Selecting a Washer

How to select the best washing machine for your laundry room.

Capacity: When selecting a washer, consider both capacity and loading type. Capacity depends on the size of the wash basket.

Families with children and several loads daily may like the convenience of a large-capacity washer. Smaller-capacity models, which use less water and energy, can be economical for singles and couples. Front-load washers use less water, making them energy efficient and environmentally friendly.

Here is a list of typical washer capacities:

Compact: 1.7 to 2.3 cubic feet

Medium: 2.1 to 2.5 cubic feet

Large: 2.7 to 3 cubic feet

Extra-large: 3.1 or more cubic feet
