Which do you prefer? A Top loader or a Front loader? and Why? I had a top loader for years but when it died we decided to get a front loader and I am over the moon with it. It cleans really well and it uses way less water.. I am exceptionally happy with it.. The other day I got into a conversation about them and peoples different thoughts and opinions about them and I found it quiet interesting. So I thought I would see what mylot members have to say so please share your thoughts. What do you have?

We still use a top loader but as soon as we have the money we're planning on getting the front loader...I've heard nothing but positive things about them and they are more energy efficient which is a must these days...

I agree energy efficiency is definitely a must now a days! Since my family and I switched to Cold Water Tide detergent we have saved quite a bit on our energy bill too!

At my mothers house they had a top loader and I thought it was just fine. When I moved to my apartment they didnt have washer and dryers in our unit so I ended up going to the coin laundry down the street. They had front loaders I thought I liked those too. But when my parents purchased a high efficiency top loader I knew I was in love! :) You dont have to select a load size because the washer can sense the size of the load, it does not have an agitator and it automatically does everything like dispenses the deteregent bleach. All you have to do is push whether it is a delicate, white, colors, or heavy duty. I think high efficiency top loader is the one for me! lol

Front loaders can do the same. Mine is like that. My old top loader was the same too. It was good at first, but sice having a front loader I wouldn't go back.

Hi Hun! It's been a while, hope you are well! All we have ever had in the places we have rented is a top loader, so I have never used a front loader. I have heard from quite a few people that they really are great, and most people that have them just love them! Maybe one day when my family and I can afford to own our own home we can buy a front loader!

We have a top loader in our bathroom. I like it because it's more compact. We have a small bathroom, so every inch of space counts. Front loader would take lot more room due to the shutter opening to the side. Our top loader fits nicely in our small bathroom.
