Top-Loading vs Front-Loading Washers - Which is Better

II you're in the market to buy a new washer, one oI the Iirst decisions you'll want to make is whether to buy a top-loading or
a Iront-loading washing machine.
Until a Iew years ago, Iront-loading washers were seen almost exclusively in laundromats, but these days, you can Iind them
in more and more conservation-minded homes as manuIacturers begin oIIering a broader array oI choices.
The traditional top-loading washer does its job well, compared with the washing drums and rollers previous generations
used. The washer's tub sits vertically in the machine and has an agitator in the middle that churns the water and clothes
together, Iorcing water through the items. It drains, reIills with clean water, agitates again, drains, rinses and spins. The
Iront-loading machine Iollows the same basic method, but has many advantages over the standard top-loaders.
The Iront-loading machine's greatest advantage may well be its energy eIIiciency, no small advantage considering an
increasingly environmentally aware marketplace. Nearly every model bears the US Department oI Energy's "Energy Star"
label, setting it apart as an appliance that meets or exceeds the stringent eIIiciency standards set out jointly by the
Environmental Protection Agency and the Department oI Energy.
Here are some oI the other diIIerences between top- and Iront-loading washers:
Efficiency:

While a top-loading machine requires enough water to cover all the clothes in its drum, a Iront-loading washer needs only a
third oI that amount because its drum is set horizontally in the machine. As the drum turns, it uses gravity to drop the clothes
back into the water. And while a top-loading machine will empty the soapy water and reIill Ior a rinse agitation cycle, a
Iront-loading machine just sprays clean water on the load as the drum continues to turn, saving gallons. Since there's no
agitator in a Iront-loading machine, there's a lot more room Ior dirty clothes - and larger loads means Iewer loads.

Finally, the Iront-loading machine's spin mechanism can reach up to 1,000 rpm, as opposed to the standard top-loader's
average 650 rpm. That means less water leIt in the laundry, which in turn gives you a shorter drying time, saving energy
there, too.
Space:

Most Iront-loading washers can be stacked with a companion dryer, an impossible Ieat Ior standard top-loaders, except Ior a
mere Iew models. II Iloor space is important to you, a Iront-loading washer is the better choice.
Clothing life:

There's no question that agitators are tough on your clothes. Because only gravity is at work in a Iront-loading machine,
you'll save a lot oI wear and tear on your laundry, extending the liIe oI your clothes and linens.
Cost:

In this department, the Iront-loading washer is at a signiIicant disadvantage. Typically, they cost a minimum oI several
hundred dollars more than their top-loading counterparts. This initial outlay will be recouped, oI course, in energy costs over
the long run, but iI you can only budget $500 or less Ior a washer, you'll have to go with the traditional top-loading model.

Ergonomics:

II bending or kneeling is diIIicult Ior you, stay with a top-loading machine. You'll need to kneel or bend to load the clothes
as well as remove the wet load Irom a Iront-loading washer. When the machines are stacked, the washer goes on the bottom,
so there's no relieI there, either.
Last-minute lid-flipping:

We've all run back to the washing machine to toss in a just-Iound pair oI socks or T-shirt aIter the machine has started. But
with a Iront-loading machine, there's no turning back once you push the start button. The door locks until the cycle has
ended. There are however, a Iew models that allow a Iew seconds to add a garment, but once that light or time has elapsed,
your clothing has to wait Ior the next load.
etergents:

Although you can use any kind oI laundry detergent in a top-loader, your detergent selection may be a bit limited with a
Iront-loading machine, depending on the manuIacturer. Most manuIacturers oI Iront-loading washers recommend using an
HE low-sudsing detergent; these are becoming more widely available all the time.
In the conservation department, the Iront-loading machine is a clear winner, saving water, energy and, oI course, money over
the liIe oI the machine. The major detractor Ior most consumers is the larger initial cash outlay; Iront-loaders oIten cost $800
or more compared with around $350 Ior a good top-loader.


Difference between front loading and top loading washing machines
Summary - Front loading and top loading washers will perform the same basic tasks with your
laundry, although you should look to their differences to make a decision about which model is right
for your home.
Differences Between The Two Major Types of Washing Machines
f you've ever browsed in the appliances section at one of your local stores and you happened to
pass by the washing machines, you will surely have noticed that there are two major distinctions
between washing machines which are available. You'll find both top loading washers and front
loading washers, although you may not understand what the major differences are between the
two. f you ever plan on buying a new washing machine, though, you should consider what each
type of unit is going to bring to your home.
While many of these washing machines will perform in the same basic manner, there are subtle
differences that you will need to think about before you make a purchase. These will not only
relate to the actual dimensions of the washer, but to the load capacity of these washers as well.
The distinctions between front loading and top loading washers could set them apart during your
decision making process.
Taking a CIoser Look at the StyIes
The best washing machines are going to be the ones which cater to your particular lifestyle and will
help your entire household with all of their laundry needs. While the typical element to consider
relating to the way you load the washing machine will be the capacity of the machine, you also
have to take into consideration the positioning of the unit.

Front loading washers have a loading hole located to the
front and lower on the unit than a top loading washer
would. f anyone in your household has trouble bending
over, it may be difficult for them to use a front loading
unit.
When you are looking for the differences between the two types of washers, you will want to
consider:
Where the laundry is loaded into, meaning top or front.
How large the capacity is within the washing basin.
How much energy and how much water will be used by each type of washing machine.
The number of cycles through which each machine can wash your clothes.
nformation relating to the spin cycle of the unit.
Front loading and top loading washers will differ in these areas, not simply relating to how you put
the laundry into the washer itself. Often, making the choice between two washing machines will be
the difference between how many clothes you want to wash at one time compared to the efficiency
that you are striving to achieve. Making a decision can come down to many specific factors.
Taking a CIoser Look at the Differences
Top loading washing machines, as stated, usually have a larger washing basin. This means that
you can put more clothes into the unit at one time and run larger loads of laundry. n addition to
various water temperatures and spin cycles, you will typically expect to use this washing machine
to take care of large quantities of laundry without much trouble. The nature of this machine,
though, will usually require you to either use a clothes dryer to fully ensure that the clothes will dry,
or to hang dry them. While the spin cycle can help dry the clothes, they will still be damp after
completing this cycle.
Front loading washing machines, although they have a large
basin, will usually hold a smaller amount of clothes. This is
because they cannot contain too much water within, as it could
potentially leak out and cause massive problems. As a result,
you will be able to do less laundry within one of these units, even
though the basin appears to be just as large as with a top
washer. This factor, however, will also result in you conserving
more water than you would with a top washer. This can help you
cut back on your consumption, which will also benefit you on your
power bill.

//itionaI Features
There are some models of front loading washers which will actually work on steam drying your
clothes. This will result in you not having the need for a separate clothes dryer, which can save
you money in relation to your budget for appliances. While one of these units may be more
expensive, it can also help you save money in the long run, as you will not be buying or running
two different appliances.
Some models will be smaller and stackable. Front loading washers and dryers can often be placed
on top of each other, to help conserve as much space as possible. This can help you bring a
washer and dryer into a tighter space, still giving you the full ability for laundry capabilities, without
forcing you to deal with these large, boxy appliances. Other units will include a small washer and
dryer built into the same unit, stacked on top of each other. This can also be beneficial when you
are looking to save on space.
You should also pay attention to the number of temperatures, washing, and spin cycles which are
present in a machine. The more basic units may only give you a few washing cycles and
temperatures, while more advanced units can give you washing cycles which are special for any
number of fabrics. Making the most out of what you are given will be important if you are going to
use your washing machine to handle your entire wardrobe.
Looking at Energy Efficiency

While many washing machines are built to energy efficiency standards in
terms of both power and water consumption, a typical front loading
washer will use far less than the top loading units. You do have to
consider, however, the rate at which you will be using the washing
machine. Using a top loading washer with more power and water usage
once over a front loading machine twice can prove to be more efficient
than you would otherwise expect.
Being energy efficient will be important and you will want to find machines which are going to save
in the end. Take care, however, to fully evaluate washing machine ratings to determine exactly
what those energy levels will be, as you could end up saving more in time with the larger washer.
While these factors will vary with every individual household, taking your personal needs into
consideration will lead you toward making the most economic and environmentally friendly choice
possible
