Purchasing a Washing Machine is Still About the Basics

Washing machine manufacturers have worked hard over the last few years to produce more durable and efficient machines.  Along the way, they have also provided so many options and enhancements; you might feel like you are trying to purchase a new car.

There are so many bells and whistles on washers that it is often easy to lose sight of the most basic things you need to remember when it comes to purchasing a new washer.  Here is just a short list of reminders:

Load Size – are you a single person or a family of 6?  Thinking about your normal load size is crucial when purchasing a washing machine.  A washer with too small of a drum will result in more wash loads (and thus more water usage) and a drum too large will result in wasted water usage.

Space Considerations – do you live in a small apartment or do you have a dedicated laundry room?  Be sure to measure the space available for the washer and dryer.  Don’t forget to measure the height space available as well.

Efficiency – are you overly concerned about water and electricity usage?  Whether you prefer a top loading machine or front loading machine, look for one that is rated high efficiency.  These washers tend to use less water, thereby reducing drying time and energy consumption.

Remember the basics if you are about to purchase a new washing machine.  It’s easy to forget the small things when looking at all of the options available to you with today’s washing machines.
