When it comes to washing machines, currently, there are 3 common types of washing drums available in the market.

This is the most basic and popular type of washing drum that many people first encounter. Specifically, the vertical drum is placed upright, allowing users to easily load/unload clothes into the machine.

This type of washing drum comes at an extremely affordable price point. That's also the reason why it's well-known to many. Typically, machines using a vertical drum have a large washing capacity, enabling users to clean a lot of clothes in one wash cycle.

The horizontal drum design has become familiar and popular among users for many years now. Although it's widely used after vertical drums, this horizontal type has been chosen by many families.

Horizontal drum washing machines offer the advantage of smoother operation and more water efficiency. Additionally, clothes after washing are also less likely to tangle compared to vertical drum machines. However, machines with horizontal drums will have a higher price tag, but in return, users get a better washing experience.
