Physical size and household size are two things to consider. Firstly, precisely measure where you want the washing machine to fit, also considering space for opening the door or lid, and power and hose connections. Some can be wall mounted if your laundry area is limited, or a washer dryer combo purchased. Then consider your household size and washing frequency for the load capacity. Here’s a guide.
Stacked front-loader washer dryers are a great space-saving option for smaller laundries or European laundries, aka those concealed behind cabinetry near the kitchen or bathroom. Meanwhile an under benchtop side-by-side washer and dryer set-up can give you more bench space, as could a combo unit. Wall mounted units again offer more productive floorspace. Consider your needs when laying out.
Top load washing machine is designed with a door on the top of the machine. With this layout, you don’t necessarily need to bend over while doing laundry since you load from above. And especially, you are free to add or remove items in the middle of the cycle.
Unlike top load washing machines, front loaders come with a door at the front which opens one side of the drum into which washing is placed. In most regions of the world, high-end washers are often of this type. Most commercial and industrial clothes washing machines worldwide are of the horizontal-axis design as well.
Once considering the precise space requirements of your unit, including power supply, and door or lid openings, you’ll also need access to hot and cold water and adequate drainage, either a sink or standpipe for installation.
For using, this detailed step-by-step guide can help you use your washing machine effectively.
To maintain the performance of your washing machine, run a self-clean function regularly. Otherwise, you can manually clean your unit by running a hot cycle with vinegar, scrubbing the drum to remove residue and cleaning the coin trap and drain pipe. To prevent mould and prolong the life of the door or lid seals, leave them open between washes.

Most washing machines have similar features as follows:
Regular/normal cycle: advisable for whites, sportswear, underwear, socks and t-shirts. Though efficiently removing stains, normal cycle may cause coloured clothes to fade due to strong agitation speeds and hot water.
Delicates: for lightweight and delicate clothes. Make sure to check the labels as some delicate clothes are “dry-clean only”. This feature is advisable for cotton blend sweaters, linen shirts and dri-fit sportswear.
Heavy duty: this is recommended for heavily soiled clothing and muddy items. Heavy duty cycles offer longer, warmer washes and high-speed tumbling to make sure all the dirt is flushed out and removed.
Key difference lies in the door design. While front loaders have a door and laundry is placed inside the drum from the front, top loaders have a lid on top and laundry is added from above.
Front loading washers are becoming more popular since they not only save space but are also more economical because they consume less water, electricity and detergent. See the detailed comparison between front load and top load washing machine here.
It is now possible to add clothes mid-cycle with ’pause and add clothes’ function, which is available on most electrolux washing machines. After pressing the button, wait for the door to unlock, add your items and press ’start/pause’ to recommence the wash cycle.
