Washing Machines for Convenience Buying Guide
Doing laundry probably won't ever be fun, but a washing machine built for ease and convenience can make laundry days easier, faster and less of a chore. Most modern units on the market can get your clothes cleaner faster and with less hassle. Here are a few tips for your decision.
DISPENSERS
Detergent, bleach and softener
dispensers let you add your cleaning product
before the load begins; the machine will do the rest of the work for you. You do less, your washing machine does more, and your laundry gets cleaner in less time.
EXTRA SETTINGS
You'll need extra rinse and spin cycles once in a while, and some units can be preset to run them, saving you the trouble of running partial cycles and monitoring the washing machine to make sure it doesn't move on to the next stage.
VOLUME CAPACITY
If you like to do a few big loads instead of several smaller ones, you'll want a machine that can handle them and still wash the clothes well. Units over 2.5 cu ft are large by most standards, but if you do unusually
large loads, wash irregular items often or have an exceptionally large family, consider something bigger.
