Is the double washing machine easy to use? I bought one for 10000 yuan. I have used it several times and am considering returning it.

If you buy a washing machine, you will find that there are more than two traditional types of washing machines on the market: pulsator and drum. Some are portable folding, some are wall-mounted, some are double-barrel, some are washing and drying, and some are double-deck duplex, which is difficult to choose.

In recent years, double-deck washing machines are very popular, and many families will choose to buy double-deck washing machines. The reason is as advertised by the merchants. Compared with other types of washing machines, double-deck washing machines are more in line with modern people's home needs. Buy one that can support three sets (washing machine, dryer, mother-infant washing machine), and at the same time meet our needs of "partition washing and protection", "washing and drying integration" and "automatic washing" of clothes.

But is the double-deck washing machine really easy to use? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Is it worth buying? I bought one at home for 10000, used it several times, and now I'm going to return it. I can tell you my feelings and reasons:

Double-deck washing machine, also known as duplex washing machine and mother-child washing machine, looks like two washing machines combined together, which is higher and bigger than ordinary washing machines.

There are two kinds of double-deck washing machines on the market: the first is that the upper and lower floors are all drums, with small capacity and large capacity; The second type is pulsator+roller. Some are upper impeller and lower roller, and some are upper roller and lower impeller. The impeller has small capacity and the drum has large capacity.

In addition, the double-deck washing machine will also have a drying function (washing and drying in one), but only one washing machine does. Double drum is the lower drum to be dried, and the upper drum is not; And pulsator+drum, drum is dry, pulsator is not.

The advantages of double-deck washing machine, as mentioned above, can meet the needs of washing, washing and drying in our home at the same time.

With the improvement of people's quality of life, in order to protect their health, many people begin to pay attention to "partition washing" to avoid our close-fitting clothes, socks or baby clothes from mixing with daily clothes. The core selling point of double-deck washing machine is to wash and protect clothes in different areas to prevent cross-contamination. Small-capacity washing machines are specially used to wash close-fitting clothes or baby clothes and small clothes, while large-capacity washing machines are used to wash daily clothes and large clothes.

In addition, the double-deck washing machine with drying function also meets the needs of most families to "dry clothes". In other words, as long as you buy a double-deck washing machine, you can "get it in one step" and use it three times. You don't have to spend time buying and installing washing machines, dryers and maternal and child washing machines. Moreover, the double-deck washing machine itself is more beautiful, and the integrated design saves space.

First, it is expensive.

The price of double-deck washing machines in the market is generally around 8000 ~ 1 10,000 yuan (pulsator+drum), and some models even cost 1 10,000 ~ 20,000 yuan (double drum). Double-decker washing machines with different prices often differ in capacity and drying function, such as 3Kg+8Kg and 5 kg+650.

Compared with the traditional washing machine+dryer group, or washing and drying machine, the double-layer washing machine has no other outstanding advantages. The double-deck washing machine has some functions that other washing machines have, but it is more expensive to sell and the cost performance is not high.

Second, the difference of balance force

The biggest disadvantage of double-deck washing machine is the poor balance force. This is because the double-deck washing machine has a complicated structure, many internal parts, two motors and two washing barrels. When the upper and lower washing machines are running at the same time, such as washing and dewatering at the same time, the centrifugal force generated by the washing machine is very large, the rotating direction, speed and other factors are out of sync, stretching and confronting each other, and the inside of the washing machine is easy to break and disintegrate.

Double-deck washing machines are prone to failures and malfunctions. It is for this reason that once a fault occurs, the maintenance cost is still very high.

Third, the capacity is small

The capacity of double-deck washing machine is small, which is manifested in two aspects: the first aspect is the small washing capacity. For example, the pulsator drum double-deck washing machine has a small capacity, often only 1~3Kg, and the number of clothes that can be washed is very small. Another example is the double drum washing machine (5Kg+8Kg). The upper drum has a large capacity, which can wash close-fitting clothes, but the lower drum has a capacity of only 8Kg, which is small for washing large clothes.

The second aspect is the small drying capacity, which is the disadvantage of the double-layer washing machine with drying function, just like the disadvantage of the washing and drying machine. We know that the washing capacity and drying capacity of the washing and drying machine are different, and the drying capacity is often only 70% of the washing capacity. In other words, we bought a double-deck washing machine with drying function. Assuming that the washing capacity is only 8Kg, the drying capacity is only about 5Kg. If there are too many clothes, the clothes cannot be completely dried.

Fourth, the drying effect is poor, and it is impossible to treat fluff.

The poor drying effect and the inability to deal with fluff are also the shortcomings of the double-layer washing machine with drying function. Like the ordinary washing and drying machine, it is caused by the limitations of its structure and working principle.

The double-deck washing machine with drying function adopts condensation drying technology. Due to structural limitations, this washing machine cannot use a better drying device (heat pump drying). Condensation drying, just like drying clothes with a hair dryer, has wrinkles, uneven drying effect, high power consumption and high drying temperature, which is harmful to clothes.

In a double-deck washing machine with drying function, one of the washing barrels is responsible for both drying and washing. During the washing and drying process, clothes fluff will enter the drying tunnel or accumulate in the washing tub, which will not only affect the drying effect, but also cause secondary pollution of clothes (the fluff is covered with bacteria). In severe cases, these fluff enter the washing machine, which will lead to the failure of the washing machine.

The high-end dryer with heat pump drying mode and fluff collection box is superior to the double-layer washing machine with drying function in both drying effect and fluff treatment capacity.

Fifth, the district nursing is not rigorous

Many people buy double-deck washing machines because they take a fancy to the selling point of "partition washing and care", but in my experience, the selling point of double-deck washing machines is actually more of a "gimmick":

First of all, the reason to wash and care in different regions is nothing more than to avoid mixed washing of clothes, because mixed washing of clothes is unhealthy and unsanitary. But now ordinary washing machines have the function of disinfection and sterilization, and can also be boiled and washed at high temperature, with a sterilization rate as high as 99.99%, and can also effectively sterilize personal clothes and baby clothes.

Secondly, the secondary pollution of clothes is often due to our neglect of the internal cleaning of washing machines, which is not directly related to the mixed washing of clothes. Bacteria accumulate in cracks inside the washing tub and multiply in a humid environment. Whether we mix or wash clothes separately, clothes are not clean.

What's more, when the double-deck washing machine is used, it is contrary to the "independent washing and care". For example, the roller is used to wash the close-fitting clothes and socks, and then used to wash the baby's clothes. Although it is washed several times separately, it is all washed in the same drum, and bacteria accumulate in the washing machine, which is also a kind of "disguised" mixed washing.

If you really want to do "independent" nursing, then underwear, socks and baby clothes can only be washed by one, and none can be mixed.

Finally, a double-deck washing machine with drying function has only one drum with drying function. In other words, when we wash underwear and baby clothes and need to dry them, we have to put them in a vat to dry.

As mentioned above, the washing machine itself is easy to breed bacteria, and clothes fluff will accumulate in the washing and drying drum, which also contains a lot of bacteria, which will eventually lead to secondary pollution of close-fitting clothes and baby clothes. So, what is the purpose of buying a double-deck washing machine? Probably just to wash personal clothes and daily clothes separately at the same time.
