>Furthermore, once a front loader starts, it locks the door to prevent water spillage, but this prevents you from throwing in extra items that you found Usually you have a few minutes before that happens, and there are designs (from Samsung I think) where you have a small door in the door to add more. I like front loading washing machines because you can still put things on top of them, they waste less space.
