Top-Loading
Washer
Top-loading washing machines allow you to access the wash tub
without having to bend over.
These washers fill the tub with water then
agitate the clothing to clean. Some newer models use wash
plates to move the clothing throughout the water.
Top-loading machines are the most common type or washer
and offer the greatest selection of models.

Front-Loading
Washer
Front-loading washing machines have become popular because
of their energy efficiency. This type uses about 1/3 less
water than a top-loader as they only partially fill with water.
These models get clothes clean by tumbling the clothing.
This style has faster spin speeds resulting in clothes drying
faster in a shorter period of time.
Front
loading machines can often be stacked with a dryer to reduce
space.
Most of these washers require special detergent that is readily
available in stores. |

Think about the size of your family and how often you use the
washer. The more you are able to wash in a single load, the
less money and time you will spend. Make sure when selecting a
washer it is comparable in capacity to the dryer you own or
decide to purchase.
For those with limited space, stackable washer/dryer units are
available in both full-size or 'apartment-size' capacities.

Standard Finishes
The majority of washing machines today are offered in a neutral
white finish. Some models are available in other appealing
colors. |
Washing machines offer a variety of desirable features.
Here are some you should consider when selecting the best one
for your needs.
Washer
Cycles. Most machines offer 4-5 basic washing cycles
depending on the type of clothing you are washing.
Advanced machines offer numerous options to customize the
wash-cycle based on the types of fabrics and colors you are
washing.
Temperature
settings. Standard machines feature basic temperature
settings. (Hot/Cold - Warm/Cold - Cold/Cold.) Advanced
models feature multiple temperature settings to ensure the best
cleaning options for all types of fabrics.
Automatic
Temperature settings adjust water temperature automatically
to prevent shrinking and bleeding.
Water
Levels. Standard machines have basic manual water
level settings while advanced models use sensors to determine
the load size and adjust the water levels appropriately.
Washer
Noise reduction. This is an important feature to look
for, particularly if your washer is located near a frequently
used living area. Manufacturers use insulation and other
noise reducing technologies to make their washer run more
quietly.
Dispensing
Systems. Advanced models feature automatic dispensers
that distribute detergent, bleach and fabric softener at the
proper time during the was cycle.
Unbalance
Sensor. Advanced models will sense if a load is out of
balance and automatically correct the problem by altering the
spin of the drum.
Lock-out
function. A desirable feature in homes with small
children.
Electronic
controls. One touch buttons to program and select
machine options.
Built-in
Heater. Heater boosts water to the correct temperature
for optimal cleaning results.
Stainless-steel
drums are usually found on high quality machines.
Extreme durability, performance and energy efficiency.
Optional
pedestal. Pedestals may be added to some models to
raise the height of the machine to make it easier to load and
unload.
Delay-wash feature allows you to complete the wash at a
more suitable time, even while you sleep.

Make sure it will fit!
Measure the space that you have available for your
new washer. Know the height, width and
depth of the area you want the new model to fit into. You will
also have to factor in the space required if you are also
purchasing a dryer. |
|
|
Efficiency
Washing
machines consume a large amount of both energy and water so it
is important to purchase one that is energy efficient.
Generally, front-load washers use less energy than top-loading
washers.
The
energy guide that is packed with every washing machine shows the
range of energy consumption in kwh/yr. ENERGY STARŪ qualified
models meet the highest quality energy standards. |
