Maytag MHWE200XW

The WET3300XQ has average wash performance and isn't very efficient, but it'll fit in a small home.

Performance has its price.

The Fisher & Paykel AquaSmart WL42T26DW1: a high-end washer with excellent stain removal performance.

The Whirlpool Duet WFW9151YW is a mid-range washer with good stain removal performance and well-chosen customizable cycles.

If you can find it on sale for $629, the Samsung WF210ANW is a good buy.

The {{product.name}} has solid performance where it counts -- on the Normal cycle -- and is packed with enough features for all but the most discriminating launderer. There are better washers out there than this Maytag, but most of them cost a lot more.

The Frigidaire FRFW3700LW is far from fancy, but it gets the job done for a lot less money than the competition.

The Bosch WFVC6450UC has a high-end fit and finish, uses very little energy and did a great job lifting stains on most cycles. However, it also struggled to remove debris and clean delicates.

The Frigidaire Affinity FASE7073LA has some high-end features for a mid-range price, but our testing showed that sometimes you get what you pay for. Though the allergen and sanitary cycles disappointed, the washer was quick to get clothes clean and did a solid job on everyday cycles. You can find this washer online for around $600, which makes it a great value.

At $699 from Amana, the NFW7300WW is a spartan washer that does a good job getting clothes clean. If you don't mind that it has only three cycles and no customizable options to speak of aside from temperature, it may be a good fit for you. Just remember that better washers with more features sell for less.

The Frigidaire Affinity FAFW3801LW is one of the least expensive front-loading washers on the market.
