1) Agitator-type washing machine, also known as a wave-disk washing machine, relies on the wave wheel timing for forward and reverse rotation or continuous rotation methods for washing.
2) Drum-type washing machine places the laundry in a drum partially immersed in water, relying on the drum's timed forward and reverse rotation or continuous rotation for washing. Its advantages include high cleaning efficiency, minimal wear on clothes, especially suitable for washing wool fabrics, low water consumption, and most come with hot water devices, facilitating automation.
3) Stirring-type washing machine, also known as a shaking-type washing machine. Typically, there is a stirrer installed vertically in the center of the washing bucket. The stirrer swings back and forth within a certain angle range around its axis, stirring the washing liquid and clothes, similar to hand-washing kneading. The advantages of this type of washing machine include large laundry capacity, relatively comprehensive functions, automatic control of water temperature and water level, and equipped with a circulation pump.

According to the structural type, washing machines can be divided into ordinary single-bucket, double-bucket, semi-automatic double-bucket, fully automatic agitator-type washing machines, and fully automatic drum-type washing machines.
