What to look for in a compact washer

1. Load Capacity

Consider the size of your typical laundry load. Compact washers can range in capacity from 1.8 to 2.5 cubic feet. Larger families or those who do laundry less frequently may want a larger capacity.

2. Efficiency

Energy and water efficiency can help save on utility bills and reduce environmental impact. Look for models with Energy Star ratings.

3. Features

Additional features such as delay start, extra rinse, or steam clean can provide convenience and enhanced cleaning power.

4. Installation Requirements

Ensure that the washer fits in your available space, and check if it requires a vented or ventless setup. Some compact washers can be stacked with their matching dryer to save even more space.
