Laundry machines are appliances designed to wash and dry clothes. They come in two main types: washing machines and dryers. Washing machines use water and detergent to clean fabrics, while dryers use heat to remove moisture from washed clothes. Many modern machines have various settings for different fabric types and soil levels. These machines can be either front-loading or top-loading. Front-loading machines are generally more energy-efficient and use less water, while top-loading machines are easier to load and unload. Some laundry machines also have built-in features like steam cleaning and smart technology for added convenience.
