Among home appliances in the Indian marketplace, washing machines are catching up to take first place among required essentials. Homemakers from urban areas to Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities in India have placed orders for washing machines in the last year, and more so due to the pandemic. The average Indian household is so dependent on house help for undertaking basic but daily chores, such as washing and drying clothes, most households during the lockdown, and even after it was lifted, saw the need for an appliance to wash clothes.
The washing machine has never been used more than it is in present-day India, with washing machine sales increasing with each festive season. Previously, owning a washing machine, like the air conditioner, was considered a luxury. Now every Indian household wants one, as it reduces dependence on house help and washes garments effectively and quickly.
Washing Machine Pros in 2021
The growth of the washing machine industry has practically wiped out the detergent bar industry in India. Anyone who’s washed their clothes by hand will heave a sigh of relief due to the washing machines we have in the Indian market presently. Selecting the best washing machine for your family can be a tedious task. You get two basic types, namely the front load washing machine and the top load variant.
The advantage of a top load washing machine is that you don’t have to bend much. In a front-load machine, seniors and people with muscle ailments may find it a challenge to load clothes. Besides this, modern washing machines, whether you pick a top load or front load washing machine, come with digital displays and features like timers to set wash cycles while you are away from home, or asleep, as and when you need clothes cleaned.
Features in smart washing machines in 2021 include the removal of allergens from clothes, energy-efficient aspects, and ways to save water, by recycling it in the machine itself. Some new machines from brands like Samsung enable you to add clothes to the washing cycle while it’s on or allow you to add extra detergent during the cycle.
