Top loaders are absolutely rubbish. Have you seen the advert as to why people prefer them cause they can't be arsed to bend down and put clothes in a front loader.

True, man designed the toploader at womans request, apparently woman forget to put all the clothes in before a wash, and the top loader allowes them to add stuff after it's started.

Speaking of stupid men, why is it woman never invent anything?

Well I had a dog and boy did she bark!

Toploaders are worse than front loaders by design, Toploaders only have centrufugal spin so don't jumble up the clothes in the water to get a good wash. A Frontloader also has gravity to cause the clothes to get nicely pounded. The ex has a new F&P toploader, and I have a 5 year old frontloading zannusi, mine washes just so much better.

The ex? Have I missed something here?

I prefer front loader, much better performance IMO. Although hubby says his ex used to 'kill' a machine a year by overloading it??? Now that is just stupid - I make mine last for at least 5 years - for a family of 5 and now kids almost grown and gone expect the next one to last for ever.

Exactly, that is what I do, just drag the washing into the basket. Top loaders don't work for me as a sub 5ft woman, I can't reach into the bottom

I might start a new website where by dissatisfied Brits can swap their top loaders for front-loaders unloved by Australians.

We have a frontloader by circumstance than by design, I got (a BOSCH) if for 50 bucks which has been going for 5 years.

Judging by opinion, we won't be getting a toploader for a replacement.
