Front Load Washing Machines Are Worth the Investment

It used to be that front-load washing machines were seen only in European homes or in commercial laundromats. Modern families are increasingly choosing to spend the money to add this convenient appliance to their own homes, however, and there are many reasons why they are becoming so popular. Still, some families remain unclear on the advantages of the front-load washing machine. If you are in the market for a new washer, it is important to know the pros and cons between the traditional top-load model and the newer front-loading washing machine options.

When it comes to the budget, the top-load washing machine wins hands down, with models starting at under $300. In contrast, it is hard to find a front-loading model that sells for under $550. However, many families still find the front-load washing machine to be worth the extra investment. While there are some efficient top-load washers, almost every front-loading model earns the distinction of being energy efficient and inexpensive to operate. In addition, front loaders can hold a lot of laundry, even when their cubic-foot capacity is listed as less. This is because there is no space taken up by an agitator drum. Finally, these washing machines get the job done with a fraction of the water use necessary for a top loader. Top loaders require the drum to be completely filled, covering the load of laundry. The front-load design, on the other hand, requires water in less than half of the drum area, as gravity is used to force water through the clothing to get it properly clean; this design also requires less laundry soap, decreasing ongoing operating costs.

While it is not likely that you will find a front-load washer that is the same price as the traditional top-loading models, that does not mean that you have to pay too much. Brands such as Kenmore offer a full assortment of front-loading options that can meet your needs without breaking the bank. These basic front-load models sell for between $500 and $600, but do not feature some of the more advanced technology the brand offers. Adding things like sanitizing cycles and steam-cleaning power increase the final cost, but are well worth it to many families. For those that like style in their home appliances, Kenmore, as well as other brands, offer front-loading models in several fashionable color choices, including red, black, greens and blues.

Of course, no washing machine choice is complete without looking at the matching dryer that goes with the model. While most dryers work in a similar way, models that match front-load washing machines are designed to provide a cohesive look to the laundry room, often featuring a round door instead of the standard square design.
