Front loader. Better water usage isn't it?

and finally..... Some of the newer design top loaders are being advertised as being as good as the top loaders. Hence, the top loader manufacturers must agree that the original design top loaders were not as good... :D |

Our Fisher & Paykel top loader finally died a year ago, so I went through the exercise of top vs front loader (just to make my Aussie OH happy, they seem very attached to top loaders here :rolleyes:).
Definitely a front loader - we went for a Bosch 6.5 kg, 1200 rpm model, with an impressive range of programmes. It's rated 4.5 out of 5 for water usage, 4 out of 6 for power consumption. It's much better than the Miele we tried, although a noisier spin. Try looking at http://www.productreview.com.au/ for all the different brands and models - it's surprising how many well-known brands are given a pasting. |

I got a utility but have a kitchen worktop over the washer and tumbler with a fitted cupboard for the detergents and stuff.
My mother in law had a top loader which was older than me she swore by it, but i just thought it was a similar sort of conflict that VHS had over Betamax, oh and the frontloader won that marketing battle too lol |

My wife is a front loader convert as when she left the States they didn't do anything but top loaders. Front loaders are much easier on the clothes and seem to clean them better. She hates going home for visits and doing laundry now due to the top loaders.

I've never tried a front loader so went with what I knew! Plus, at the time we got a government $250 water saving rebate:thumbsup: Got our Samsung on sale at the Good Guys for $430 then received the rebate.
