No. We are in 2020, if you target the top 3 brands, the machine are equivalent disregarding their design. Sellers have arguments to make you buy the one they are earning most from.

If you live on your own you probably don't need a washing machine.
I have been washing my clothes, by hand, with a plastic tub for around 5 years.
The clothes end up just as clean as washing them in a machine.
It also saves me on the electricity and water bill.

Front-Load washing machine for the win

For me, front loaders are the better option, due to space requirements. I have a washer and dryer stacked in a closet off of my house's main hallway. I just slide a basket in front of the washer, open the door, and scoop them in. Took a while to figure out the mold issue, but they've been great otherwise.

I'm going to be putting in a grey water system at house we just bought. During research I've found Front loaders use way less water than toppers. I've had both and I'd say front loaders are easier on clothes also.
I'm not sure how many cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27.

SWMBO would only allow a front loader, and I'm not about to argue with her.

Get one with direct drive technology to reduce vibrations, noise and maintenance in the long term.
If one day you need space you will be able to put your dryer on top of the washing machine if it's a front loading one.
Be careful with the ones that save water... if the water in your place is not good enough they could not wash as expected.
And my expertise with washing machines end here... Except Bosch and Siemens machines have (maybe had) a big round button that was manufactured in a machine I programmed a few years ago...
Good luck with your new machine! ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)

Thank you one and all.
Your advice was most helpful and provided useful guidance.
And the winner is: A front loading machine.
It has a big dent and a scratched up front window. The washer and dryer don't match. It looks strange compared to the washers I've had in the past.
(I got it at a scratch and dent outfit.)
On the plus side; it works fantastically.
Plus two: it gives you options for, I think, 500 (five hundred) different combinations of cycles.
As for the problem with mold, well, the future will tell, but there is a vent-o-matic setting on this thing which you invoke after your last load of the day. It spins the tub/chamber/whatever at relatively low RPM, evidently (I'm guessing) to create a slight air flow through the high-tech venting system they have designed into the thing.
The tub will spin at this low speed for a solid hour; two or three if needed; I think; whatever, a long time.
I was astounded.
When vent-o-matic was finished, every drop of moisture was gone from the window, tub surface, and the seal around the door.
Again, the future will tell.

I hate it when politicians do that: "I sorry if anyone was offended by ..." rather than "I apologise for giving offence when ..."
The second version is taking responsibility, the former is blaming the offended.

Often true, but sometimes the easily offended are to blame.
|
|
|
|
|
Exactly. I use that one all the time.
If I'm wrong, I'll own up. But if some snowflake decides to take offense at something I say, that's really not my problem and I hardly ever miss an opportunity to tell them exactly that - whether they understand it as I intended or not.

So the first one is correct about 95% of the time? 
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

No, "I'm sorry" is never an apology; it simply means "I share your sorrow" or "I feel your pain".
