When shopping for a new washer, there are a number of factors to consider. The dimensions of the appliance and its capacity are two of the first things to think about. Next, you will need to compare prices. Of course, quality is extremely important too.
There’s no point in investing in a washer that does not get the job done right or one that will break in a couple of years. This is why it’s so important to choose the right brand. Here are a few top picks.
LG Brand Washers
As an appliance brand, LG has had its ups and downs. These days, their products are highly respected for their quality, innovation and affordability.
One of the best washer models is the LG WM3900H. It’s great for getting rid of stubborn dirt and stains. It also handles your fabrics with greater care. This washer offers one of the widest ranges of wash cycle options and it will also help you save time since its cycles are shorter than most other high-efficiency washers. You can select a very high temperature if needed as well as run a prewash to get rid of stains easier. There are also options for extra rinses. Mildew is a problem that affects many washers. Fortunately, this model has a door-prop feature to prevent mildew from taking hold.
Electrolux Brand Washers
This brand has a reputation for being easily affordable for just about every household, and its EFLS627U model is particularly loved for its powerful stain removing ability. This model also has some features that may seem odd to some but indispensable to others.
For example, it has a reversible door and a special compartment for dissolving laundry detergent pods. The wash cycles are longer and this washer may beat up your clothes a bit more. It is also more likely to require repairs relatively early in its lifespan compared to other brands. Of course, when you are looking for something affordable, quality is not always the top priority.
Miele Brand Washers
If durability and reliability are what you are after, you should consider the Miele W1. This brand is known for producing some of the most durable washers on the market. They can last as long as 20 years without a problem.
Sure, you might need to perform some degree of maintenance but, for the most part, these washers will not give you any gray hairs. They are also extremely effective at stain removal and they handle your fabrics with care. Miele costs somewhat more than other brands but, considering the quality, it’s worth the investment.
Maytag Brand Washers
If you are on a tight budget, you could always opt for a top-loader with an agitator. Whirlpool and Maytag are known for making some decent top-loader washers. One example is the Maytag MVWC465HW. This washer will get the job done without being too rough on your fabrics. It also has features like a Deep Wash Option and a Powerwash setting.
Cheaper models are at least somewhat inferior in terms of quality so, make sure that you manage your expectations when buying such an affordable appliance. It is bound to require some repairs sooner rather than later but it’s good for those who simply don’t have the money for a more expensive model.
