Choosing a top brand washing machine may be on your agenda for a variety of reasons. Perhaps you’ve just purchased a home and need appliances. You may be in a home and your washing machine has just died and cannot be repaired. Maybe you want to upgrade your appliances because they are old and they suck up a lot of energy which causes your utility bill to be high. Or you may just want a new washing machine, which is perfectly fine.

Just in case you haven’t heard of all of the top brands, here is an alphabetical listing of your choices: AEG, Ariston, Bauknecht, Baumatic, Beko, Bosch, Candy, CDA, Creda, Dyson, Electrolux, GE, Haier, Hinari, Hoover, Hotpoint, Indesit, John Lewis, Kenmore, LG, Maytag, Miele, Philips, Samsung, Servis, Siemens, Smeg, Tecnik, Whirlpool and Zanussi. You may recognize many of these names for the other find products they create but perhaps you weren’t aware that they also make washing machines. If you have a brand loyalty, you will probably consider that name first but you owe it to yourself to check out the other names as well since these names are considered the industry leaders in top brand washing machines.

Among these brands, the features are many. If you don’t have a particular design or style in mind, that’s okay. You can start with an Internet search by the price you want to pay or the type of washing machine you’re looking to purchase. For many people, the front loading machine is the only way to go. This style is very popular and many top brands have their own particular ’spin’ on colors, features, functions, energy conservation, load capacity and more.

If you are the type who prefers the top loading washing machines, there are many different choices for you also. Fully integrated or free standing machines in the top loading design are manufactured by many top brand names at speeds under 1000 rpm (rotations per minute) up to 1800 rpm. Need to find a machine that uses a little energy but belts out high performance load after load? The top brands have it covered.

As an additional consideration, you may want to determine how flexible your budget is before you start shopping. Most of these quality washing machines are available as a set with a matching dryer to go along. You may only need a washing machine but you may find that it’s just as easy and relatively economical to purchase the pair and upgrade your entire washing system.
