Washing machine size
The space you can accommodate a washing machine is the first consideration when buying a washing machine. Most washing machines are 24 to 29 inches wide and their depth is usually between 24 to 34 inches. Capacity and size usually go hand in hand, and the typical model gives you about 4.5 cubic feet of textiles. Large capacity models are usually anything over 5 cubic feet, and if you use narrower space in your home, you’re looking to find a washing machine that has only about 3 cubic feet of space or smaller. You may have to send out large bedspreads and winter clothes, but you can still do the average laundry fee comfortably.
When evaluating the washing machine, I look for intuitive controls and settings.
Washing machine style
Washing machines are usually of the highest load or front load model. Top-mount models tend to have greater capabilities and use a mixer (the central cylinder that moves clothes) to scrub the laundry room. The front-load models may have a slightly smaller capacity and are usually used with impellers, which helps to rotate clothes on the basin so that they can rub against each other to wipe the stain.

The back of the top loading models may be easier because they require less bending to load and unload, but if you don’t have room to accommodate a washer and dryer, it’s not as easy to get as the stackable option. Most washing machines come in white, black or stainless steel finishes, and white is usually the cheapest option.

Washing machine cycle
Even basic model washers tend to have at least normal, refined and heavy duty cycles that automatically adjust the heat, water level and the length of the cycle setting. Some machines may have preset cycles for color loads versus white loads, and then have a reliable permanent press, which is usually the cyclic setting of synthetic materials with minimal wrinkles. More expensive digital models tend to have larger cycle settings, including cycle settings for bedding or towels, which are models that use steam to manage pet dander and dust or static allergens that can help manage mold items. Usually, you use the same setup regularly, so keep this in mind when deciding how much you want to spend on your washing machine.
