Front-Load Washer

Three Reasons To Invest In A Front-Load Washer

By The Vann‘s Editorial Team

Sure, you‘ll drop an extra couple hundred bucks on day one, but you‘ll begin recouping cash with your very first load of laundry and you‘ll continue saving until your very last. You‘ll immediately notice the difference in your wallet, and in your clothes.

The Three Reasons You Were Promised

Reason #1 - You value the clothes you wear, delicate fabrics and tough denims alike. So should your washer. A front-loading washing system provides a tumbling action to clean your clothes. Compare the gentleness of a front-loader‘s tumbling with the top-loader‘s "central agitator," whose paddles beat clothes to get them clean. Who wouldn‘t rather plunge repeatedly into a soapy bath of hot water than be held under water and thumped? Choose plunging: the result is cleaner clothes that suffer less wear and tear. Envision an end to the costly replacement of your permanently soiled and prematurely threadbare duds.

Reason #2 - Common sense tells you that to get clothes cleaner you need more water and more soap - which adds up to a more expensive load of laundry. Wrong. Front-loading washers use about half the water that a top-loader does - water that it keeps hotter and more detergent-concentrated to... drum roll, please... get your clothes cleaner. And, without a central agitator taking up space you can fit more laundry in each load. Less water + less detergent + more laundry per load = more savings.

Reason #3 - With spin speeds of up to 1000 rpm, your clothes emerge from a front-loading washer virtually dry. Less time in a drier means substantially lower electricity bills.

Plus, a bonus reason:

Reason #4 - The average front-loader has twice the expected service life of a top-loader. That‘s twice as long to pay you back for deciding to buy the better washer.
