Washing machines with two drums: 3 best models from LG and Haier

Washing machines with two drums appeared in 2015. The first double-drum washers were produced by Korean manufacturers – LG и Samsung. In pursuit of them, he created his own version and a Chinese brand Haier. We will find out why double SMAs are interesting and what models the market offers today.

Features of double drum washing machines

Advantages:

  • Save time. You can wash completely different things at the same time. Technique strives for unification, and the fabrics, as they were different, remain. Silk, wool, cotton – everything must be washed separately. You can’t wash sportswear with the nursery, and you can’t wash underwear with blankets. A double-tank washing machine simplifies the solution of the problem – thanks to the double drum, you can wash completely different things at the same time and in different modes.
  • Saving resources. One tank is significantly smaller than the other – this is especially true of LG’s CMA. If you need to wash a few things that are incompatible with the bulk of the laundry, you can do it in a small tank. There will be no need to restart a large unit. Saves both water and electricity.
  • Big download. The total load is from 12 to 20 kg. This amount is enough to wash the largest family. Moreover, such machines can be used in enterprises and mini-laundries.

Disadvantages:

  • Big sizes. Such hulks are not for tight spaces.
  • Risk of failure. If there is one control unit for two modules, then if the latter breaks down, both parts of the machine cease to function.
  • Overpriced. Like everything new, double SMAs cost more to sell than they deserve. The price of some models reaches almost 200 rubles.
