Top load or front load washing machine, which type is best?
Choosing between a top load and front load washing machine depends on your lifestyle, needs, and budget. Front loader washing machines have been gaining popularity in laundries across Australia in recent years due to their compact size and high spin speeds, which result in better water extraction and reduced drying times. Plus, they wash clothes gently and efficiently while using less water and laundry detergent.
Cost-effective and reliable, top loader washing machines from the likes of Speed Queen and Whirlpool are a great option that offers easy access, the ability to add clothes mid-cycle, and fast spin speeds. We also have a wide selection of washer and dryer combos, which save space in laundry rooms and eliminate loading and unloading between functions. If you’re looking to upgrade all your laundry appliances at once, shop smarter and check out our range of washer dryer packages.
You'll find all types of washing machines from leading brands such as ASKO, Hisense, AEG, and Westinghouse in-store and online at Harvey Norman.
What size washing machine do I need?
When buying a new washing machine, size is one of the first things you need to consider. This refers to the internal drum capacity, which is measured in kgs, as well as the dimensions of the machine. To find the right fit for your needs, consider the size of your household and the number of loads of washing you generally do per week. Usually ranging from 8kg to 10kg, medium-sized washing machines are a good choice for couples or families of 3. Large washing machines have a capacity of 11kg or 12kg and are a better option for households of more than 4 people.
What should I look for when buying a washing machine?
