The stainless steel walls can sustain temperatures of more than 160 degrees fahrenheit.
What is better stainless steel or ceramic washer tub.
Because less energy is required to dry stainless steel tubs often use a 450 watt heating element compared to the 600 750 watt elements used in plastic tubs.
Stainless steel in comparison is much less porous and much less likely to accumulate stains and odors over the life of the machine.
I will never buy another dryer with a porcelain tub again that discolors like 5 25 year old whirlpool duet gas dryer.
But like porcelain coated tubs plastic ones are porous.
I see that their new whirlpool duet gas dryers now have a stainless steel drum.
The hot water accentuates the detergent s washing power leading to not only cleaner but also well sterilized dishes.
A stainless steel tub shows better durability against wear and tear compared to other tub materials.
I feel stainless steel retains the heat better also so quickens up the drying time.
The stainless steel tubs end up saving around 200 watts as compared to plastic tubs in the process.
In time the interior of porcelain and plastic tubs may become discolored and smelly.
Most washing machine drums are either stainless steel plastic or porcelain coated steel.
You ll use less electricity and ultimately save money over time even though stainless steel is more expensive initially.
It might have its own costs but it saves you a lot in the long run.
Stainless steel is the most durable of these materials and will last the life of the washer without issue.
Both the plastic and porcelain used in washing machine tubs are porous and the tub surfaces can absorb stains and odors.
