WHIRLPOOL TOP LOAD WASHER WHITE 15 KG | 1CWTW4815EW

A load of laundry can become unbalanced in any type of washer, but each one handles it differently.

When the clothes inside an 15 kg top-load washer get out of balance, as sometimes happens in our tests, the machine will attempt to rebalance the load by adding more water to improve the circulation and even things out.

It’ll try this multiple times, but if it doesn’t work, you’ll get an error message alerting you to manually rebalance the load.

The owner’s manual should tell you how to do this. Manufacturers often warn not to wash waterproof items in an 15 kg  top-load washer , because this increases the chance of the load becoming unbalanced.

Others suggest using a lower spin speed. So if you frequently wash waterproof jackets or other items, check the washer manufacturer’s website before choosing a model.

Front-load washers can be pricey and water-guzzling agitator models can get tight on space.

High-efficiency top-load washing machines are a good compromise if price, water efficiency, and load size matter most to you.

Top-loaders don’t have a center-post agitator like traditional top-load machines but instead use a rotating mechanism called an impeller at the bottom to get clothes clean.

They’re generally more expensive than agitators, but you save money long-term because they use less water and help save energy by spinning clothes really dry at the end of a cycle.
