  For those using front-load washing machines, especially those who have just switched from a top-load one, what are your opinions about them? Which would you recommend for someone getting a new washing machine?

  Front-load is satanic because when you see your clothes turn round and round in the washing machine you will develop lust.Use top-load.

  Get a front-load, no regrets.

   

  1. Very minimal damages to all clothings ragardless of fabric

  2. Saves water ( & PUB bill)

  3. Longer lifespan usage easily 5yrs. Mine lasted cool 11yrs before RIP (rest-in-peace). Of course, good maintenance practise

   

  Notes:

  1. Dun buy a 2-in-1 washer & dryer

  2. Lookout for the 4-ticks efficiency marks

  3. Trusted brands Indesit/Ariston/Mayer.. although cost abit more but product quality superiority

   

  If u need further clarifications, pm pls as I dun check forum messages tat often though.

  Which one is worse - don't know how to use a washing machine, or don't know how to wash clothes without one? I belong to the latter by the way.

  Get front-load one, it doesn't have the middle thing to twist and tear your precious clothes compared to the top-load one.

  And front-load one actually dries and drains the water off your clothes better than top-load one.

  I can't remember where I saw the test reported, but top loaders were found to produce less wear on the clothes than front loaders.  If I recall correctly, the top-loader used for the test was not one of the new ones without the centre spindle.

  Front load washes better, and guranteed service life. Downside is its damn difficult to load and unload, something to consider when you get older. Top load is well, er easier to load and unload, till you get older that is. But definitely it will breakdown before your front loader. My last front loader was a Zanucci, and man did it last, till it broke down one day, and its not coz of a clogged drain.
