What is the best washing machine?

A white washing machine with a round glass door filled with mixed color clothes, including blue, orange, and black.

When choosing a washing machine, there are a few features to keep in mind. One is the noise level while spinning (typically around 74 decibels). Also important is energy consumption, which you can check on the label. The drum capacity tells you how much laundry it can handle: families usually need 9 kg or more, while smaller households can manage with 8 kg or less. Modern models also include smart (AI) functions that calculate the exact amount of water and detergent needed.
