Most Reliable Washing Machine
The pros and cons of top load and front load washing machine. Modern machines have come a long way from their early designs. They are now more efficient and have range of functions that lets you control how laundry is treated in a wash cycle. Every model has a unique set of features that you can’t find in other models, it’s best to choose the most reliable washing machine that suits your household’s needs.
I watched a video recently that talks about the pros and cons of each types of washing machines. First, let’s talk about top loads. These machines are a lot cheaper than front loads and the technology has been around in a long time. They have simple controls which makes them easy to operate and allows you to add clothes anytime during the cycle. The down side of these machines is they require alot of water (about 30 to 40 gallons) and can’t wash bulky laundry items like comforters due to the central agitator. They are less efficient than front loaders and can damage clothes because of the agitation action of the wash cycle.
Many would agree that front loads are the most reliable washing machines as it spins faster and gives you more program options; some let you control the spin cycle based on fabric, time, wash cycle, etc. They are increasingly favoured over top loaders because they save space in the laundry area and consume less water and energy. These washers use about 20 gallons per cycle only and finish quickly since they have faster spin cycle. They also have a lot of room letting you wash more laundry or heavy comforters. The cons are: they are locked during cycles so you can’t add laundry once the cycle starts (although one of Samsung’s recent models allows you to do so) and are costly compared to top load washers but you’ll benefit in the long term from savings in water and energy bills as mentioned above.
To summarize, front loads are more reliable than top load washing machines, have a wider range of programs, and gives a cleaner gentler washing. Paying more for these washers is worthwhile as they make the job easier and saves you money on utility bills.
New front loads have Smart Technology like this 5.2 cu. ft. washing machine from Kenmore, you can: choose from 14 different cycles, start, control, and monitor, through the Kenmore Smart App. With its high technology and convenience this is one of the most reliable washing machines today.
