How to Buy a Washing Machine for Your Home

10. Size and dimensions  

Most washing machines are similar in size, but the dimensions can vary slightly depending on the model. If you’re fitting your washing machine into a restricted space, make sure you pick one that’s an adequate size with space to vent. Having space around your washing machine can minimize noise as well.  

You should also consider whether you will have enough room above or in front of the machine to fully open the door. The last thing you want is a shelf blocking you from loading the laundry.
