• The washing process uses a huge amount of powder and water.

Washing units drum type quite popular than the previous type, because washing machines of this type differ from the rest in their simplicity in terms of automation, saving powders and water, as well as high-quality washed things.

There are also disadvantages, for example, a drum-type washing machine is quite difficult to operate and has a very low level of reliability.

Without a doubt, automatic washing machines are very convenient to use, as well as simple, reliable and comfortable than their semi-automatic counterparts.
