Washing machines are essential for cleaning large loads of clothing quickly and effectively. Without a working washing machine, life can soon get surprisingly messy. If you are searching for a new washing machine or require service for your existing appliance, you can count on Landers Appliance. We can help you find the ideal washing machine for your needs and provide attentive service that pinpoints any issues.
Front-Load vs. Top-Load Washing Machines
Front-Load Washing Machines
These machines feature a door on the front face of the machine. The drum rotates horizontally, lifting and dropping laundry in a tumbling motion to remove dirt.
- Gentler on clothes
- Better for stain removal due to tumbling motion
- Many models allow you to place a dryer on top, making them space-efficient
- Must clean the rubber gasket around the door to prevent mold and mildew buildup
- A little more physical effort (bending) is required to load and unload
Top-Load Washing Machines
Top-load machines feature a lid on top of the machine for loading and unloading laundry. These washing machines feature a vertically oriented drum that agitates laundry using a central post with fins that move clothes and remove dirt. Increasingly, modern top-load washers feature an impeller (cone or disc) that is more efficient.
- They require less maintenance and are easy to clean
- Clean clothes faster
- Easy to load and unload laundry (slight bending or crouching required)
- Allow you to add to a wash once a cycle has already started
- Can pre-soak your laundry, a feature not offered by many front-load washers
- Cannot stack with a dryer
