Nowadays, there are two types of washing machines. This classification depends on the place were clothes are introduced: top-loading or front-loading washing machines. Top-loading machines are frequently found in the United States, Canada, Australia and many African and Asiatic countries. They are tighter, which means that they occupy less space. They are perfect to use when you have space problems. The front-loading machines are found in Europe and they are more popular ones. Both of them have the same capacity to load clothes and the same functions.

There are also different types of washing machines according to use and frequency of use. There are industrial washing machines -with more capacity- and machines for home use. There are some washing machines with complex services that include the temperature of the drying water. They are ideal for people who live alone. There are also washing machines which include minimum processes and they are cheaper. It all depends on the needs and user's choices.

Finally, we can find automatic and semiautomatic washing machines. The difference is the number of elements that you have to bear in mind to wash clothes. This classification has to do with the user's dedication when washing.
