Top loader are extremely common in the United States, I don't know a single person who has a front loader, however they are still sold, just the market share is very small.
From what I understand (though it might be myth) front loaders are more efficient.
- ekianjo 13y agoThe advantage of front loaders is that you get more "wear" inside the washing machine, so in theory the washing should be more efficient, but it does not matter that much with the modern detergents we have. The big problem with front loaders is that they tend to damage your clothes faster, wash after wash (I know because I used to work on detergents and did extensive cycle testing in front and top loaders). That's why it's recommended to have a softener in your load, so that your clothes would slide better on each other and get less damage by friction.
