Front Loading Washer

The popularity of front loading washer is associated with itslarge washing capacity. It occupies the space between 3.9 to 5.1 cubic feet.This washer enables you to wash your bed sheets, comforters and blankets athome with ease. Various top loading washers have extended their capacity but itis not parallel to the spacious front loaders. They are sleek and boast thelatest steam and advance settings.  Theyare effective in saving water and energy unlike others. In my opinion thiswould be a great choice!

Top Loading Washer

The waterrequirement in top loader is excessive, as it is compulsory to soak the clothesproperly. These washers are recognized with the Energy Star rating as they areavailable in high efficiency and conventional models.

From basic wash to two wash cycles, touch screens and lotmore is available in top loaders.

Wash- dry combinations are popularly used in Europe, butnow the rest of the world has realized its effectiveness and has started todeploy them. It is an all in one machine that not only washed your clothes butalso dries them. It is a perfect machine for early goers; they can wash clothesat night and wear them with ease in the morning. They are convenient as theyoccupy half of the space only.

These are the dream machines for those who do not havebundles to wash daily. Compact washers consist of small capacities; fit forthose who have space restrictions. They are not configured with variety ofoptions that top load washers possess. The utility factor stands out in thiscategory as they perfectly clean your clothes without occupying too much space.These washers can be heaped with front load compact dryers.
