Washing machines and washer dryers

Electrolux Philippines offers a wide range of washing machines from top load to front load washers designed to provide efficiency and productivity. 
The washing machine is a very important device in our homes. It allows us to conveniently keep our clothes clean and save time. Additionally, the washing machine can streamline laundry processes, making it easier and more convenient.

When choosing a washing machine for your laundry room, there are three main factors to consider: Size and capacity, type and features you might need.

Washing machine capacity guide

There are two terms related to capacity that you might need to know before choosing a new washing machine for your laundry room: Washing capacity and Load capacity.

While the washing capacity refers to the maximum amount of clothes (in kg) that can be washed in one cycle, load capacity is about how many pieces of clothing you can put in each cycle.

Example: Let’s say you have a 7kg washing machine. This means:

• In terms of washing capacity, it can hold up to 7kg of dry clothes in each cycle.
• In terms of load capacity, it can hold up to 20 pieces of clothing in each cycle.

Choose washing machine capacity by family size

Washing machine types

Washing machines come in different types based on the number of functions and the level of manual work involved. Discover some types of washing machines that Electrolux Philippines offers:

• Front-load washing machines: This type of washing machine has a lid for placing clothes in front of the machine. It's suitable for washing large pieces of laundry.
• Top-load washing machines: They are usually more economical than front-load washing machines, but they can sometimes damage fabric if overloaded. Here is a comparison article regarding the differences between front-load and top-load washing machines for your further information.
• Washer dryers (washing machine with dryer): It combines two machines into one, thus saving space and the cost of purchasing a separate washing machine.
• Twin-tub washing machines: These appliances have two separate tubs for washing and spin-drying, and you need to manually move your laundry from one to the other.
