The type of display provided in the design of the washing machine.
The display located on the control panel provides additional convenience: it can show various information about the operation of the machine. In this case, the specific functionality of the display depends on its type. So, in the vast majority of cases, the simplest
LED displays are used. They can only display numbers and some special characters, but even this is usually sufficient. In some models,
TFT displays can be installed — similar to those used in smartphones. Such a display can display not only text information but also various graphics, and sometimes it is even made touch-sensitive. However, it makes sense to use such displays only in high-end washing machines with an abundance of functions.
The country in which the washing machine was manufactured (according to the manufacturer's statement). Despite the fact that production facilities in
China are often used to assemble household appliances, specifically among washing machines there are many products assembled in Europe (
Germany,
Italy,
Poland,
Romania,
Slovakia,
Slovenia, Turkey) or in the post-Soviet space (
Belarus,
Russia,
Ukraine).
There are many stereotypes about how the build quality depends on the specific "homeland" of the device. However, most of them are not justified: the thoroughness of quality control does not depend directly on the location of production. And within individual brands, the situations in this regard can be completely opposite: relatively speaking, for one company, Polish-assembled machines can be considered more reliable than Romanian ones, and for another, vice versa. In addition, such information (about which plant a given brand has is better) often turns out to be unconfirmed rumours. In light of all this, it makes sense to pay attention to the country of production. Especially if you fundamentally want (or do
...not want) to support a certain state by purchasing products manufactured in it.
