If you are looking for a washer that delivers excellent performance, a front load washer may be right for you!

Unlike the common top load washer, front load washers do not have agitators, instead, clothes are washed by being tumbled through a concentrated water and detergent mixture. These machines have been used for years in commercial laundries but are now practical for home use as well.

Benefits of the front load washer

• Larger Capacity: Because there is no agitator the average load is increased by up to 30%. The extra space improves washing of bulky items such as comforters and throw rugs.
• Energy Efficiency: Front load washers spin considerably faster than traditional top loaders. Clothes will come out drier from the washer, thus reducing drying time in the dryer. This saves energy and helps the dryer keep pace with the washer during multiple load washing. Because they use less water they also require up to 68% less electricity to heat the water, resulting in more energy savings.
• Gentle Wash Action: Without the agitator, front load washers provide a gentler wash action. Because the drying time is less the result is less wear on fabric so your clothes will last longer.
• Better Cleaning: Many stains are cleaned better using the front load washing machine than with conventional top load washers.
• Less Noise: No clunky sounds. Quiet machines are much more desirable because many house plans now place laundry areas closer to living spaces.

 
Options for front load washers

• Sanitary Cycles: Clothes will be washed at very high temperatures that kill bacteria and mold.
• Stainless Steel Wash Baskets: These baskets won't rust, crack or snag your clothes.
• Stream: Loosens the fabric, allowing for better soil extraction.

Although front load washing machines are more expensive up front they are less costly to run over time. They usually come standard with more features and cycle options. They are also more desirable from an environmental point of view.
