Front-load Vs Top-load Washing Machine

[ngunadi 2]

What are the pros and cons?

Initially, I'm thinking to get Front-Load Washing Machine because (1) save water (2) cleaner.

But some people said that Front-load uses more electricity and takes longer to wash (2 hours).

Then I see many reno-forumers use top-load washing machine also.

What are your thoughts?

i think its personal preference altogether but, from my own point of view I prefer top loading machine because front loaders are troublesome to me and theres a rim of rubber in front loaders that gets loosen after probably a year of washing and mould will appear in due time. On top of that, top loaders dry yr clothes better than front loaders.

Actually Top load cheaper but use more water less electricity .

Front load look nicer (to me) more expensive but use less water but more electricity

If got old pp , not advice to get front load, cos need to bend down.

Biggest advantage of front loader is that it is gentler on clothes.

The washing action is a tumbling one instead of twisting.

All that twisting in a top loader stretches fabric.

Cotton T-shirts visibly suffer most at the hands of a top loader's agitator.

Collars gets stretched, hems get wavy and shirts lose shape.

Ah .. if this the case. I might get the front-load machine. Though the western-brand price puts me off. Maybe i should bet on Samsung top-load.

@cromodora winsland house, nope. Why?

@bro Since u don't comment anything on Samsung front-loader, it means everything is fine? We would be getting that one though.
