Types of Washing Machine

You will be easily dazzled by enormous categories of washing machines when we select and purchase washing machines on Amazon or Walmart. Now with the washing machine guide and explanation below you will no longer be confused. Most washing machines are sorted out according to their operating pattern: front-loading washing machines, top-loading washing machines, and dryers. There are also some portable washing machines, zoned washing machines, commercial washers, etc. If you are still difficult in making choices between various types of washers, you can also consult us for further advice.


  • Front Load Washing Machine for Sale

Front-Load washing machines, or so-called drum type washers, work resembling the traditional hand-washing pattern by using internal pressure to slam the laundry, just like a mallet repeatedly slapping the laundry to clean. It is observed and found out that laundries disposed by front-load washers are usually less wear and tear, more clean and tidy. The front door is open for putting in and removing the laundry. Unlike traditional top-load washers, front door automatic washing machines are not occupied, which can often be placed with the matching dryer overlapping or can be used to store other things.


  • Types of Top Loading Washing Machine

Top-Load washing machines, most of which are classified into the wave wheel type, are driven by electric motors to drive the wave wheel rotates and produces a vortex, which makes the laundry tumble, bump and recycle for several times to remove stains as far as possible. The upper door makes it convenient to put in and remove clothes, frees people from bending down, and occupies a relatively small area.

Washing Machine Features

  • Auto Weighting: Power on and start, the auto weighting is activated to measure the laundry weight and water level, then the appropriate program will be given and the washing process will start. This feature can save money by limiting water usage to only that which is necessary.

  • Automatic Dispensers: An appropriate amount of detergent is automatically dosed according to the weight and material of laundry to ensure the best washing performance. SenseDose can prevent wastage and excessive residues caused by too much detergent given, as well as poor washing performance due to the lack of detergent.

  • Self-clean: High temperature and flush flow can effectively clean the inner and outer drum, avoiding secondary pollution.

  • WI-FI connectivity: Some of the more advanced washing machines have internal Wi-Fi transmitters, which can connected your mobile via Wi-Fi. Users can download the corresponding APP, that is, you can remote control the washing machine via the app, select the cleaning program, real-time query washing machine internal water, laundry status, etc... When the machine is faulty, you can also report the problem with one click and contact the manufacturer directly, which is convenient and fast.

  • Automatic Temperature Control: A washing machine with automatic temperature regulators will make sure that the water entering the machine will be at the proper temperature. Heating is done through heating tubes at the bottom, and the water temperature can reach up to 80 degrees. Hot water can effectively dissolve oil and dirt stains and can increase the effect of active enzymes in detergents. Therefore, Heat Wash can ensure better cleaning performance.

  • Energy Star Certification: ENERGY STAR® is the government-backed symbol for energy efficiency. The average American family washes about 300 loads of laundry each year. ENERGY STAR can help families cut their related energy and water costs. ENERGY STAR certified clothes washers use about 25% less energy and 33% less water than regular washers. Over the lifetime of the product, models that have earned the ENERGY STAR can save nearly $370 in energy costs.


In Summary

If you are concerned about washing effect, washing capacity, occupied area and other factors, a front door washing machine will be your best choice. A relatively better washing effect can be achieved with less water and detergent cost. In addition, more space will be saved by stacking with the dryer. Top door washing machines are still a good economical washing machine, which features a short washing time and good washing effect. A portable top-loader can be applied to camping, RV, small apartments and other scenes.
