When buying any household appliance, various indicators are taken into account. This is not to say that top-loading washing machines are the most expensive. The first estimate is still the volume, which depends on the number of family members. If there are small children in the house, the level of protection is important. Often, housewives prefer the manufacturer's product, the products of which have already been used. The next criterion is price. It depends on the financial possibilities of the family.

Choice by manufacturer
It is difficult and not even reasonable to choose a device according to the manufacturer's country. Firstly, the most expensive washing machines differ little in functionality from models presented at an average price. The cost is inflated due to the popularity of the brand. Secondly, washing machines are assembled not only in the home of the brand owner. The country is often not indicated so that buyers are not lost.
This means that it cannot be said that the Whirlpool appliance was brought from the USA. Most likely, the machine was assembled in the city of Alexandrov, Vladimir Region or in Slovakia. Popularity is due to a wide range of models, high quality washing, low power consumption, easy navigation of the control panel.

Conclusion
No one can determine which top-loading washing machine is the best. When choosing this question, everyone has to answer independently, based on the conditions, the required load volume, and financial capabilities. In addition to the options considered, there are many others, but some criteria still need to be observed.
It is important to remember that the price often depends on the brand, in second place is the number of functions. You should not overpay for a washing machine if its functionality will never be fully used. It is also not advisable to choose a unit with too much load if there are only 2 or 3 people in the family. A machine that can hold more than 7 kg of laundry is not suitable for a household. This is professional equipment with a completely different functionality.
If the machine is selected by manufacturer, be sure to find out where it was assembled. It is also advisable to ask the nearest workshop, whose devices break down more often and how many spare parts are available.
