Review The Whirlpool WTW7500GW top-load washer is a little pricey, but it offers some innovative features that will make it feel like an upgrade rather than just a replacement for your old washing machine.

Review The GE GTW330ASKWW is a traditional unit with an agitator for cleaning.

Review The LG WT7200CV top-load washer offers the right combination of energy efficiency, price, warranty and features. Many competitors we looked at in the same price range had several of those attributes, but this washing machine had all of them together.

The Splendide 2100XC washer dryer combo is made for mobile environments, meaning it has a rugged design for recreational vehicles or campers, though you can still use it in a small apartment. It uses a stability regulator to reduce noise and has simple controls.

The LG WM3488HS washer dryer combo is a compact unit that uses LG’s 6Motion technology, which means the drum combines six different motions during a wash cycle.

The LG WM3997HWA washer dryer combo uses TurboWash technology with high-pressure nozzles. It may be the largest washer dryer we reviewed at 4.2 cubic feet, but its efficient use of space makes it one of the best options out there.

The Deco DC 4000 CV washer dryer combo offers both venting and condensing for the dryer cycle. This means you can vent air to a traditional outlet, which is generally associated with more efficient drying, or have moist air go through a condensing process with no need for venting of any kind.

The Summit SPWD2200W washer dryer combo has 2 cubic feet of washing and drying capacity and a big, easy-to-read digital display.

The Haier HLC1700AXW is a compact washer dryer combo with 11 wash cycles and four dryer cycles and an average capacity.

The Midea US-FC70-DS12DSH washer dryer combo is an affordable, highly functional machine that is compact and easy to use, and it has a few extras like an automatic load sense. This washer dryer is also energy efficient and comes with a generous warranty.

The Haier HLC1700AXS offers what people are seeking in a washer dryer combination – compact convenience. It's also noticeably more energy efficient than many we compared.

Large capacity is generally regarded as a selling point, but not everyone has a sprawling laundry room. If you need a compact front loading washer, we recommend the LG WM1388HW.

A lackluster warranty and energy efficiency score keep the GE GFW450SSMWW from making the top spots in our lineup, but this large capacity front-load washer still has some good things to offer. It has a quick cycle for when you are in a hurry and steam cleaning power for breaking up tough stains.
