Basic knowledge of washing machines: how to determine the model? What do letters mean?

Do you know anything about washing machines?

What does 8 kilograms of laundry capacity represent? What do various literal combinations of models represent? Many people probably don't know. In these models, different numbers or letters often represent different meanings. In fact, these codes are not just the ID cards of household appliances. From the models, we can also see many clues, that is, each character represents a different type and performance of product. Through these models, we can purposefully choose household appliances.

Let's first talk about the weight of a washing machine in kilograms. 8 kilograms of a washing machine does not refer to the weight of water and clothes when filled with water, nor does it refer to the weight of clothes when wet, but to the weight of dry clothes. For washing machines, the rated washing capacity is the maximum capacity of a pure cotton cloth load that can be washed and dried once (with a water content of less than 8%).

Although 8 kilograms refers to the weight of dry clothes, the density of different clothes, fabrics, and textiles will definitely vary. Therefore, it is generally advisable to wash less when using a washing machine and take care of your own washing machine.

Let's take a look at the naming of models. The national standard requires the first letter of the model to be X or T. X represents the washing machine, which is the first pinyin letter of the washing machine, and T represents the dehydrator.

The second letter is used to indicate the type of washing machine, represented by the letters P, B, and Q. Among them, P represents the ordinary type, B represents the semi-automatic type, and Q represents the fully automatic type, which is currently the most common in the market.

The third digit in English represents the type of operation of the washing machine, where B is the pulsator type, G is the drum type, and D is the agitator type. At present, the most common ones are the wave wheel type and rolling type.

After three English letters, there will be two digits immediately following, such as 80 and 70 in the model. These two numbers represent the maximum washing capacity of the washing machine, measured in kilograms. For example, 80 represents 8 kilograms and 70 represents 7 kilograms.

Taking XQG80 as an example, it represents an 8kg fully automatic drum washing machine.
