(BPT) - With so many options available for household appliances today, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. But when it comes to an everyday workhorse like your washing machine, you'll want to consider how its design most benefits you and your family, how you do your chores and what you need most when it comes to performance, ease of use, convenience and capacity, among other features. The model you select can make all the difference.
Here are the five top things to consider when choosing your next washer.
1. Don't fear heavy-duty loads
Does the washer deliver powerful cleaning that's both effective and efficient? With the WT8600CW 5.5 cu. ft. Mega Capacity Top Load Washer with TurboWash™ Washer with Steam, ezDispense®, Wi-Fi Connectivity from LG Electronics, for example, you'll experience powerful cleaning performance combined with user-friendly features.
Whether they're handling everyday laundry or heavy-duty loads, LG's top loading washers offer efficient cleaning with TurboWash3D™ technology, which uses a powerful jet spray plus a tub and motor that rotate independently and in opposite directions, creating a powerful water flow that causes garments to rub against each other throughout the cycle for enhanced washing performance. This feature is ideal for busy households seeking efficiency without compromising on cleanliness.

2. No sock left behind
Have you ever struggled to reach items at the bottom of the tub? Struggle no more. LG's Mega Capacity Top Load Washer is designed to put everything within easy reach, without sacrificing capacity. Its EasyUnload™ angled washer front offers more comfortable, ergonomic reach that lets you lean in and grab every last sock, without sacrificing capacity. There's also no need to dig out detergent and fabric softener when the ezDispense® Automatic Dispenser cleans up to 25 loads with 1 easy fill.
Even better, this model has a convenient SlamProof™ Glass Lid that automatically (and gently) closes every time, and can even firmly hold itself at certain angles, thanks to a smooth-operating hydraulic hinge. You'll also love its flat front design and sleek controls with LED or LCD display that make it easy to get laundry day dialed in, along with a modern design that elevates any laundry space.
3. Wash smarter, not harder
Having a washer with built-in intelligence means taking the guesswork out of every laundry load. Intuitive electronic controls and built-in intelligence make it easy to customize your wash, or let AI Wash do it for you.
Equipped with LG ThinQ® technology, washers like the LG Mega Capacity Top Load Washer let you control and monitor your laundry remotely via your smartphone or using voice commands with Alexa and Google voice assistants. You can receive notifications, start or stop cycles and download specialized wash programs to enhance your laundry experience.
ThinQ UP™ appliances evolve with you through continual software updates for new downloadable features and enhancements sent wirelessly to the appliance, and ThinQ Care™ helps keep your appliance running smoothly by sending proactive usage, maintenance and diagnostic alerts to your smartphone.
4. No sink? No worries
Don't let stains put you on the spot. If you need to treat stains quickly, don't panic if you don't have a sink right there. The LG Mega Capacity Top Load Washer model offers a convenient Water Faucet option you'll wonder how you lived without. Just press the Faucet pad to turn on water in the tub while you treat and scrub. When you're done, simply close the lid or press Faucet again, and the water will automatically drain.
5. Save time with fewer loads
Face it: Busy families need more capacity for washing. LG's top-load washers can handle large loads, with capacities up to 5.5 cubic feet. Bigger loads mean reducing the number of cycles needed to be done, saving time for what matters most. This is perfect for busy families, or anyone looking to avoid being glued to the washer on laundry days.
