@Katsuya89 Sure you are using your front loader right? It is important not to overload, use the right amount of detergent (I prefer powder over liquid) and the right cycle. Use prewash if heavily soiled. I can't compare myself, as agitator top loaders went out of production in the 60's here in Europe, but I can't see how a top loader could ever beat a front loader. Energy and water usage is much lower in a front loader. Wash time is longer, but the machine doesn't need supervision so no problem.
@bannol1 Yeah I agree. We bought a front load in our new house, because I always wanted one cause it looks cool, but now I kind of regret it. Sometimes my clothes still come out dirty, which is something i never had problems with my old top loader. All in all, not only is a front load more expensive, and takes twice the time a top loader takes, it doesn't even clean as well either. Sounds like a lose-lose situation to me.
Modern front loaders don't use enough water to effectively rinse out clothes. Rinse performance is something that is usually not discussed with front loaders for that reason. They also take too long to wash, they don't offer the same level of load flexibility as a top loaders, have too many specialty programs that nobody has any use for and don't wash partial loads very well . They are only marginally gentler on clothes and their cleaning ability is largely on par with most top loaders.
I prefer the Top Loader, because I can soak heavily soiled clothing for a couple hours in the Top Loader, then close the lid to allow it to finish the wash. I had a Front Loader, and heavily soiled clothing was not getting clean.
Other than the most arid places, the hype about water conservation is not nearly so much about the availability of water, as it is about the amount of energy it takes to sanitize and transport it over any distance to customers, and to then collect and treat the waste water. It all goes back to power consumption. Thats the issue. The reason you turn off a light when you leave a room is not out of fear for running out of power in your town, it is to save energy, and reduce your power bill.
how about u compare a HE front and He top load washer together. Thanks.

@GardenGuy06 why would conservation matter where there's abundance? Doesnt make sense!

@BiggerThinking1
bullshit! Cleaning graywater does not need energy? So Americans just poor it into the rivers uncleaned? American stupidity is so annoying!
