Are Direct Drive washing machines better?
Direct drive washing machines perform better than belt-drive washers. In addition, they lack belts and the other parts that most commonly wear down and break on belt-drive washers. Direct drive washers are also quieter, more reliable, and more energy-efficient than their belt-drive counterparts.
How does a direct drive washing machine work?
