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. Most laundry machines have various settings to accommodate different fabric types and soil levels. They can be front-loading or top-loading, with front-loaders generally being more energy-efficient. Many modern machines also feature digital controls and smart technology, allowing users to monitor and control their laundry remotely.
