Types of Washing Machines 

There are many washing machine types available, with each designed to suit a range of different households, spaces, and laundry needs. From front load washing machines to top load washing machines, washer dryer combos and more – understanding the key benefits of each type of washing machine will help you to choose the best washing machine for your home. 

 

Front Load Washing Machines 

Indicated by their front facing door, a front load washing machine operates with a horizontal drum which rotates to wash, rinse and spin clothes. This means that Front Load Washing Machines are generally more energy and water efficient compared to top load washing machines, and they’re a great choice for smaller laundries since it can be installed under a bench or have a dryer stacked on top of it. 

  

  • Top Load Washing Machines 

Traditionally designed with an upright wash drum and a centre agitator which rotates to move and wash clothes, Top Load Washing Machines often feature a large capacity to fit more garments and they’re generally more affordable than Front Load Washing Machines. Many Top Load Washing Machines now feature an upright wash drum with no agitator, delivering effective and quieter washes that are gently on garments. 

  

  • Washer Dryer Combos 

Perfect for smaller laundries, studios and apartments, a Washer Dryer Combo is a 2-in-1 appliance with both washing and drying functions. This means it delivers space-saving capacity, allowing you to complete a full laundry cycle without switching machines. Delivering laundry convenience, Washer Dryer Combos let you wash and dry in one cycle. It’s worth noting that the capacity of washing and drying will differ in a Washer Dryer Combo, since drying requires more drum space for air circulation; for example, a Washer Dryer Combo with a 9kg washing capacity may only have a 5kg drying capacity. 

 

 

  • Twin Tub Washers 

Twin tub washing machines feature two compartments; one for washing and one for rinsing and spinning. This means that while clothes need to be moved manually between tubs, these machines are highly water efficient as the wash waster can be reused across multiple loads. For instance, washing a load of whites, then spinning it in the second tub while a new load of jeans gets washed in the first tub with the reused water. 

 

How to Choose the Best Washing Machine for your Laundry 

Finding the perfect washing machine starts with understanding your household’s needs. A large-capacity model may suit a busy family, while compact machines are ideal for smaller spaces. At Betta, you’ll discover a wide range of options designed to make laundry more convenient, efficient, and tailored to your lifestyle. 

 

Factors to Consider When Buying a Washing Machine 

When comparing models, it helps to look beyond the basics. This includes factors like load capacity, energy and water efficiency, cycle speed, noise levels, and smart connectivity can all influence the performance and running costs of your load. Take a look at some of the most important factors to consider during this process: 

 

Washing Machine Capacity 

The capacity of your washing machine is one of the most important considerations. It determines how many clothes you can wash in a single load, which will vary based on your lifestyle and household needs. Check out the table below to determine what capacity and washing machine size would be suit your needs. 

 

Washing Capacity (kg) 

Household Size 

Up to 6kg 

Single or couples 

7-8kg 

Small family 

9-10kg 

Medium family 

10kg+ 

Large family 

 

Washing Machine Efficiency 

Every washing machine comes with an energy and water efficiency rating (WELS), which shows how much power and water the appliance uses. These ratings are displayed as stars, in which the more stars means the more efficient the machine. While capacity can influence efficiency, many modern models also include smart features like ‘Eco’ or ‘Energy Saving’ modes to further reduce consumption. If lowering your household’s running costs and environmental impact is a priority, checking the WELS star rating should be at the top of your list. 

 

 

Smart Control 

Smart washing machines are the best way to take the hassle out of any laundry day. These Wi-Fi enabled washing machines can be connected to your home network, allowing you to control, monitor and manage your wash straight from an app on any compatible smartphone or via smart home assistants such as Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. 

 

This means with smart control, you can customise your wash cycles, schedule loads and start or stop your machine anytime, anywhere. So, if you’ve got a busy lifestyle or routine, choosing a smart washing machine can help you stay on top of every laundry load, stress-free. 

 

Choose the Best Functional Settings for an Efficient Washing Machine 

Beyond the basic considerations of capacity, efficiency and load type, many washing machines offer a wide range of features that can make laundry day feel effortless and far more efficient. These include: 

 

  • Steam Refresh – Designed for refreshing and removing odours, Steam Refresh functions use high temperatures and steam to revitalise your garments whilst also eliminating creases and kills harmful bacteria and odours. 
  • AutoDose - This feature automatically dispenses the right amount of detergent for each load, reducing waste and residue while delivering consistent results. Available across a range of brands including AEG, Fisher & Paykel, Electrolux, and Beko. 
  • Add Items/Pause - Enjoy greater freedom and add more items to your wash after it has started with 'Pause' and 'Add Item' functions. A 'Pause' function will typically let you halt the washing cycle whereas an 'Add Item' function completely stops the wash cycle so that you can add any last-minute items. 
  • Single Wash – Ideal for small loads, this feature allows you to wash a very small load of one or two items. Depending on the washing machine, a 'Single Wash' may mean up to a certain amount of clothes, indicated by the dry load's weight, for example up to 1kg. 
  • Auto-Sensing – With built in sensors, these washing machines will adjust the conditions of your cycle including water, energy, and wash time based on the weight and soil level of your load, to achieve maximum efficiency.  
  • Hygiene/Allergy - Using high temperatures and steam, this function helps to remove allergens, bacteria, and viruses from your load making it a perfect choice for baby clothes, asthma sufferers or during heavy sick seasons. 
  • Anti-Crease – With extra tumbling at the end of the cycle, this feature helps to reduce the common creases and wrinkles that occur after a load.

Frequently asked questions
Which type of washing machine should I buy?

The best washing machine should effectively meet your household’s laundry needs. When buying a washing machine, consider the number of people in your household and the washing machine’s capacity, the number of functions available against the types of garments you wear as well as your laundry’s space and configuration.
What is the best washing machine?

Washing machines are not a one-size-fits-all solution. The perfect washing machine will be fit for your purpose, with extra features and functions a bonus. If a quality washing machine is whatyou’reafter, top considerations to look out for include smart control, compatibility with dryers as well as greater energy and water efficiency.
What is better, a Top Load or Front Load washing machine?

Toploadwashingmachines often feature a lower price point with a larger washing capacity, however they require lot of space above to accommodate for the top opening door andthey’renot as energy or water efficient compared tofrontloadwashingmachines. Despite its higher price point,frontloadwashing Machines are typically more efficient thantoploadwashingmachines, andthey’remore suitable for smaller laundries, with the ability for stacking with dryers or placement under a benchtop.
Are Washer Dryer Combos worth it?

Washer dryer combos are the perfect laundry solution for smaller homes such as apartments, granny flats and tiny homes. With their 2-in-1 function of washing and drying in the same unit, washer dryer combos are designed for those with limited laundry spaces as well as households that don’t require regular drying of garments.
What time should I run my washing machine?

Running your washing machine during off-peak energy usage times will be best to ensure efficient results. Avoid peak periods of 2pm – 8pm, meaning washing anywhere between 7am to 2pm and 8pm to 10pm will be ideal. High energy usage times in your home, such as when dinner’s cooking in the oven or the kids are watching TV are also not ideal washing times.
