Posted by: 25-Jun

Strengths: WELS 3 star water efficiency rating (75 litres), Water saving option

Weaknesses: Limited capacity, only one spin speed

The Simpson 36S550M is a medium capacity washing machine and is packed with the basic features sufficient for a small household. This is a top load version from Simpson and has a capacity of 5.5 kg. The eco-rinse option is a feature worth mentioning in this washing machine – with this option the machine saves 25% water consumed during every rinse. Guess this is the best bet for bachelors – yes, if you missed to add any clothes in the beginning you can just throw it to the machine during the process. Also, the compact capacity of the machine makes it the best bet to rely on when there only a few clothes to wash.

Rotary electronic controls, 3 stage progress indicator, wash choice selection, auto fabric conditioner dispenser add to the functionality of this little machine from Simpsons. The product has a 2 star energy rating and the energy consumption for cold wash is 65 kWh/year and 459 kWh/year for warm wash. When it comes to the downsides, the machine has only one spin speed and can accommodate only limited quantity of clothes. However, as mentioned earlier the 36S550M is the best bet when dealing limited amount of clothes and to meet your basic washing requirements.
