Whether you're a student, a working professional living alone, or a small family of 2-3 members, a 7kg washing machine is perfect, saving space and electricity. But which cheap 7kg washing machine in 2023 can meet these criteria effectively?
Allow me to unveil and suggest the top 3 best 7kg washing machine models that I've had the opportunity to use. Through my evaluations of the pros and cons, you'll gain a more objective view for selecting the right product.
1. Toshiba 7kg Washing Machine AW-L805AV (SG)
This is the most affordable 7kg washing machine that I want to recommend to you today, priced at only approximately 3,990,000 VND, yet remarkably energy-saving. With its top-loading design, it doesn't take up much space. The metal frame is electrostatically painted in a sturdy gray color, minimizing dirt and dust buildup. Additionally, the compartments for detergent and fabric softener are clearly separated, optimizing the washing and rinsing process better than traditional undivided compartments. The control panel is in Vietnamese, easy to use, even for seniors or first-time users.
Despite being an affordable product without Inverter technology, its electricity consumption is very low, at just 4.11 Wh/kg, the lowest among the products introduced today. Your family won't have to spend much on electricity bills each month.
This machine is perfect for daily laundry needs with 8 convenient wash programs, capable of washing various types of clothes, blankets, jeans, and more with ease. Additionally, using a washing machine eliminates the need to wring clothes by hand, optimizing drying time. Despite its low price, this machine is equipped with various washing technologies:
- Tangle-free clothes technology
- Fuzzy Logic sensor technology adjusts water levels and saves time
- 864-hole drum for even clothes rinsing
- Star-shaped crystal washing tub
For busy young individuals or forgetful ones, two convenient features include the assisted lid and auto-start function when power is restored, preventing the need to restart the program after a power outage.
2. Aqua 7kg Washing Machine AQW-U700Z1T
The Aqua 7kg Washing Machine AQW-U700Z1T is a top-loading washing machine with more vibrant colors, featuring bright yellow tones, suitable for young women or anyone who loves colorful designs. However, this product will consume more energy compared to the previous model, approximately 12.9 Wh/kg.
The control panel is designed on the right side of the lid, which can prevent water splashes from damaging the control circuitry over time. Additionally, a note for users is that when in use, the motor will emit noise and vibration due to the traditional Belt Drive type. Therefore, you may consider appropriate timing to avoid affecting those around you.
The machine offers a total of 9 different wash programs, suitable for various washing purposes (quick wash, intensive wash, blanket wash, etc.). Moreover, the product is also equipped with additional washing technologies to eliminate odors and increase the efficiency of quick and thorough washing, such as:
- Nano Ag+ Odor Removal
- MultiJet multi-stream water spray
- Ultrasound washing technology
The machine features an extremely dry wringing utility, essential for busy individuals and the young. The antibacterial odor removal utility, auto-start function when power is restored, are also essential and useful. In the market, the product is being sold at a price range of about 4,900,000 VND. With the price and electricity consumption efficiency as mentioned, it may be high for some students, but suitable for financially capable individuals who appreciate colors, and enjoy decorating their rooms.
3. LG 7 kg Washing Machine F1407NMPW
Unlike the above two washing machine models, the LG 7 kg Washing Machine F1407NMPW features a more modern horizontal door design. The machine has a beautiful, elegant white design that enhances the aesthetics of living spaces. However, the horizontally opening door design will occupy space when in use, not suitable for small narrow homes.
The electricity usage efficiency of this product is higher than that of top-loading machines, approximately 17.4 Wh/kg. However, the LG washing machine excels in its optimal clothes wringing capability with double the spin speed of top-loading machines, up to 1400 revolutions per minute, achieving better efficiency and maximizing drying time savings.
Furthermore, during operation, the machine runs smoothly without noise or vibration thanks to its modern direct drive motor. The LG F1407NMPW washing machine also supports up to 13 different wash programs, catering to every washing need of household members from the elderly to young children. If you have a baby in your family, this product is even more suitable as it includes a separate children's clothes washing mode and operates smoothly and quietly.
In addition, the LG F1407NMPW washing machine is equipped with 6 motion DD technology, simulating 6 different washing motions to enhance cleaning effectiveness without damaging fabric materials. One feature that I particularly like when using modern LG washing machines is the smart error diagnosis feature via mobile phone. With this feature, I can quickly diagnose the machine's error status and provide reasonable troubleshooting solutions, saving time and cost compared to calling a technician for repair.
The price of LG front-loading washing machines will be higher than that of top-loading models, around 8,550,000 VND, but if you have young children and want to find a machine that can clean and wring clothes optimally, then this is a product not to be overlooked.
