Best Front Load Washing Machine
Top Rated Front Load Washing Machines 2024
Front load washing machines have their advantages over top loading washers. What on Earth could they be might you ask? One of the first things to note is the extra work space that that top of the washer offers. Instead of having to keep the top clear, a front load model lets you iron or fold clothes on the top. There is also the matter of efficiency. A front load washing machine only uses about half of the water a top loader uses. Think about all the water saved after a year of washing clothes. We looked at some of the best front load washers on the market today and rated them based on the following points:
1. The number of cycles for cleaning different types of fabrics
2. Speed of the wash cycle
3. Quality and build of the unit and components
4. Drum capcity
5. Look and style of the washer, colors offered, etc.
6. Price
