Washing machines typically come in two varieties – front-loading and top-loading – and both have their fans. Front-loading washing machines are generally more water and energy efficient, can be easier to access for those with mobility issues, and can be gentler on clothes than top-loading washing machines. As access to the chamber is at the front, the top of the machine is available for use as a surface to rest your laundry basket, or better yet, as a surface for stacking other appliances. Top-loading washing machines tend to be easier to load and unload for those who may have difficulty bending over, and are better at preventing mold growth as their lids needn’t be air tight. Another advantage is that the controls are out of reach of kids who may be tempted to play with them.

Other factors such as the capacity of the machine will come into play. And you will find a host of options for style and functionality. At the end of the day, the choice is yours, and we can help you determine the best option for you based on your needs.
