What type of washing machine is best for you?
What types of washing machines are commonly used at home? Which washing machine is best for daily use? Which washing machine has the least problems? Is the top-loader or front-loader better? This quick guide looks at the following aspects before picking up the best washing machine and dryer for your home.
What are the types of washing machines?
Top load washing machines & front load washing machines are the two popular types of washing machines that we have known for a long time. In addition to adapting with higher demands of users, manufacturers create various types besides the two. Here are some of the most popular types!
Top-load washing machine
The design of these washing machines are quite traditional and still common even though they’ve been around for sixty years. As the name suggests, their doors are designed on the top of the machines.

Front-load washing machine
As the names suggest, these washers have doors designed in front of the machines. And, they have drums with side paddles that lift up the clothes as well as use tub rotation and gravity to tumble them through water. The front load washers rinse clothes by repeatedly spraying high-pressure water on the clothes rather than soaking them in a full tub of water that will make your laundry more gentle.

Washer Dryer Combo
This type of washing machine is a single appliance that does the job of both washing and a dryer. Although it varies in size most of its types easily fits in a living space and helps save time doing laundry.

Is it better to have a washer-dryer combo or an independent dryer?
Depends on how much space you have at home. If your living space is small and you want to save time doing laundry, a washer-dryer combo is your best choice. Otherwise, you can explore separate machines but have more drying capacity and are more energy-efficient.
Twin-Tub Washer and Dryer
A Twin Tub washing machine has a large capacity with a rust proof body and the Air Turbo Spin Drying System which can help shorten your drying time as well as your laundry.
In case you are wondering: “Can a twin tub wash and spin at the same time?”, the answer is “Obviously, yes! You can do both washing and spinning clothes at the same time in a Samsung Twin-Tub”
