There are two
types of washing machines: front-load washers and top-load washers. In
front-load washers, the wash drum is oriented horizontally, and you put
your dirty laundry in through a door that opens on the front of the
machine. In top-load washers, the wash drum is oriented vertically, and
you lift up a door on the top of the machine to drop your laundry in
from above. You're probably thinking, "Who cares where I put the laundry
in, as long as it comes out clean?" While the distinction between these
two types of washers may seem trivial, they differ significantly in
terms of engineering and user experience.
While front-load washers are the hot new thing when it comes to laundry appliances, many people prefer top-load washers because they're easier to use (in that they typically have less complex control panels), more ergonomically designed (you don't have to bend over to put your laundry in), and typically cost less than their front-load counterparts.
We evaluate washing machines for how well they clean and remove stains, how much energy and water they consume, and how gentle they are on fabric.
