Laundry

Review If you need a dryer to tackle those heavy-loads in record time, the Maytag MEDB955FW 9.2 cu ft Electric Dryer is impressive.

Review If you’re tight for space to fit a standard dryer, the Bosch 300 Series Compact Dryer packs in a powerful punch.

Review A large-capacity, low-cost model perfect for families and those looking for a no-frills washer, the Samsung WF42H5000AW is our pick for affordability.

Review You don't need to compromise on features or quality to get a great compact front-load washer.

REVIEW The LG MW9000HVA is the best high-end front load washer on the market.

REVIEW With an unbeatable warranty and affordable price, the Maytag MHW5630HW is the front runner of front load washers.

REVIEW The Samsung WF50K7500AW is a brilliant family-friendly washer with a large capacity and impressive smart features.

Review With otherwise impressive features and a good capacity for a reasonable price, the warranty of the GE GFW450SSMWW lets it down.

With its gigantic capacity and long list of features, the Kenmore Elite 61633 saves you time by doing lots of laundry in one load. It does it efficiently, too, especially considering how large it is.

The LG DLE7200VE is energy efficient and reasonably-priced yet still has lots of advanced features. Sensor Dry tracks moisture levels and adjusts drying times automatically so you don't have to babysit your loads.

The Maytag MEDX655DW lacks a lot of the features that are common on newer machines but still has some good capabilities and we found it for as little as $550. That is a great price for a dryer that is relatively large and ready to help tackle large piles of laundry.

The Hotpoint HTX24EASKWS is not a dryer that stands out from the pack but if you are buying the matching washer, the Hotpoint HTW240ASKWS, it will be a fine addition to your laundry room. It could also be a nice companion for any washer in the range of 3-3.5 cubic feet.

Samsung DV8750 has so many cycle types that you can be confident each load will get exactly what it needs to come out dry without damaging fabrics. It had more options than any dryer we compared, including specific cycles for active wear, wrinkle reduction and bedding.

The Frigidaire FFRE4120SW is a nice middle point between the most innovative machines and the most budget-friendly. It has some modern touches that make it feel like a true upgrade but it is not quite in the realm of things like smartphone control and steam cycles that you see on the pricier units.

The Amana NED4655EW is the least expensive model we considered but it still outranks quite a few others. It does not compare well in all ways but this machine will be just fine for laundry duty in many households.

The GE GTD33EASKWW is a lackluster unit by most measures but it does have a lot of capacity for the price. It will be the perfect companion for its matching washer, the GTW330ASKWW, but it is not going to be a great choice outside of that scenario. This is a very budget-friendly option.
