Whether you buy a used car from a dealer or an individual: Test drive the car under varied road conditions â on hills, highways, and in stop-and-go traffic. Ask for the car's maintenance record from the owner, dealer, or repair shop.
Other top-loading washing machines can spin as fast as 1600 rpm, although these models are usually more expensive. While spin speeds fluctuate by manufacturer and model, most top-loading washing machines have spin rates of about 800 rpm rather than 1600 rpm, which are rarer.
The speed of the wash cycle and the spin cycle are often displayed on the machine itself, especially on older models. For example: âfast/slowâ means that the cycle will produce a fast, highly agitated washing cycle and a slow spin cycle. Note that âfastâ in this instance means âvigorousâ, âbriskâ, or âintenseâ.
