5 top-load washers to buy in 2018

Even though front-load washers are more popular nowadays, many still prefer the design and functionality of top-load washing machines. They take up less space, you don’t have to bend every time you have to load in the laundry and they can be gentler on your clothes. Also, a lot of manufacturers have replaced the agitators in top-load washers with impellers, which are not only tenderer on your items but also they clean your clothes thoroughly.
