LG Turbo Wash WM3770HVA washing machine front-load washer


There are plenty of aspects to consider when buying a washing machine. Washing machines have evolved considerably over the years and now come in a wide variety of sizes and types, with smart features such as WiFi and more.

Should you get a front-load or a top-load washer?

There have always been debates and contradictions when it comes to the two types of washing machines available today. Which ones are better, front-load washers or top-load washers?

The truth is they both come with benefits and drawbacks and it should very much depend on your needs which one you opt for. Having cleared that up, here are the main advantages and disadvantages for each of them.

Top-load washers. Top-load washers are smaller, cheaper and less heavy than front-load washers. They don’t take up as much space as front-load washers and they make it easier for you to load the laundry in them, because, well, their door is on top and not in the front. On the other hand, most top-load washers have an agitator inside, which is not the best thing for your laundry, because it can be rough on your laundry. They are not very efficient either, because they require more water than front-load washers.

Front-load washers. Front-load washing machines are bulkier than top-load washers, so people with limited space should opt for a top-load instead. They are also pricier than top-load washers. However, the water consumption is lower and they are also gentler on your laundry, because they don’t have an agitator. They also have bigger capacities than top-load washers, which is an important aspect if you know you have a lot of laundry.

How to choose the best washer for your needs.
