If you are what you use to wash your clothes then I’m fast, easy and gentle.
Don’t you love when something is easy and not a big deal? What if that something was the laundry? When I think about washing my clothes, “easy”, “fast” and “gentle” are not words that I would usually use. “Tiresome”, “drudgery”, “Sisyphean task” and “not hot girl business” are the words I use.
If you’re here looking for a solution then you’ve come to the right place! Westinghouse’s new laundry appliances are an all new addition to Bi-Rite’s laundry line up, and if you’re Team Top Loader you’ll be frothing at this one.
Start with the aesthetic
The Westinghouse 8kg Top Load Washer has a classic white finish on the outside with a black glass soft-closing lid. The fascia (fancy name for the control panelly bits at the top) is a matte finish and feels like quality in the hands.
I feel like this black and white aesthetic could match a range of decors, if you like the ultra-modern or industrial style of decorating then this one will fit for sure. If your decor is Hamptons/colonial style then this probably won’t fit unless you have black fixtures in the laundry too. If there’s no black at all in your decor then bring a picture of your laundry room when you come to check the washer out in store.
Basically, when weighing up the features, consider the look to be a feature as well and decide which features are the most important.
