the fabric. Washing at a low temperature allows you to preserve not only the quality of the fabric, but also the size of the laundry. The presence of a delicate wash mode greatly facilitates the care of such things; a program that imitates a hand wash is especially popular.

The Smeg company, like many other brands with a worldwide reputation, tries to do the least harm to the environment. That is why a special Eco regime was created.It lasts slightly longer than standard, but uses less water and energy, thus producing resource savings. If desired, you can regulate not only water heating, but also reduce the operating time of the device. Modes such as "quick wash" or "half load" allow you to freshen up your laundry within 15-20 minutes.

A great addition for many housewives will be drying mode that will save time and space in the apartment. The steaming function processes the laundry with steam, which subsequently greatly facilitates the ironing process. The control panel of Smeg washing machines is very convenient, it can be mechanical with a traditional round knob or touchscreen with an LED display on more modern models.

When buying a washing machine, it is recommended to pay attention to several points.

First of all, you need to understand what size the unit will be. To do this, measure the designated place for him with a tape measure. Do not forget to check the width of the doorway so that after purchase there are no problems with the placement of the machine. The best option would be the standard width 60 cm, but if there is very little space, you can take a narrow model that is present in the lineup of each brand.

The second important parameter that influences the choice of the device is the amount of drum loading. This item should be selected based on the number of people living in the family. A machine with a drum volume of 5 kg will be enough for 2-3 people. For a larger family, it is recommended to choose models designed for 8 kg of linen. For parents with many children, the best option would be a washing machine with a drum volume of 9 kg or more, since you will have to wash a lot. However, it should be remembered that the more spacious the unit, the more space it will take up.

As a rule, each model has standard functions, but there are products with additional properties that can be very useful. Try to pick exactly what you need so that you don't have to overpay. First of all take care of the presence of protection against leaks. It will prevent water leakage if the wiring is damaged. Additional modes will help you save money on dry cleaning. For example, a washing cycle for fitness clothes or baby clothes. The quick wash function for 15 minutes will also be useful.

There are models equipped with a silent wash function, which allows you to turn on the appliance even at night. This is due to the presence of an inventory motor or direct drive. The drying function saves a lot of time and space. At the end of the wash, the machine will dry the laundry by itself and you do not have to hang it up. Such products are usually supplemented with an ironing function, where after the whole process the clothes are treated with hot steam and become less wrinkled. Modern washing machines are equipped with a “steam wash” designed to care for silk, down and wool. This mode is perfect for cleaning baby clothes, as it completely removes and dissolves the detergent without leaving any allergens on the surface of the fabric.

This is another important point that will help you save energy and, accordingly, your money. Washing machines, especially those with an additional drying mode, consume a lot of electricity, which is later reflected in the bills.
