8 Best Washing Machines of 2020, According to Laundry Pros
www.goodhousekeeping.com
best washing machines
Washing machines have gotten very fancy (and very pricey) in the last few years, and shopping for your perfect match can be overwhelming. Enter the Good Housekeeping Institute Home Appliances and Cleaning Products Lab experts, who have decades of testing under their belts and know the best models to consider in 2020.
When we test washing machines, we evaluate them on the regular, heavy duty and delicate cycles for how well they clean and remove stains, how much energy and water they consume, and how gentle they are on fabric. We also test specialty cycles like bulky bedding and quick or speed wash to see if they perform up to our expectations. If there's a sanitizing cycle, we confirm the machine reaches a high enough temperature for the required amount of time to adequately kill germs on fabrics. We also test each model’s control panel for intuitiveness, how responsive it is and how easy it is to use. We even check how easy it is to open and close the door, and how easy it is to load and unload big and small laundry bundles into the machine.

What type of washing machine is better: top-loading or front-loading?
The first decision you’ll have to make is whether you want a front- or top-loading machine. In Good Housekeeping Institute tests, both types clean so well you’ll likely not notice a difference in your clothing, though our tests show front loaders do perform a bit better. Which you choose is really a matter of personal preference.
A front-loading washing machine is the most energy efficient option. It uses the least amount of water in each load. Clothes get cleaned when they tumble in a small pool of water that’s added by the machine once it senses the weight and type of load. Front loaders can easily handle big, bulky items, like comforters and sleeping bags, but do require bending to load and unload the tub. Most manufacturers sell pedestal drawers to raise the appliances up off the floor and save some strain on your back.
If space is tight, a front load washer can be stacked with its matching dryer and placed in a closet, bathroom or any narrow area where water, electrical connections and venting are available. Keep in mind that water often puddles in the door gasket, dispensers and even the drum itself at the end of the cycle and can lead to mold growth and odors. If you choose a front loader, you’ll need to be diligent about cleaning the gasket and dispenser and leaving the door ajar so the drum dries out and odors don’t develop.

A top-loading washing machine is a good choice if you like a more traditional configuration. Because the water in top-loaders drains down and out, they are less likely to develop mold and odors than front-loaders are and that's the reason many consumers prefer them. However, it’s a good idea to clean the tub and dispensers of all washing machines about once per month. Newer, high-efficiency top-loading models provide excellent cleaning and are still energy efficient even though they use more water than front loaders and they can come with or without center agitators.
Top loaders without agitators have huge tubs for extra-large loads and gently bounce clothing under a shower of water. Agitator models may be less expensive and can be a little less gentle on fabrics. They get clothes clean by moving them through a pool of water so fabrics are well rinsed and detergent, especially single-dose packs, are more likely to dissolve completely in them. Top loaders with agitators may have smaller tubs and use the most water of any style washer.

Our previous one was a front load (forgot the brand). The wife complained can only use special washing detergent for front load, so wanted a top load now.
$729?
