Have you ever thought about how hard your washer works to keep your clothes looking fresh and new? It plays a part in how others see you and your wardrobe. So, you definitely want the one that works best for you. Here are a few things to keep in mind when shopping:
Capacity
A large family or anyone who plans on using their washer to clean bedding will want to choose one with a substantial capacity. Look for a washer that is between four and a half and five cubic feet. If you don’t do a lot of washing or it’s just you and a partner, consider one that is three cubic feet.
Size
You want the washer to fit your space. If you’re in a home with its own laundry room, this probably won’t be an issue. However, if you’re renting a small apartment or are in a condo, this may be a bigger concern. Look for a stackable washer and dryer set. Front-load models are great for this. Another option is a portable washer with wheels. You can move it to a sink and hook it up to the faucet when it’s time to do laundry and store it when you don’t need it.
Gentle on your clothes
The better option for this is a front-load machine. This model doesn’t have an agitator, which means less force is used to clean clothes. It also uses less water and detergent, which is better to keep your fabric intact and strong.
Energy Efficient
Consider a high-efficiency washer, which is better for the environment and your hydro bills. It spins at a faster speed and removes more water, which results in shorter drying time. It does require a specific type of detergent, so keep this in mind.
