Do you not know, which type of washing machine, you should buy, a top loaded or a front loaded model, then read on to learn about the differences between the two models.

Top Loading Washing Machines

The top loading washing machine is a classic in most homes in USA. It is difficult to find a housewife who has not used this model at some point. And it is also a great model for many reasons.

It is faster to wash with a top loaded washing machine than a front loaded model. The washing cycle is shorter. It is also easier to load the clothes in the washing machine, because you do not have to bend down. Finally it is cheaper to buy than the frontloaded version.

But it does also have some disadvantages. Because of the use of an agitator, there will be greater wear and tear in the clothes. But more serious it is also less energy effective, because of the use of more water and electricity.

Front Loading Wahsing Machine

The front loading washing machine is popular in many European countries. And its popularity is also rising in USA. The reason is first of all because of the lower energy consumption.

If you are washing the same amount of clothes, the front loading machine uses up 60 % less electricity and water compared to the top loader version. So this type might be more expensive, but the savings in the everyday life can be significant.

The frontloading washing machine is also smaller (with the same capacity) than the traditional washing machine. Many people will also find it sleeker and better looking.

But of course the front loading washing machine also has some disadvantages. As mentioned it is more expensive to buy. And for older people it can be a problem that it is more difficult to load. Because it uses an agitator, the washing time is longer.

Choose the Right Washing Machine

So which type should you choose? Well, it depends. If you care for the environment (and your money) you should choose a frontloaded washing machine. It uses much less water and energy.

But if it is important to you, that you can wash quickly, the frontloading type is better for you. The same apply if you are older.
