Front-loading machines spin clothes dry at a very high rpm, (revolutions per minute) thereby extracting more
water from your clothes than top-loading machines. With less water imbedded in your clothing, your dryer doesn't
have to work as hard, thus providing additional energy savings.
Space
When choosing your new washer, be sure to keep in mind any space constraints you may have. Almost all
washers have the same dimensions – approximately 43" high by 27" wide by 26" deep. But if space is an issue,
there are several models that are more compact, measuring only 24" wide to fit in small laundry rooms or even
closets. Also, most front-loading machines can be stacked for further space conservation.
Load Capacity
Load Capacity is another important factor you will need to consider when purchasing a washing machine.
Three basic tub sizes are available (small, medium and large) and different washing machines accommodate
different sized loads of laundry. Considerations such as family size, clothing type, quantity of clothing and
amount of space must be taken into account. Front-loading machines have the largest capacity due to the ab-
sence of bulky agitators.
Wash Tubs
Better machines feature wash tubs that are made of scratch-proof porcelain, while the best washers have
rust-proof stainless steel tubs. A chipped or rusty wash tub can damage your clothing, so it is important to
check your wash tub periodically for damage if you do not want to invest in a model with a corrosion-proof
stainless steel tub.
Sound Dampening
If you are looking to replace an older machine, perhaps you have grown all too familiar with the fierce
rumbling that echoes throughout your home when the wash cycle is running. Good news! Many newer model
washing machines feature sound dampening features for a noiseless laundry experience. If quiet operation is of
priority to you, be sure to double check that the machine of your choice comes equipped with some amount of
sound dampening.
Cycles
Basic wash cycles tend to remain consistent through most makes and models of washing machines. They
traditionally include Strong/ Heavy, Normal, Gentle/ Delicate, Speedy and Soak. Some of the more expensive
models offer additional specialty cycles, which can even handle delicate fabrics that you may have previously
taken to the dry cleaners.

ENGINES
Do you know what the first engine was like? It was called the “water wheel”. This was an ordinary wheel
with blades fixed to it, and the current of a river turned it. These first engines were used for irrigating fields.
