"Top load washers are the traditional style, where you load clothes from the top. They have either an agitator or an impeller to move the clothes through water and detergent. These machines are great for their convenience—easier to load and unload, especially if you have trouble bending over. They generally complete cycles faster, but they tend to use more water and energy compared to front load machines. "A wash dry combo machine is an all-in-one unit that washes and dries clothes. It’s perfect for small spaces where you can't fit both a washer and a dryer. However, the drying process in these machines, often using a ventless system, can take longer compared to traditional dryers. They're convenient, but might not dry large loads as efficiently as separate units."

But just how often should we be cleaning our dishwashers? According to Glenn Lewis, president of Mr. Appliance, “A good rule of thumb is once a month. If you don’t use it that often, it keeps the water in the sump [the part that pumps water into the drain hose] fresh. If you use it a lot, you might consider twice a month just so there’s no build-up."

When should you repair your washing machine? The exact answer to when it makes sense to repair your washing machine varies from situation to situation. “The first thing to ask yourself is, do you like the machine, and does it do what you need it to do?” says Glenn Lewis, president of Mr. Appliance, a Neighborly company. “If the answer to those two questions is yes, then it’s worth having a service professional do a complete diagnostic on your washer.”
