Which one to go for? Front or Top Load Washing Machine Nowadays, washing machines come in two different types, front as well as top loading. In simple terms, in a front loader you put your clothes through the front, whereas in a top loader, through the top. Top loaders have a vertically positioned drum which is loaded through a hinged cover, closed as well as sealed all through the wash cycle. In the middle of the drum bottom is the agitator which can move separately from the drum. Throughout washing, the drum is filled with water and the motion created by the drum and agitator rinses the clothes by drawing them into the center then down to the bottom out to the side and back to the top to start all over again.

Front loaders have a horizontal drum loaded through a door at the front and attached to the drum is a bellows type seal to make sure water does not leak out. These bellows can gather lint as well as smell if not cleaned on a regular basis to stop fungus growth. No agitator is required as the clothes tumble with the spin of the drum caused by gravity, making them better for delicate wash.

A smaller amount of water is used in these machines as the clothes just have to be damp not submerged and sensors automatically control the water level to go well with the load. One more benefit of less water is that less soap is also needed. Small homes and built-in kitchens where machines are to be fitted below the counter are perfect for using a front loading washing machine.

Results from analysis have proved that front loaders use less water and power even though the cycle time in a front loader is usually longer. All top loaders as well as most modern front loaders let you stop the machine in mid cycle to add or take out any items, if required. Knowing all this, now if you are out to buy a washing machine for yourselves, do some washing machine comparison amid different models and make a smart buy, today!
