Washing Machines

Washing performance

This reflects the degree of color change to swatches of fabric that were included in an 8-pound test load of mixed cotton items using the machines' most aggressive normal cycle. (We do not use special cycle or option buttons.)

Energy efficiency

Indicates the energy needed to heat the water, run the washer, and remove the water left in the clothes after the spin cycle completes.

Water efficiency

This score denotes how much water it took to wash our 8-pound load. On models that didn't set the fill level automatically, we used the lowest fill setting that sufficed for the 8-pound load. We then calculated water used per pound of clothing.

Gentleness

Models that earned lower scores for gentleness are more likely to treat your clothes roughly, causing wear and tear.
