How to Choose a Washing Machine
When it comes to choosing a washing machine, there are several things to consider.
- Top Loader vs Front Loader: There are pros and cons of top and front loader washers. Top loaders tend to last longer, accumulate less mold and mildew, and cost less. You’re more likely to be able to repair them yourself and you can usually open the lid mid-wash to add another piece of laundry. On the other hand, front loaders use less water, hold more clothes, and can be more accessible for those with physical limitations. They are also stackable, which can be a great space-saving solution in the laundry room. Unfortunately, they can accumulate more mold and mildew and offer slightly less longevity (14 years for a top loader, 11 years for a front loader).
- Agitator vs Impeller: Washers with agitators are more common than impellers, but that doesn’t necessarily make them better. Top loaders can feature agitators or impellers while front loaders use impellers to clean clothes. Both clean fairly effectively, but an agitator may be harder on your clothes. Models with agitators tend to be less expensive to purchase and maintain, while impeller washers are usually more energy-efficient and accommodate bulkier items and larger loads.
- Size and Capacity: You’ll need to consider the size of your space when choosing an LG washing machine. You’ll also need to consider the amount of laundry your family produces in a week and how large your loads usually are. This will help you determine whether you would benefit from a standard, large, or extra large capacity washer. Washers with 2–3 cubic feet of capacity are ideal for single or coupled households; washers with 3.1–4.5 cubic feet of capacity accommodate average households and loads every day; washers with more than 4.5 cubic feet of capacity are best for full-size households and high laundry demands.
- Smart Features: Some washing machines include smart features, such as being able to remotely start and stop a load of clothes. You can connect your washer to Wi-Fi and many appliance companies, like LG, have an app where you can access features and alerts for your device.
- Eco-friendly Features: Look for the blue ENERGY STAR label if saving water and energy are important to you. ENERGY STAR certified appliances must meet a strict set of qualifications for energy efficiency. ENERGY STAR aims to partner with companies to deliver cost-saving energy efficiency solutions that protect the climate, public health, and air quality.
- Price: LG washing machines range from around $900 to $2,900. As a general rule of thumb, a top load LG washer will be less expensive than a front loader. Capacity is another indicator of price. The higher the capacity, the higher the price.
