The washing machine is the Whirlpool brand’s first claim to fame and the reason for the Whirlpool name. Since 1911, Whirlpool has been making laundry day easier and maybe even enjoyable. Whirlpool machines offer durability, size options, numerous useful features and a wide range of price point options.

When it comes to choosing the best washing machine, start with dimensions and capacity. Measure your space. Washing machines vibrate during spin cycles, even if you choose a washing machine with vibration reduction. So, allow for space around the machine. You also want to make sure the machine has the capacity to support the amount of laundry you do regularly.

From there, you need to decide whether you want a front-load Whirlpool washing machine or a top-load Whirlpool washing machine. A front-loading washer is highly water efficient, and thanks to the front access, it is easy to stack with a Whirlpool dryer. If you are shopping for a stackable washer, make sure it is compatible with your Whirlpool stackable dryer. Meanwhile, a top-loading washer can achieve higher load capacities and allows you to add clothes even if the cycle has started.

To get your new Whirlpool washing machine up and running, you need to connect a washer hose to your water supply. If you need a washer, you can shop for one amongst washer and dryer accessories. If you want the easiest washer installation, set up an appointment with Best Buy’s professional appliance delivery and installation team. If you need, you can also set up an appointment to have your old appliance hauled away with electronics, appliances and e-waste recycling.

If you have a stackable washer and dryer from Whirlpool, you will want a Whirlpool stacking kit to stabilize your machines. For a standalone washer, you might want to raise the washing machine by putting it on a Whirlpool pedestal. A laundry machine pedestal can provide storage space and make it easier to load a front-load washer without having to bend over too far.

To make sure that your new machine is the best Whirlpool washing machine for years to come, keep up with the recommended maintenance and cleaning. Run washer cleaning cycles to prevent mold or mildew and, if your washing machine has a filter, clear it regularly.
