Weight by machine type
Pick your type of machine for its range, then open the model table below it. Each range
runs from the lightest to the heaviest model listed here for that type — a sample of
makers' published figures, not every machine on sale.
The heaviest model listed is an all-in-one washer-dryer at 317 lb; the stacked
washer-dryer units are weighed as one piece — washer and dryer together.

Why washing machines are so heavy
Much of the weight is ballast. A Maytag patent describes the standard design: "A laundry
washing machine tub typically has a counterbalance weight secured thereto in order to
balance the tub during rotation. Such a counterweight typically is formed with one or more
pieces of concrete secured to the tub with bolts or other fasteners."
How much concrete is a secondary figure: press coverage of Nottingham Trent University
research put it at "about 25 kg of that being concrete blocks used to counter drum spin
forces during a wash cycle" (New Atlas, 2017). Treat it as an order of magnitude, not a
specification — the manufacturer sources collected here do not give counterweight
masses.
Before you move or install one
- The floor carries more than the table says. Whirlpool's
front-load manual: "Floor must support washer’s total weight (with water and load) of 315
pounds (143 kg)."
- Plan for more than one person. The same manual: "Use two
or more people to move and install or uninstall appliance."
- Lock the drum before a move. GE: "When moving the washer,
the tub should be kept stationary by using the shipping bolts removed during installation."
Whirlpool goes further: "Do not reuse transport bolts. Washer must be transported in the
upright position."
- Concrete beats floorboards. Miele: "A concrete floor is
the most suitable installation surface. It is far less prone to vibration during the spin
cycle than wooden floorboards or a carpeted surface." On a joist floor it asks for a plywood
base bolted to the joists, and stacking a Miele dryer on top needs a stacking kit.
What the figures do and do not include
- Unpacked, not shipping weight. Every row is the machine
out of its box. The carton adds more: LG prints "Weight (Product/Carton) 198.4 / 212.1 lbs." for the WM4000HWA.
- Dry and empty. None of these figures includes water or
laundry — that is why Whirlpool's floor requirement above is far higher than its machine's
net weight.
- Some makers just say "Weight". Miele and Siemens label the
figure "Weight" rather than "Net weight"; those rows say so.
- Capacity is not the load you can lift. The drum rating is
the dry laundry the machine takes — size one with the
washing machine size quiz, or weigh a real load with the
laundry weight calculator.
How this table was built
Launderwise weighed nothing. Each row is a model whose manufacturer publishes its
unpacked weight, read from that maker's own product page or spec-sheet PDF on 29 September
2026 — no retailer listings. It is a sample chosen to cover every machine type with at
least two brands, not a census. The figure in bold is exactly what the maker prints; the
other unit is a conversion. Models were left out when the maker's own data contradicted
itself (one page printing two different net weights, another "Net Weight 1 lbs"), when
only a shipping weight was published, or when the model had left the maker's catalogue.
The whole table is free to reuse under CC BY 4.0: download it as JSON or CSV, with the
source line for every row, from the
