Consumer reports the top rated washing machines 2009 but have you stopped to find out what makes them ideal? You see, in the washing machine market, you can find one good brand for every 5 machines you scrutinize.

I am not saying it is easy to spot the best one. It is just that the washing market has suddenly become more competent due to the intense competition. More companies are now making new innovations with their products to create a machine integrated with spiffy features.

LG Washing Machines

2009 is undoubtedly, another great year for LG washing machines. It seems like when it comes to washing machines, they call the shots or they set the trend. However, one of the best features of this brand is the direct drive drum technology.

Many consumers complain of a noisy washing machine and LG sought out a solution to this problem. The came up with direct drive drum technology. This type of drum works in a hush-soft way. This is because when the drum is spinning, there are less parts moving inside the washer so it does not create a lot of noise.

Maytag Washers

Maytag still occupies a large place in the heart of many consumers despite their numerous misses over the past few years. However, their performance series really brings a lot to the table which is why its ratings are steadily rising.

Just like LG, they have also incorporated new features such as smooth balance suspension system. This allows the machine to have more quiet features. Fewer parts are also moving as a result of the competent suspension system it has.

You can find that most of the best rated ones are front loaders. Consumers are becoming a little hesitant in buying top load washers because of the general knowledge that front load washers are more energy efficient. This is why most of those at the top list of washers are front load washing machines.

We should not underestimate top loaders though because they are slowly catching up with front loaders. Recently, more and more high efficiency top loaders are being introduced in the market. They mimic the core functions of a front load machine because it eliminates the use for an agitator. It is replaced with a washer plate found at the bottom of the machine. This facilitates the spinning action of the drum which is otherwise facilitated by the agitator in previous models of top load washers.

And because the agitator is now missing, there is much more space inside the tub for your clothes. Also, you can now wash delicate fabrics. You won’t have to worry that the machine will damage the fibers of your clothes.

Like the best part of high efficiency top load machines is that it consumes less water and energy so you are pretty much saving more on this. This should also be included in top rated washing machines 2009. Maybe in the near future, it will occupy a bigger space in the market.
