New low-cost fully automatic washers

By on January 5, 2024

Even with all of the great advantages of heavy duty washer brands in the market today, you might still need to mull over the decision of whether you will be making Japan as your permanent home. Japan’s power voltage and frequency are different to the country you expect to move to next.

So if you are in Japan on a temporary arrangement for a few years, consider your household budget and laundry needs first. Choose features that align with your laundry preferences and research the maintenance requirements.

Doing laundry will regularly be a chore so investing in a reliable, energy-efficient washing machine can help make it slightly more enjoyable. If shopping for a washing machine puts your head in a spin, here are our top 3 recommendations.
