WASHING MACHINE - FRONT LOAD vs TOP LOAD

Which is better, a top loading washing machine or a front-loading washing machine?

While both machines detect the wash load & accordingly determine the wash programs, there are some key differentiated features that can help you choose the most suitable washing machine for your home:

Front Load

Top Load

Front-load washing machines:

  • Consumes lesser water due to the horizontal wash axis
  • Its wash quality is better due to the up-down rotations as it works on the principle of gravity
  • The drying performance is better due to higher rotations per minute (RPM)
  • It vibrates lesser due to higher stability of the drum
  • Some front loads also allow addition of clothes mid wash and are more feature loaded
  • Bending/sitting is required to load clothes, which may be difficult for old people or the ones with back problems. To avoid bending, these machines can also be fitted on an elevated platform.
  • These washing machines are heavier than top load machines
  • They cost more than top load because of the premium features, better suspension system and better performing motor

Top-load washing machines:

  • They are more convenient as clothes can be loaded in standing position, no need for bending.
  • Top loads are cheaper in comparison to front-loads
  • Pause feature is available to add clothes in between the wash cycles
