The most popular washing machine categories
Front-loading washing machines
The most versatile solution, with a wide range of programmes, various capacities and a stable spin for everyday use.
Top-loading washing machines
A more compact solution for narrower spaces, with convenient loading from the top and practical everyday use.
Washer dryers
A 2-in-1 solution for washing and drying — convenient for flats and homes with limited space.
Energy-efficient washing machines
Models with lower electricity and water consumption help reduce monthly costs while maintaining high washing quality.
Quiet washing machines for flats
Important if the washing machine is next to a bedroom or in an open-plan space — choose models with a lower noise level and better vibration control.
Capacity: 6–7 kg, 8–9 kg, 10+ kg
6–7 kg is usually suitable for 1–2 people, 8–9 kg for families, while 10+ kg models are useful for a heavier load and less frequent washing.
Spin speed (rpm)
In many cases 1200–1400 rpm is the optimal balance between residual moisture and gentle treatment of fabrics. The higher the rpm, the drier the laundry after washing.
Steam function and hygiene modes
Steam helps refresh fabrics and reduce creases and allergens. Hygiene programmes are especially useful for children's clothes and sensitive skin.
Leak protection
Anti-leak safety systems help protect the home from water damage and are especially useful in flats and in everyday use without constant supervision.
How to choose a washing machine?
- Loading type — front or top loading, depending on the space and everyday convenience.
- Capacity — 6–7 kg for everyday use, 8–9 kg for families, 10+ kg for a heavier load and less frequent washing.
- Dimensions and depth — the standard width is usually around 60 cm, while slim models with a smaller depth are suitable for narrower spaces.
- Energy efficiency — important for reducing long-term electricity and water costs.
- Noise level — the lower it is, the more comfortable, especially in flats and open-plan spaces.
- Spin (rpm) — affects how dry the laundry will be after the washing cycle.
- Programmes and hygiene — steam, quick programmes, hygiene modes and fabric care can matter a lot in everyday use.
- Safety — leak protection, a child lock and automatic control help make operation safer.
Why choose a modern washing machine?
Modern washing machines provide not only clean laundry but also more efficient use of resources, more convenient programmes and gentler treatment of fabrics. Many models can automatically adjust water and electricity consumption, while additional functions such as steam, hygiene modes and quick washing help adapt the appliance to different everyday needs.
A washer dryer or a separate tumble dryer?
A washer dryer is a practical solution for saving space, especially in flats or small homes. It allows washing and drying to be combined in a single appliance. A separate tumble dryer, on the other hand, usually offers a larger drying capacity and often a more efficient drying cycle. The choice depends on the space available, the amount of laundry and your everyday habits.
What affects the price of a washing machine?
The price of a washing machine is affected by the brand, capacity, number of programmes, motor type, energy efficiency and additional functions. More expensive models often offer quieter operation, better vibration control, a steam function, automatic dosing, Wi-Fi control or additional safety systems. For more practical everyday use a well-balanced model without unnecessary functions is often enough.

Frequently asked questions
Which loading type is better — front or top?
Front loading is more versatile and offers a wider choice of models, while top loading is convenient for narrower spaces and for loading from above.
Which capacity is suitable for a family?
For families a washing machine with a capacity of 8–9 kg or more is usually recommended, so that you wash less often and more efficiently.
Does a washer dryer replace a separate tumble dryer?
In everyday use it is a convenient alternative, especially for saving space. A separate tumble dryer usually offers a larger drying capacity and a shorter or more efficient cycle.
What does a washing machine cost in Latvia?
The price depends on the brand, capacity, functions, energy efficiency and motor type. 1Store.lv offers both practical everyday models and premium solutions with extended capabilities.
Is the steam function useful in everyday use?
Yes — steam helps refresh fabrics, reduces creases and allergens, and supports more hygienic clothing care. This is especially useful for children's clothes and sensitive skin.
How does leak protection work?
Many models use safety systems that detect a leak and automatically shut off the water supply. This reduces the risk to the home and is especially important in flats.
