All Washers: Front Load & Top Load

Washers are a simple way to add significant convenience to your home no matter what your space looks like. When shopping for a new clothes washer for your home, there are plenty of features to consider. Combo units do the washing and the drying for you, making them a space-saving and budget-friendly option. Stacked units are great if you store your machines in a narrow space like a laundry closet. If you haven't purchased one in a while, you'll be pleasantly surprised at the advent of smart technology. With it, you'll be able to control your appliance from an app on your smartphone or tablet. While capabilities will vary from brand to brand, a smart washer will typically let you monitor the wash cycle from your phone, schedule a cycle or even start your machine while you're at work or on the road. They add a layer of convenience to laundry day so you can spend less time doing chores.

However, the biggest feature to consider is whether you prefer a top-load or a front-load washing machine. Each has their pros and cons to consider when making your purchase. Top-load models are classic and are likely more familiar to users. They don't typically lock so you can open the machine and throw in a forgotten sock you discovered in the laundry room. Their repairs tend to be simpler as well. Front-load washing machines are typically more energy efficient. The door in the front of the appliance offers easier access to wheelchair users, individuals with mobility issues or shorter users. They typically lock while in use, preventing water from leaking out of the machine and preventing small children from trying to open the door while in use.

Choosing the Best Model for Your Home

The right appliance should seamlessly fit in your home both in terms of aesthetics and functionality. The washing machine's capacity is a major factor when considering the space your appliance will occupy. Models with larger capacities tend to have larger exterior dimensions so if space is at a premium in your home, be sure to note the appliance's dimensions. Your household size also plays a role in determining the right capacity for you: if you live alone, you may not need a 5 cu. ft. model, though that capacity is a great choice for a larger family. Of course, the fit of your washer isn't the only factor to consider. Your machine can also match the aesthetic of your home. Our large selection includes machines in every shade, from black to white to stainless and even other hues like champagne. You can also consider the style: do you prefer a sleek, modern design or something more traditional? We have a washer for you no matter what your preferences are.
