Space - always accurately quantum the space you have and compare it to the machines dimensions taking into list either its front or top loading and making sure ample room for opening and windup the appliance is available. If you have abundance of space you can get matching isolate washer and dryer machines or if space is more little a blend washer dryer is a good option. In apartments or small homes where space is a qoute you could get a conveyable motor these are smaller machines on castors that can be stored in cupboards till needed and wheeled into position when required. Vertical stacked one piece blend units that can fit in cupboard type spaces are also ready and are permanently plumbed in.

A to G Ratings - Take A as very good and G as very bad in the following categories that give you a comparison of features on all machines. These are independent findings and not written by the manufacturers.
Energy Efficiency - Todays electricity, gas and water rates are persisting to increase so cutting down on all of these is important for both your financial position and the environment. An A rated motor is the most frugal option but can be more expensive to buy but take into list what you will save in running cost's and you should find that the extra cost will be justified by the estimate you will save on your bills.
Washing performance - Gives a comparison as to how well a motor in effect washes clothes although all machines can do a very good job on long cycles.
Spin performance - The higher the rating the more water thats extracted from the clothes although sometimes an A is not so good. To get an A the spin speed must be high 1400 to 1600 rpm and a motor must be mechanically sound to achieve this on a regular basis. Therefore a cheap motor with an A may not last long at such a high spin speed and soon start to get noisy and vibrate excessively as the bearings wear out.
