Side load > top load with agitator >>>> top load without agitator
>>
>>55581080

Could you explain why side load is better?
>>
all-in-one
>>
>>55581123

Not clean well and not dry well.
>>
Top-loader from the 1990s.
Maybe they're not nearly as efficient but they last literally forever.
>>
>>55581110
Uses less water, and cleans just as well

I had one and i agree with you, but now i want to by a new one because the one a have is broken. So, its no "forever".

Front-loaders are a dying meme. They stink, as in, actually smell (you have to air it out after a wash), also the rubber gasket around the door gets filled with mildew and death. This is why the industry is swinging back to top-loaders.

is that why the vast majority of washers produced today are front loading

what do you guys think of THIS???
>>
Horizontal one since the clothes tumble while the basket spins which enhances the mechanical part of the washing. That's why just about every Industrial scale washers are horizontal.

>>55581292

Water doesn't drain as well or something so they're more susceptible to forming black mold In various places. Usually leaving the door half open to let the washer's insides dry off Is enough to solve this.
>>
What about this thing? You guys like this?

>>55581359
What the fuck is that? Which system is it? Pressure?
>>
>>55581051

Front loader agitates the load more, resulting in a far better wash.

You can get top loaders that work just as well but they cost nearly double the equivalent front loader. At least, that's what I absorbed from the Choice Magazine results when I was shopping for a new washing machine.

>What is the best way to clean out your washer?
I recommend urine. The light acidic pH balance really helps to agitate up all the soaps settled in there and get them out. It always works great for me, and I use it on my machines.

Models on display don't necessarily correlate to units sold. Sideloaders are absolutely required for many apartments. The same isn't true for top loaders. As long as space is a premium in cities, side loaders will survive.

As anon said, it uses less water because of the tumbling effect of clothing. However, the amount of clothing inside affects how clean the load gets. The tumbling effect relies on the friction of the clothes tumbling over each other to agitate and clean them while a top-loader with agitating paddles provides this cleaning friction even with a single article of clothing.

Sideloaders are great if you've got a full load but decline in cleaning and water efficiency with fewer clothes.

The people who complain about the stink don't know that you have to leave a sideloader's door open after a wash. It just needs to be cracked open to dry out. This isn't a problem with toploaders because the top door isn't water-(and therefore air-)tight. Quite frankly, I'm surprised this segment of the consumer market detected this issue because they breathe through their mouths.

Mine has a tiny little magnet to allow you to keep it ajar.

Opening after the wash cycle to prevent mildewy clothes because you left your laundry in the washer for days would be a NEET feature

I had one it was expensive and a gigantic piece of shit. The shitty filter would always get clogged.

There are parts, such as the seal for that front window, that requires a drain. At first they drain well preventing mold but over time those drains fill with dirt and lent. This is unavoidable since cotton produces lent as it is washed and you're cleaning off debris. That dirt and lent trap the water. It's usually not well ventilated and bacteria is given the chance to grow in things it likes to eat, biodegradable lent, nutrient rich dirt, and water.

Got a front loader with my house. Had to run vinegar through it before doing my weekly loads. Gave it away and bought a top loader with no agitator. It works great even when I overload it. Can't comment on the longevity of it but I've gone the 1 year of ownership without vinegar or bleach drum cleaning runs. I'll post the male and model if the thread is still up in the morning.

There's a reason those doors take a good bit of force to pull open even when unlocked.

Wish I had thought of that when I owned a front loader. Would have saved me a fortune on vinegar

Top-loader is best loader

Fits more clothes and cleans better across all loads. People with front-loaders claim they clean as well. They do not, even with a full load. I've owned both, and front-loaders aren't worth the hassle. Yeah, they use less water. Great, don't care. I'd much rather spend a couple bucks extra to get clean clothes and have the ability to throw a giant comforter in the wash.
>>
>>55581436
I'd just like to point out that there's only one side loader in that entire video. So if people that live to use washing machines chose the top loader, it's probably better.

For efficiency probably the HE units that barely dispense any water and reuse soap like 50 million fucking times to get your shit clean.

For effectiveness, top loader, every time. Mechanical agitation, side streamed water, not relying on tumble action, fewer requisite conditions for operation.

Side loaders are a fucking meme, the only reason they exist is that they look "cute" paired with a side loading fucking dryer. Some retard thought it would be fun to add a tumble action to a fucking washer. So stupid, you can't wash shit with that. Imagine washing your dishes by tossing them in circles instead of scrubbing them.

Fuck off with that bullshit for real. If you bought a fucking side loading washer you're fucking dumb as fuck.

people that dont get effective or even superior clean with a front loader, dont know how to set it properly. They are not like machines from the 80's with 2 or 3 total settings.
You cant just toss clothes in and start it...you have to pick the correct settings for the load. If you take the time to do this, you will have a far better experience.
