⌗ Editorial recommendation

Which one is right for you?

If you want to fill a narrow gap (40 cm width), do not want to bend down and need a lot of laundry capacity (7.5 kg) → Exquisit LTO51207 (top-loader from above), the most expensive but the most space-saving in width. If you want a cheap, economical front-loader with only 44 cm depth (fits under a counter) → Bomann WA 7161 (energy class A, from €279). Width tight → top-loader; depth tight & budget → front-loader.
