Frigidaire FRFW3700LW

At a little over $579 on sale, the GE GTWN4450MWS is the highest-end traditional washer you can buy. For that you get few controls, uneven performance and a big, giant agitator sticking through the middle of the drum.

Fisher & Paykel's entry-level washer has a unique design, but poor performance.

The HLP23E is a portable washer with performance on par with some full-size machines.

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 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.
