With the numerous front load washers now available in the market, top loaders are now a thing of the past. But despite the advancement of washing machine technology, a lot of people still prefer the convenience of using top loaders.
There are actually a lot of benefits of top loading washers that cannot be provided by its front loading counterpart. Here are just some of them:
1. Easier to use
You don't have to be a genius to manipulate this washer. Its relatively simpler controls are easier to understand. Older people trying to wash their clothes without a hitch will surely find this machine a better and a more reliable choice.
The vertical construction of the machine also makes it more ergonomic. Old people do not have to bend down to load and unload their garments. You can just throw your clothes in the vertical drum of this machine.
2. Easier to install
This machine does not have a lot of fussy parts. You just need to hook it up to a water source, have an electrical outlet nearby and direct the drain hose to your drain pipe and you are good to go. Most top loading machines also include platforms. These platforms will elevate the machine to make it easier to load and unload garments. The platforms also help reduce washing machine noise.
3. Cheaper
If you have less than 400 hundred dollars, you can already buy a fully functional and fully reliable top loader. Its front loading counterpart costs nearly twice as much as a regular top load.
4. More durable
The more parts and nifty features incorporated in a washer, the higher the chances of breakage are. If a front loading machine has sensors, those sensors might eventually give out. Replacement and maintenance cost a lot of money.
5. More resistant to molds and mildew
The machine drains out water more effectively because of its vertical drum. In addition to that, you can just leave its top door open all the time to allow air to circulate inside the washer and dry up the parts you cannot reach.
Perhaps the only thing that will deter you from choosing this type of machine is its inefficiency. Compared to front loads, this is a less efficient choice. But there are now a lot of companies who have developed improved versions of the traditional vertical drum washing technology. These machines are now called HE top loaders. These washers have the benefits mentioned above but with the efficiency similar to front loaders.
