Good Housekeeping Noah Pinsonnault · reviewer · Jul 2026 Our best overall washer is the LG Front Load HE Stackable Smart Washer. It earned its spot, thanks to its great soil removal ability, how quickly it washes, and its user-friendly interface. If you're looking for a less expensive model, the Whirlpool Smart Front Load Washer with FreshFlow was also impressive. It cleaned well in our tests, was easy to use, and has helpful extras like a cycle for drying the drum. Read on to find the best washing machines you can buy right now, based on our latest testing.Read A
