WOW here in Australia if you lift your lid up on your washer while its filling with water , it will stop filling water in the machine untill you put the lid back down.
i agree that top loaders are much cheaper then front loaders…
but they pretty much come down to the same price when you have a water meter!
plus they use much less soap and some can even heat their own water, i wouldnt trade off my Samsungs for anything… unless they are westinghouse slantfront front loaders!
The costs are the equivilent of around $400 for a front loader in Europe. Top loaders would be a small choice if any at all in most household appliance stores.
Most commercial/ industrial machines are front loaders also.
I never had any problems with the quality of washes from front loaders. Buying a reputable detergent does the business.
Top loaders maybe in No.1 in places like the USA but that is probably to do with tradition. Europe wise front loaders are the No.1 seller for decades and conserves water as you do not need a full drum of water as the clothes fall in to the solution on the turn and less energy to heat the smaller volume of water.
Adds up to big savings annually.
These were the machines – the lights, the excellent wash action, no ratcheting auger needed, the great color, and they lasted 40 years – yes, Americans can build good products!
I see. Because, I have loads of dress shirts to always wash all the time… and I always have to wear them but I have 100 shirts in my closet so I can wear them for a hundred days but I wouldn’t want to do that since it will start to smell

But at higher running cost what’s the benefit?
March 8th, 2010 at 10:46 pm
The tumble method is superior for agitation than just wafting back and forth.
Less water cost, more enviromental and cost less to heat the water.
The savings are for front loaders. They have more technology built in.

Yep, but it’ll out wash and FAR outlast any front loader….PERIOD!

They use a lot more water than front loaders.

Why don’t washers have lights like that anymore? I have a Maytag, and it’s nothing like that. Why can’t they make them like they used to?!

this washer’s lint filter is average, some are better some are worse
these old maytags are gentle on clothes, including shirts
March 9th, 2010 at 3:11 am
So then does more lint get sucked into the filter, and on other washers with no lint filter, not much lint is taken out am I right??
Is the washing machine easy on shirts?
