Test Overview. A complete blood count (CBC) gives important information about the kinds and numbers of cells in the blood, especially red blood cells , white blood cells , and platelets. A CBC helps your doctor check any symptoms, such as weakness, fatigue, or bruising, you may have.
Size Matters. Front-load washers can washer larger loads of clothing because there is no agitator. Front-load machines are much better for washing large items like blankets, comforters, jackets and other unusual items. Front-load washers are also built today so you can stack them on top of the dryer.
See our retailer ratings. Our tests of high-efficiency top-loaders, agitator top-loaders, and front-loaders have found big performance differences. Some were mediocre or worse at washing, tough on fabrics, or noisy. We also test cycle time, water and energy efficiency, vibration, and capacity.
