Confused About What Washing Machine to Buy?

by | Apr 28, 2025 | News

Here’s What No One’s Telling You (But You’ll Wish You Knew Before You Bought One)

Buying a washing machine in the Philippines shouldn’t feel like solving a puzzle. But with so many models, features, and price points out there, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

At Emcor, we’re not just here to sell you another appliance. We’re here to make sure you never regret your choice—whether you’re doing laundry for a family of five or 500 shirts a day for your laundry biz.

Let’s make this decision easy.

Step 1: Choose the Right Type for Your Lifestyle

Let’s break down the real differences that matter to you:

Type Best For Why Choose It
Top Load (Agitator) Families on a budget, renters Easy to use, affordable, uses more water
Top Load (Impeller) Busy households, gentler fabric care More efficient, less wear on clothes
Front Load Modern homes, condos, businesses High-efficiency, best wash quality, saves water & power
Twin Tub (Manual) Budget-conscious, rural areas, backups Ultra-budget, lower power use, but manual work needed

💡 Pro Tip: If you do laundry daily or run a laundry business, investing in a front-load model is a game-changer. Less water. Less power. Cleaner clothes.

Step 2: Match the Capacity to Your Load

Buying too small? You’ll end up doing more loads and wasting water.
Buying too big? You’re paying for power you don’t use.

Here’s a cheat sheet:

Load Size Capacity You Need
1–2 people 6–7 kg
3–5 people 8–10 kg
6+ people or business use 11–16 kg+

At Emcor, we ask every customer how many kilos of laundry they do weekly before we recommend a model. That way, your machine works smarter—not harder.

Step 3: Know What Features Actually Matter

A bunch of buttons doesn’t always mean better. Here’s what truly matters:

  • Inverter Tech = energy-efficient + quieter
  • Quick Wash = fast cycles when you’re in a rush
  • Child Lock = peace of mind for parents
  • Auto Load Sensing = saves water by adjusting per batch
  • Lint Filters = crucial for clean, clog-free washes

🛑 Don’t just go by the display. Go by how the features align with how YOU do laundry. That’s what we’ll walk you through when you shop with us.

Step 4: What’s the Real Cost? (Not Just the Tag Price)

Here’s the question we ask all Emcor customers:

“How much is your time, water, and electricity worth?”

Going cheap upfront might cost you more long-term. Here’s why:

  • Cheaper machines often mean higher utility bills
  • Less durable parts = frequent breakdowns
  • No inverter = noisy, inefficient operation

That’s why Emcor offers easy payment terms—so you can afford a better machine without paying all upfront.

Step 5: Don’t Forget the Installation

You bought a new washer… but who’s going to install it?

✅ When you order from Emcor, we:

  • Deliver straight to your door
  • Handle proper installation (especially for front-load units)
  • Walk you through first use

Because the last thing you want is a “new” washing machine that can’t even get started right.
