Those who live in a small space or only have to do laundry once a week can likely consider a model with between 2.5 and 4.5 cubic feet of space. The more space you have, the more laundry you can tackle at once, and the more flexibility you have to wash items like towels, comforters, or backpacks. The interior size of your washer's drum is measured in cubic feet and can range from as little as 2.5 cubic feet to nearly 6.0 cubic feet. A front-loading washer can require more maintenance to avoid mold and mildew, but a top-loading model doesn’t typically have a stackable design. From there, you’ll want to pick between a front-loading or top-loading design.

If you have a large family or are frequently washing bulky items like a comforter, then a high-capacity washer is the best option for you.

If your home doesn’t have a dedicated laundry room, you should consider a stackable, all-in-one, or portable model that will save space and potentially fit in a closet.

The best type of washing machine for your household is determined by the layout of your living space, your lifestyle, and your preferences. Installation requirements are also of prime importance, as are the costs of the appliance, including both the purchase cost and the cost of operating the washer over its lifetime.

Given the range of models, styles, and sizes of washers available, there are many things to consider when shopping for a washer to ensure your choice will be adequate for your family’s needs.
