<h2><a id="common"></a>Common Cooktop Issues</h2>
<p>The first step in any repair or replacement project is to diagnose the issue. Here are a few common problems you may experience as your cooktop ages.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>You have an unstable electrical connection. </strong>This can prevent your electric or induction stovetops from turning on and heating reliably.</li>
<li><strong>Your cookware is incompatible. </strong>This is a common issue with homeowners <a href="https://www.mrappliance.com/blog/induction-cooktop-problems/" target="_blank">using induction for the first time</a>.</li>
<li><strong>The heating elements are cracked or damaged. </strong>If you handle your cookware violently, you could damage the heating surface.&nbsp;</li>
<li><strong>The ignition doesn&rsquo;t work. </strong>This can make <a href="https://simcogroup.com.au/blog/post/common-gas-cooktop-issues-and-how-to-solve-them/" target="_blank">turning on a gas cooktop</a> frustrating or impossible.</li>
<li><strong>The burners weaken or turn off unexpectedly. </strong>This can occur with any type of stove and is caused by a variety of issues. There could be electrical damage or fuel source problems for gas stoves.</li>
<li><strong>The cooktop is slow. </strong>As stoves age, they may take longer to heat up because they are wearing out.</li>
<li><strong>Your stovetop makes new and unfamiliar noises. </strong>Something could fall out of place, causing an unwanted tapping, clicking, or humming. Your stove might also get louder suddenly.</li>
</ul>
<p>Keep in mind that there may be more than one issue preventing your cooktop from working. Just because you fix one problem doesn&rsquo;t mean another needs to be addressed.</p>
<h2><a id="cost"></a>What is the Average Cost of Cooktop Repair?</h2>
<p>The next step after diagnosing the issue is to estimate what it could cost to fix it. As of 2024, the average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-kitchen-appliance-repairs-cost.htm" target="_blank">cost of cooktop repair is $178</a>. On the low end, you could pay between $50 to $100 to get your cooktop working again. On the high end, you could pay nearly $400 to address the issue.</p>
<p>Several factors contribute to appliance service costs. The first is the issue itself. Minor problems that are easy to address will be cheaper to fix than major issues. The next factor is the brand and model of the appliance. Higher-end brands typically come with larger repair bills. Additionally, the cost of gas cooktop repair and electric cooktop repair may differ depending on who is working on your appliance.</p>
<p>The final factor is your geographic region. Cooktop repair is more expensive in some parts of the country because of the higher cost of living. This means you will pay more for hourly repair rates.</p>
<p>Get an estimate for what your cooktop repair bill will be so you can decide whether fixing the stove or replacing it is the better option.</p>
<h2><a id="repairreplace"></a>Should You Repair or Replace a Broken Cooktop</h2>
<p>The final step is to decide whether you should invest in cooktop repair or if <a href="https://www.tonysappliance.com/catalog/cooktops" target="_blank">replacing your stove</a> is the better financial decision. Evaluate your repair estimate against the cost of replacing your stove. For example, if a repair technician says it will cost $200 to fix your cooktop and you expect to spend $1,000 to replace it, you could put that $200 into a new model instead.</p>
<p>Replacing your cooktop could also be a better option if you have an aging appliance. It could break again in the future, leaving you with another repair bill. You don&rsquo;t want to keep putting money into repairing an aging appliance that will just need more work.</p>
<p>Another factor to consider is the value of your current cooktop. If you paid $1,000 for your cooktop five years ago, it will have depreciated significantly. It also could be at the halfway point in its lifespan. You don&rsquo;t want to put a lot of money into cooktop parts and repair services to maintain a stove that has lost a lot of its value.</p>
<p>When deciding <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/repair-or-replace-cooktop.htm" target="_blank">whether repair or replacement is better</a>, consider the value and lifespan of your current appliance. You may decide that starting fresh with a new model is a better investment than paying to keep an aging appliance alive.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<h2><a id="top"></a>4 Top Cooktops To Replace Your Broken Appliance</h2>
<p>If you decide that replacing your cooktop is the right decision, invest in a quality appliance that will last for several years. Here are a few tried-and-tested cooktops that will keep up with your cooking needs.</p>
<h3>GE&reg; 30" Stainless Steel Built-In Gas Cooktop</h3>
<p><img alt="GE 30in Built In Gas Cooktop" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/ge-30in-stainless-steel-built-in-gas-cooktop.webp?w=400" title="GE Gas Cooktop" /></p>

<p>Upgrade to a modern gas cooktop that has more features and cooking space than ever. This model is only 30 inches wide but has five burners to work off of. The largest burner fires up to 15,000 BTU for rapid boiling or searing meat. The knobs on this <a href="https://www.tonysappliance.com/blog/ge-gas-range-five-top-models-reviewed" target="_blank">gas cooktop</a> are strategically placed at the front so you don&rsquo;t have to reach over a hot surface to adjust your power levels.</p>

<p>Consider this appliance if you want a little extra cooking space in your kitchen. At 36 inches wide, you have ample room for your pots and pans. The knobs have LED backlighting so you can easily see which burners are on. Caf&eacute; allows you to customize your hardware, so you can choose from six different finishes that perfectly complement your kitchen.&nbsp;</p>
<p>We thought this review was helpful, &ldquo;Caf&eacute; has always been reliable. The burners work great, the different size burners are convenient, for a cooktop it is heavy duty, and the gas lock button is a great safety feature.&rdquo;</p>

<p>This is a leading electric cooktop that changes how you think about cooking. The control knobs are built along the right-hand side, tapping into the natural ergonomics of the body. There are four total heating elements, including two that reach 2,500 watts for rapid boiling. The hot surface indicator light on this <a href="https://www.tonysappliance.com/blog/six-best-electric-stoves-of-the-year" target="_blank">electric stove</a> is a valuable safety feature that can prevent you from burning your hands or your food.</p>

<h2><a id="faq"></a>FAQ</h2>
<h3>What is the life expectancy of a cooktop?</h3>
<p>The average cooktop is designed to last between 10 to 15 years. However, this lifespan depends on the brand, maintenance, and usage of the appliance. If you buy a cooktop from a trusted brand and it is well-cared for, it could last up to 20 years.</p>
<h3>When should I replace my cooktop?</h3>
<p>Kitchen appliances depreciate over time, which means there is less value in repairing old cooktops. Consider replacing your cooktop if it is more than five years old or the cost or repairing it exceeds its value. You don&rsquo;t want to keep putting money into a cooktop that isn&rsquo;t worth much.</p>

<h2><a id="sizes"></a>Understanding Standard Dishwasher Sizes</h2>
<p><img alt="Placing Dishes in Dishwasher" height="333" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Dishwasher-tips-header.jpg?w=500" title="Filling a Dishwasher with Dirty Dishes" width="500" /></p>
<p>Shopping for a new dishwasher? One of the first steps is knowing what size will actually fit your space&mdash;and your lifestyle. Whether you&rsquo;re upgrading your kitchen or replacing an older model, getting familiar with standard dishwasher dimensions is key to a smooth installation.</p>
<h3>Full-Size, Compact, and Custom Panel-Ready Options</h3>
<p>Most dishwashers fall into one of three main size categories. A full-size dishwasher typically measures around 24 inches wide, 24 inches deep, and 35 inches high, making it ideal for families or anyone who runs frequent loads. Compact dishwashers are usually about 18 inches wide and work well in smaller kitchens, apartments, or as a secondary unit in a wet bar or guest area. If you&rsquo;re aiming for a sleek, built-in look, custom panel-ready dishwashers allow you to match the appliance with your cabinetry&mdash;though these often require more careful measurements and design coordination.</p>
<h3>Measuring Your Kitchen Space</h3>
<p>Before making any decisions, grab a tape measure and check the height, width, and depth of your current dishwasher opening. Don&rsquo;t forget to measure the space from the floor to the underside of your countertop, especially if you&rsquo;ve updated flooring since your last installation. Accurate dishwasher measurements will help you avoid the <a href="https://www.thespruce.com/dishwasher-buying-tips-1907656" target="_blank">frustration of buying</a> something that&rsquo;s just a hair too big&mdash;or too small.</p>
<h3>Depth and Clearance Considerations</h3>
<p>Even if the appliance itself fits, remember to allow for door clearance and space to load and unload comfortably. Some dishwashers have deeper interiors, so understanding dishwasher dimensions can help ensure you won&rsquo;t bump into cabinets or walls every time you open the door.</p>
<p>Getting the right fit isn&rsquo;t just about convenience&mdash;it can also save you from unnecessary installation headaches. So before you fall in love with a sleek stainless steel model or a top-of-the-line panel-ready design, double-check your kitchen layout and measurements to make sure it&rsquo;s a match.</p>

<p>Once you&rsquo;ve picked out the perfect dishwasher, the next step is making sure your kitchen is ready for it. Installing a dishwasher isn&rsquo;t just about sliding it into place&mdash;there are a few key requirements you&rsquo;ll want to keep in mind to avoid hiccups.</p>
<h3>1: Electrical, Plumbing, and Drainage Needs</h3>
<p>All dishwashers&mdash;whether it's a built in dishwasher or a panel ready dishwasher&mdash;require access to electricity, a water supply, and a proper drainage connection. Typically, you&rsquo;ll need a 120-volt outlet and a dedicated circuit. Most dishwashers also hook into your kitchen's hot water line and connect to the drain under your sink. If you're not sure what&rsquo;s behind your cabinets, it's a good idea to have a professional take a look before installation.</p>
<h3>2: Clearance for Doors and Loading</h3>
<p>Dishwashers may look compact, but you&rsquo;ll need to ensure there&rsquo;s enough space in front of the unit to fully open the door and load dishes comfortably. Plan for at least 27&ndash;30 inches of clearance in front of the appliance. Also, be mindful of adjacent cabinets or drawers that might block access when everything is open.</p>
<h3>3: Built-In vs. Portable Dishwashers</h3>
<p>Built in dishwashers are the most common and offer a sleek, integrated look. They&rsquo;re ideal for kitchens where space is already set aside beneath the countertop. A <a href="https://www.tonysappliance.com/catalog/dishwashers?custom_panel_ready=Yes" target="_blank">panel ready dishwasher</a> takes this a step further by blending into your cabinetry with a custom front panel. <a href="https://www.tonysappliance.com/catalog/portable-dishwasher" target="_blank">Portable dishwashers</a>, on the other hand, are great for smaller kitchens or rentals&mdash;they don&rsquo;t require permanent installation and can be rolled away when not in use. The trade-off? They typically offer less capacity and might take up floor space.</p>
<p>No matter which type you choose, ensuring your kitchen meets the basic installation requirements will make the setup process faster, easier, and stress-free.</p>

<h2><a id="choosing"></a>Choosing the Right Dishwasher for Your Kitchen</h2>
<p><img alt="Child Helping Empty Dishwasher" height="334" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/dishwasher-not-cleaning-well_clean-dishes.jpg?w=500" title="Helping Empty a Dishwasher" width="500" /></p>
<p><a href="https://www.popularmechanics.com/home/g35900013/best-dishwashers/" target="_blank">Picking the right dishwasher</a> isn&rsquo;t just about features&mdash;it&rsquo;s also about finding one that fits seamlessly into your kitchen&rsquo;s style and setup. With so many options available, it&rsquo;s worth taking a little time to think about how your new dishwasher will look and function in your space.</p>
<h3>Match Your Style with Your Layout</h3>
<p>Start by thinking about your kitchen&rsquo;s layout. Do you have a traditional setup with defined cabinet spaces, or an open-concept design where aesthetics are front and center? If you&rsquo;re remodeling or upgrading, look for models that match your cabinetry and flow naturally with your kitchen&rsquo;s traffic patterns. Compact or slim dishwashers are great for smaller kitchens, while full-size models suit households that run frequent loads.</p>
<h3>Design Tips for a Seamless Look</h3>
<p>When it <a href="https://www.thespruce.com/dishwasher-buying-tips-1907656" target="_blank">comes to style</a>, dishwashers have come a long way. Stainless steel finishes are still a fan favorite for a clean, modern look, but if you want something that blends in more, consider a panel-ready dishwasher that matches your cabinetry. It gives your kitchen a custom, built-in feel without compromising performance. For an appliance that looks as good as it works, visit a local dishwasher store like <a href="https://www.tonysappliance.com/contacts" target="_blank">Tony&rsquo;s Appliance</a>, where you can see different models in person.</p>
<h3>Know When to Bring in the Pros</h3>
<p>While it might be tempting to DIY the installation, dishwashers involve plumbing, electrical, and precision fitting. If you&rsquo;re not 100% confident, it&rsquo;s best to consult a professional. Not only will this ensure everything works correctly, but it&rsquo;ll also protect your kitchen from potential leaks or electrical issues down the line.</p>

<h2><a id="faq"></a>FAQ: The Complete Guide to Dishwasher Size and Installation Requirements</h2>
<p><img alt="Frequently Asked Questions" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/prosource_member_blogs/Frequently-Asked-Questions-Woman.jpg?w=500" title="FAQ Section" /></p>
<h4>What are the standard dishwasher dimensions?</h4>
<p>Most standard built-in dishwashers measure approximately 24 inches wide, 24 inches deep, and 34 to 35 inches high. Compact models are usually around 18 inches wide. Always check the specific measurements before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.</p>
<h4>How do I measure my kitchen space for a dishwasher?</h4>
<p>Use a tape measure to get the height, width, and depth of the cabinet opening where your dishwasher will go. Don&rsquo;t forget to account for door clearance and any plumbing or electrical hookups behind the unit. It's also helpful to leave a little extra space for ventilation.</p>
<h4>What&rsquo;s the difference between a built-in and a portable dishwasher?</h4>
<p>A built-in dishwasher is permanently installed under your countertop and connects directly to your home&rsquo;s plumbing. A portable dishwasher, on the other hand, can be moved and typically connects to your kitchen faucet. Built-ins offer a seamless look, while portables are ideal for small kitchens or renters.</p>
<h4>Are panel-ready dishwashers worth it?</h4>
<p>If you're aiming for a custom kitchen look, panel-ready dishwashers are a great option. They&rsquo;re designed to be fitted with a cabinet front that matches the rest of your kitchen, blending in with your cabinetry for a sleek, integrated appearance.</p>
<h4>Do I need a professional to install my dishwasher?</h4>
<p>While some handy homeowners may tackle installation themselves, it&rsquo;s usually best to hire a professional. Installing a dishwasher involves plumbing, electrical, and leveling requirements. A pro can ensure it&rsquo;s done safely and correctly, avoiding leaks or long-term issues.</p>

<h2><a id="understanding"></a>Understanding the Basics of Water Heater Replacement</h2>
<p><img alt="Water Heater Connected Throughout Home" height="521" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/ge-50-gallon-gray-electric-water-heater.webp?w=500" title="Water Heater Connections" width="500" /></p>
<p>If your hot showers are getting shorter or your utility room floor has suspicious puddles, it might be time to think about replacing a water heater. Most traditional units last around 8&ndash;12 years, and if yours is reaching that age&mdash;or showing signs like leaks, strange noises, or inconsistent hot water&mdash;it could be on its way out. Being proactive can save you from emergency repairs and unexpected cold water wake-up calls.</p>
<p>There are two main types of water heaters to consider: tank and tankless. Tank water heaters store a set amount of hot water and are great for larger households with high water use. On the other hand, tankless models heat water on demand and are known for their energy efficiency and space-saving design. The best option depends on your home&rsquo;s water needs and your long-term goals.</p>
<p>Don&rsquo;t forget that water heater size matters, too. A unit that&rsquo;s too small won&rsquo;t keep up, while an oversized one can waste energy. If you&rsquo;re not sure what fits your home best, a professional can help you choose the right model and capacity.</p>

<h2><a id="costs"></a>Breaking Down the Costs</h2>
<p><img alt="How Much Does it Cost" height="333" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/How-Much-Does-it-Cost.jpg?w=500" title="Cost and How Much" width="500" /></p>
<p>When it comes to replacing a hot water heater, knowing what to expect financially can make the process much smoother. On average, the cost of a new unit and professional installation ranges anywhere from $800 to $3,500, depending on a few key factors. For example, a standard 30 gal water heater might be more budget-friendly, while a 50 gallon gas hot water heater or 40 gallon gas hot water heater can cost more due to their larger capacity and fuel type.</p>
<p>Several elements impact the overall price. Unit size plays a big role&mdash;larger households need larger tanks, which come with a higher price tag. Energy efficiency also matters; models with higher efficiency ratings often cost more upfront but save you money on utility bills over time. The fuel type (gas vs. electric) and labor costs for installation will vary depending on your location and the complexity of the job.</p>
<p>Don&rsquo;t forget to factor in additional costs. You may need to pay for permits, removal of the old unit, and upgrades to plumbing or electrical systems if your new <a href="https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/mortgages/water-heater-cost" target="_blank">water heater</a> has different requirements. These extras can add a few hundred dollars to the final bill&mdash;but they&rsquo;re crucial for a safe and code-compliant installation. By understanding these costs ahead of time, you&rsquo;ll be better prepared to choose the right water heater for your home and budget.</p>

<h2><a id="investment"></a>Making a Smart Investment</h2>
<p><img alt="Professional Hand Shake" height="375" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/prosource_member_blogs/Professional-Hand-Shake.jpg?w=500" title="Hand Shake" width="500" /></p>
<p>Choosing the right water heater isn&rsquo;t just about getting hot water back quickly&mdash;it&rsquo;s about making a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-water-heater-installation-cost.htm" target="_blank">smart, long-term investment</a> for your home. Start by thinking about your household&rsquo;s hot water usage. Do you have a busy family with multiple bathrooms, or are you in a smaller household with lighter needs? A gas water heater might be best for high-demand homes, while an electric water heater could suit smaller spaces or homes without natural gas access.</p>
<p>Energy efficiency is another big factor to consider. While energy-efficient models may cost more upfront, they can significantly lower your monthly utility bills over time. Wondering how much does a hot water heater cost? Prices vary, but comparing the long-term operating costs&mdash;not just the sticker price&mdash;can help you see where real savings add up.</p>
<p>When it comes to installation, don&rsquo;t be afraid to shop around. Look for licensed professionals like at Tony&rsquo;s Appliance with solid local reviews, and get multiple quotes so you can compare <a href="https://www.tonysappliance.com/services" target="_blank">pricing and services</a>. A trusted installer can walk you through the entire process, help ensure proper sizing, and even assist with permit requirements.</p>
<p>Finally, take time to review warranty options and schedule regular maintenance to extend your water heater&rsquo;s lifespan. Most units last 8&ndash;12 years, but with proper care&mdash;and a good warranty&mdash;you can protect your investment and enjoy reliable hot water for years to come.</p>

                  Electric water heaters generally cost less upfront and are easier to install.

<h2><a id="understanding"></a>Understanding Stacked Washer Dryer Dimensions</h2>
<p><img alt="Tight Fit Stacked Washer and Dryer" height="334" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/colders-stacked-washer-dryer-2.jpg?w=500" title="Washer and Dryer in a Closet" width="500" /></p>
<p>If you're appliance shopping and considering a stacked washer and dryer, understanding the dimensions is a great place to start. Stacked laundry appliances are perfect for saving space, but it&rsquo;s important to make sure they&rsquo;ll fit your available area comfortably. Here&rsquo;s what to keep in mind:</p>
<h3>Typical Dimensions</h3>
<p>Most full-size stacked washer and dryer units measure around 27 inches wide, 30 to 34 inches deep, and 74 to 79 inches tall. These are ideal for laundry rooms with enough vertical clearance.</p>
<h3>Stackable Front Load Sets vs. All-in-One Towers</h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.tonysappliance.com/catalog/stackable-washers-and-dryers" target="_blank">Stackable Front Load Sets</a> consist of two separate appliances (a washer and a dryer) that can be stacked using a kit. These offer more flexibility and usually more features.</li>
<li>All-in-One Towers are pre-assembled as a single unit. They&rsquo;re simpler to install but may have fewer customization options.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Standard vs. Compact Models</h3>
<p>Compact models are great for smaller spaces like apartments or condos. These usually measure about 24 inches wide and 66 to 72 inches tall, with a shallower depth &mdash; perfect when every inch counts.</p>
<p>When browsing washers and dryers, keep these measurements in mind and always check the manufacturer's specs before buying. Getting the right size ensures your laundry appliances work efficiently without any installation headaches.</p>

<p><img alt="Measuring Tape" height="333" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/measuring-tape.jpg?w=500" title="Tape Measure" width="500" /></p>
<p>Before bringing home a new stacked washer and dryer, <a href="https://www.maytag.com/blog/washers-and-dryers/stackable-washer-and-dryer-dimensions.html" target="_blank">getting accurate measurements</a> is a must. Appliance sizes can vary, and a tight fit can lead to installation headaches&mdash;or worse, units that don&rsquo;t fit at all. Here&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.whirlpool.com/blog/washers-and-dryers/how-to-stack-a-washer-and-dryer.html" target="_blank">how to measure like a pro</a>:</p>
<h3>Measure the Height, Width, and Depth</h3>
<ul>
<li>Use a tape measure to check the height from floor to ceiling where the unit will go. Most stacked washer dryer dimensions range from 70 to 75 inches in height.</li>
<li>Measure the width&mdash;typically 27 inches for standard models&mdash;and the depth, which can range from 30 to 34 inches, depending on the unit.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Account for Ventilation and Airflow</h3>
<ul>
<li>Leave at least 1 inch on each side and at the top for proper air circulation.</li>
<li>If the unit is vented, ensure there&rsquo;s space behind for the exhaust hose&mdash;usually about 4&ndash;6 inches of clearance is needed.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Check Door Clearance and Accessibility</h3>
<ul>
<li>Ensure there&rsquo;s enough space for washer and dryer doors to open fully. This is especially important in tight spaces or if doors swing outward.</li>
<li>For closet installations, make sure the doors can close without touching the unit.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Plan for Extra Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>If you&rsquo;re considering pedestal drawers or stacking kits, factor those into your total height measurement.</li>
<li>Also allow for wall clearance if the washer or dryer needs to sit a few inches forward for proper hookup access.</li>
</ul>
<p>Taking the time to check these measurements carefully ensures your appliance fits comfortably and works efficiently in your space.</p>

<p><img alt="Woman Using a Stacked Washer and Dryer" height="301" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/Stacked-Washer-Dryer-Lifestyle.jpeg?w=500" title="Washer and Dryer In Use" width="500" /></p>
<p>Now that you&rsquo;ve measured your space, it&rsquo;s time to think about where your stacked washer and dryer will go&mdash;and what&rsquo;s needed to make the setup work seamlessly. Whether you're eyeing a GE or Samsung unit, or considering reliable brands like Whirlpool, LG, or Speed Queen, proper planning makes all the difference.</p>
<p><strong>Here are a few things to keep in mind:</strong></p>
<h3>Pick the Right Spot</h3>
<p>Ideal locations include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Closets or alcoves with louvered doors for airflow</li>
<li>Laundry rooms with dedicated plumbing and electrical</li>
<li>Apartments or condos with limited space but utility connections</li>
</ul>
<p>Make sure the floor is level and sturdy enough to support the unit&rsquo;s weight and vibrations.</p>
<h3>Know Your Utility Requirements</h3>
<ul>
<li>Most GE, Maytag, and Whirlpool models require a 240V outlet for the dryer and a standard 120V for the washer.</li>
<li>You&rsquo;ll need a hot and cold water line, a drain, and&mdash;unless it&rsquo;s ventless&mdash;an exterior vent.</li>
<li>Ventless options (like some Electrolux or LG models) are great for apartments or spaces without outdoor venting access.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Plan for Safe and Accessible Installation</h3>
<ul>
<li>Always use a stacking kit for stability&mdash;it&rsquo;s required by most manufacturers like Samsung and LG.</li>
<li>Ensure hookups are easy to reach in case you need to shut off water or power.</li>
<li>Leave enough clearance around the unit for proper airflow and future maintenance.</li>
</ul>
<p>A little prep goes a long way. Choosing a quality washer and dryer combo from brands like GE, Electrolux, or Maytag&mdash;and making sure your space is ready&mdash;will help ensure a smooth install and long-lasting performance.</p>

                  Leave at least 1 inch of space on each side, 4–6 inches at the back for ventilation and hookups, and about 1–2 inches above for airflow and accessibility. This ensures your appliances operate safely and efficiently.

                <p class="dsg-block-44__text">
                  Yes, many stacked units are designed to fit in compact spaces like closets or utility nooks. Be sure to measure the height, width, and depth of the space, and check that doors can open fully and that vents and water lines are accessible.

                <p class="dsg-block-44__text">
                  While installation is similar to standard units, stacked combos often require secure stacking kits, proper venting, and sometimes reinforced flooring. It’s best to have a professional handle the install to ensure everything is level and safely connected.

How to Measure for Stacked Washer Dryer: Dimensions Planning Guide

Choosing the best top load washer for your laundry needs is more difficult than you think. In this article, we'll help simplify things and take a look at our five favorite models.

<h2>What Are the Best Top Load Washers and How Do They Work?&nbsp;</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.tonysappliance.com/catalog/top-load-washers" target="_blank">Top load washers</a> have been around for many years and are still a popular choice for consumers. They are easy to use and many people prefer them because they require less upkeep.</p>
<p>Top load washers are laundry machines that use a vertical <a href="https://www.whirlpool.com/blog/washers-and-dryers/impeller-vs-agitator.html" target="_blank">agitator</a> to clean clothes. The agitator is located in the top of the machine and it helps to move the clothes around while they are being washed. Top load washers remain popular because they are affordable and easy to use. They also come in a variety of sizes, so you can find one that best suits your needs.</p>
<p>When it comes to comparing <a href="https://www.energystar.gov/products/ask-the-experts/which-clothes-washer-should-i-choose-front-load-or-top-load" target="_blank">top load washers and front load washers</a>, there are a few things you should take into consideration. Price is always a factor, but there are other considerations as well. <a href="https://www.consumerreports.org/washing-machines/yes-your-washing-machine-is-using-enough-water/" target="_blank">How much water do they use</a>? How big is the drum? What kind of cycles are available?</p>
<p>Top load washers are generally less expensive than front load washers, and they use more water. However, their cycles tend to be gentler on clothes, so they're a good choice for families with children or pets. <a href="https://www.tonysappliance.com/catalog/front-load-washers" target="_blank">Front-load washers</a> use less water and are more energy-efficient, but their cycles can be harsher on clothes.</p>

<h2>How Much Water Do Top Load Washers Use?</h2>
<p>Top load washers use a lot of water- about <a href="https://home.howstuffworks.com/washing-machine-water-usage1.htm#:~:text=Conventional%20top%2Dloading%20washing%20machines,the%20neighborhood%20of%2020%20gallons." target="_blank">40 gallons on average.</a> This is because the clothes are agitated by a large rotating drum, which helps them get clean. If you're looking for a top load washer that uses less water, you'll want to look for a model with an AquaPilot system. This system uses sensors to determine the weight and size of the load, and then adjusts the amount of water used accordingly.</p>
<p>You can also save water by choosing a top load washer with an EcoBoost option. This option uses a smaller amount of water for smaller loads, or when you don't need the washer to be at full capacity.</p>
<h2>What Cycles Are Available On Best Top Load Washers?</h2>
<p>There are a variety of <a href="https://www.thespruce.com/how-to-select-the-correct-cycle-2145866" target="_blank">cycles</a> available on the best top load washers, and each one has a unique purpose. The Heavy Duty cycle is best for cleaning heavily soiled clothes, while the Delicate cycle is perfect for more fragile items. If you're not sure which cycle to use, the Normal cycle is a good option for most loads.</p>
<p>Some best top load washers also have an Extra Rinse cycle, which is perfect for removing any excess soap or detergent from your clothes. This can be helpful if you have sensitive skin or if you're trying to avoid getting soap build-up on your clothes.</p>
<p>Finally, the best top load washers also have a Speed Wash cycle. This cycle is designed to quickly clean clothes that are only lightly soiled. So if you're in a hurry, the Speed Wash cycle can come in handy.</p>
<h2>Final Thoughts On Best Top Loading Washing Machines</h2>
<p>When it comes time to purchase the best top loading washing machine, it is important to consider the size of your household and the types of fabrics that will be washed. All best top loading washing machines are not created equal, so it is important to find one that meets your specific needs.</p>
<p>While all top-loading washing machines share some common features, such as the use of water and detergent, there are some models that offer unique features, such as the ability to wash large items or multiple loads at once. Additionally, some best top loading washing machines offer a variety of cycles that can be customized to meet the needs of your specific fabrics.</p>
