This intelligently measures the size and type of loads and makes adjustments to the water and cycle time. This model also comes with Whirlpool's "Sixth Sense" technology". So you don't need to go head-first looking for that long lost sock! Whirlpool have also added a " Drum Up" feature which moves everything higher. You can open the door with one hand and you don't need to bend down. One thing worth noting is that washing cycles can be faster with top loading machines.Ī great feature about this design over regular loaders is it's much easier to get your washing out. After all, millions of people use this style and have only used this style. Washing Performance - You can expect the washing performance to be pretty similar. The best top loading washing machines should produce under 80db during high-spin and around 50db during regular spin. Noise - As a general rule, you can expect top loads to be slightly louder during regular spin - but there's not much in it! This results in more time and energy spent drying them. If you shop around, you can still find some that are 1200 rpm, and this rivals quite a few "regular" washers.Ī slower speed doesn't necessarily affect washing performance, but it does mean clothes will be wetter after the cycle is complete. Spin Speed - The spin speed is usually slower than front loaders. That's not to say there aren't any "A+++" models - we've included one on our list.
You can expect "A+" to be an average rating, where for front loaders it would be "A++". You also need to leave some clearing distance for the top to open.Įnergy-Efficiency - Due to their design these appliances tend to be less energy-efficient that front loading machines. This means they can get into narrower gaps, but probably won't be able to go under a counter.
Top loaders are usually around 40cm wide by 90cm tall. There are one or two bigger ones (such as this one) but they are much more expensive.ĭimensions – Top loading machines are much more slimline and slightly taller than regular washers.įront loaders are usually around 60cm wide by 80 cm tall. These appliances do the same job as font-loading machines, but there are some key differences you need to look out for.Ĭapacity - As there is such a low demand on the UK market, the capacity tends to be around the standard 7kg.
