A washing machine is a common household appliance used to wash laundry. Washing machines come in a variety of types and sizes, and can be either top-loading or front-loading. Top-loading washing machines have a lid on the top of the machine that opens to allow the user to add and remove laundry. Front-loading washing machines have a door on the front of the machine that opens to allow the user to add and remove laundry.
Most washing machines have a variety of settings that allow the user to customize the wash cycle to the type of laundry being washed. These settings typically include the water temperature, the spin speed, and the type of detergent to be used. Some washing machines also have special features, such as a sanitize cycle or a steam cycle.
