What Types of Washing Machines Are Available?
We offer three main types of washing machines, each with its own benefits:
- Front Load Washing Machines: Energy-efficient and water-saving, front loaders are gentle on clothes and ideal for smaller spaces.
- Top Load Washing Machines: Easy to load and reliable, top loaders are perfect for quick and simple washes.
- Washer-Dryer Combos: Save space and time with a machine that washes and dries your laundry in one cycle.
Not sure which is right for you? Check out our Washing Machine Buying Guide for more details.
How Do You Clean a Washing Machine?
Keeping your washing machine clean is easy and ensures better performance over time. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Use the Cleaning Cycle: If your washing machine has a cleaning program, run it as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Hot Water and Vinegar: Add one cup of white vinegar or 1/2 a cup of bicarbonate soda to the drum and run a hot cycle.
3. Scrub and Wipe: For top loaders, pause the cycle when water drains and scrub the drum holes with a cloth or brush. Wipe the exterior with warm soapy water.
Make this a monthly habit, or clean more frequently if you wash heavily-soiled laundry regularly.
What Size Washing Machine Do You Need?
Choosing the right size is essential to avoid wasted water and energy. Here’s a simple guide:
Small (6kg-8kg): Ideal for 1-2 people or light loads.
Medium (8kg-10kg): Perfect for families of 3-4 people.
Large (10kg-12kg or more): Best for households of 5+ or for washing bulky items like quilts and towels.
Always measure your laundry space to ensure a good fit.
Front Loader vs Top Loader: Which Should You Choose?
Both types have unique benefits:
Front Loaders: They use less water, spin faster for shorter drying times, and are gentler on clothes. Many models also stack neatly with dryers to save space.
Top Loaders: Easier to load, faster cycles, and the ability to add clothes mid-cycle. They’re typically more affordable upfront.
Still unsure? Think about your laundry habits, available space, and budget.
What Features Should You Look for in a Washing Machine?
Modern washing machines come with a variety of helpful features, including:
Energy and Water Efficiency: Look for models with 4+ star ratings.
Smart Features: Wi-Fi connectivity, remote control, and app integration.
