Top load, front load?

[EternalFantasies]

Which, by who and why.

I hear your mom gets both top loaded and front loaded.

I know the truth hurts, how long of a grudge do you hold is the question.

Well, aren't all dryers front load, so I guess we're talking about the washer. On both, I went with the front load because they were on sale and because they have pedestals which are great for storing everything I need to do laundry and some junk towels/rags.

My husband is an insurance agent. He has had several claims where the seal on a front loader leaked and water flooded the floor and damaged the floor and walls seeping into the floor below. I would go with a top loader.

People explain your choices.

So far front load is winning, and no one touched on why.

Must be all the mildew on your turtle necks!

 

[WoundedKnee]

I fully explained my choice, so you cannot say no one. Also, unless I go look, I have no idea what brand it is.

What a quirky thread.

A sale is usually across a category of products or a whole store, and a pedestal isn't why ppl choose a long term purchase 4est,

Only you.

But I'd go with frontload. Easier to load & unload.

 

[WoundedKnee]

That's just the way I roll. I did a search on the computer, found the lowest price on both types of machines, visited both stores and the pedestal was the tie-breaker. I believe that every dollar that I do not spend is a premium. It is a savings that can go towards something else. Plus top-loaders are fucking ugly as hell and the matching dryer did not have a steam-enhance function for wrinkled clothes. That meant that I would no longer have to iron, so I no longer needed to dedicate space for ironing.

PS - Having just done repairs on both machines, I can tell you, on the inside all dryers are identical other than the placement of the control computer and wiring harnesses. I only had to fix the door on the washer, so I cannot talk about its innards, but I have repaired a top loader before, so if I ever have to repair mine on the inside, then I will be able to offer a compare and contrast.

Leak.........go top loader. See above... listen to meeeeee!

Repair a front loader yourself. I think u'll fund it much harder than the top loader.

And I'm clearly talking about a washer. And I don't care about matching etc. In fact, a washer that's black / graphite and a white dryer, is kinda poetic in my head.

Well, not just the leak. there's other reasons I'm hopingg to get others to give their own opinions.

But, I almost bought a front loader, but that voice inside.... now i'm leaning top loader mainly due to mildew and bad smell issues. There seems to be multiple class action suits against all manufacturers on those.


I also realize I should've included a pool option: I don't own one.

Location, location, location.

If your appliances are in the basement with the rest of the mechanical and access to a floor drain, then a leak is not a disaster. This, is, at least, one lesson imparted to me in my childhood. Anything that involves a lot of water is eventually going to malfunction, you have no control over that. Where is malfunctions is under your control.

You think, but you don't know for certain, right?

I'm a little more OCD than you are. I like everything to match. I'm not that guy with an assortment of cups, glasses, plates, silverware, kitchen towels, dishrags, bath towels...,
