Front-Load Washers: Gentle and Energy-Efficient
Having in-home laundry is essential for saving time and money. Choosing the right washer for your home will help you streamline household tasks, saving you time and allowing you to spend more time doing the things you love. If energy efficiency is a priority for your household, a front-load washer is the best choice. While these appliances are an investment, they can use up to 80% less water and 40% less energy when running, which will quickly offset the initial cost. In addition to lowering your utility bills, you can also reduce your environmental impact with minimal effort. If you're looking for the best of the best when it comes to energy efficiency, be sure to check out the many ENERGY STAR® rated front-load washers we offer. Front-load washers are ideal for people who are looking to cut drying time; the rapid spinning in these machines leaves clothing less damp when the cycle is finished, meaning less time in the dryer. Spending less time in the dryer is gentler on your clothing while also saving energy.
Another factor that makes front-load washing machines gentler on your clothing is the lack of an agitator, which can be harsh on delicate fabrics. Instead, the entire drum turns. If you struggle with mobility issues, a front-load washing machine is helpful because you don't have to reach up and into a deep top-loading model to grab a sock that got left behind. Without an agitator, front-load washers can also fit more of your stuff inside, whether that's clothing, bedding or towels. An important factor to consider when browsing our front-load washers is mold and mildew that can build up in the door's gasket. Luckily, this is a simple fix: leave the door open and wipe any moisture off the rubber gasket once the cycle has finished. Still considering the pros and cons of the different load types?

A Washing Machine for Every Need
Chic black? Modern stainless? Classic white? Whatever shade best matches your home, we have it. Choosing a color that coordinates well with your interior turns a functional appliance into a stylish statement. Of course, the features to choose from go far beyond colors. Say goodbye to tedious ironing when you opt for a washing machine with a steam option. This feature can be found across top brands and helps remove wrinkles while also offering a deeper clean. For the ultimate convenience, a smart appliance is the way to go. These front-load washers have integrated WiFi and can typically be controlled and monitored from an app on your smartphone or tablet. While the capabilities of each smart washer varies by manufacturer, common benefits include monitoring the wash cycle from your device or starting the machine without entering the laundry room, whether you're at work or relaxing on the couch.
