Posted by

Which is better whether the washing machine has a top opening (top loading) or a washing machine with a front opening (front loading)? Here are tips on choosing a washing machine, whether Top Loading or Front Loading:
1. Number of Tubes. For the washing machine the top loading is divided into 2 tubes and front loading with 1 tube. If the washing machine has 2 tubes, place to wash and dry in a different tube. In this type during the washing process, there are propellers at the bottom of the rotating tube and do the washing process. While on 1 tube, the tube for washing and drying is done in the same tube. This tube will also rotate in the drying process.
2. Use of water. In terms of water usage, the top washing machine is loading using more water than the front loading washing machine. This is due to the top loading washing machine, the water must be filled fully first, then the engine is run. Whereas in front loading type washing machines, water will be removed little by little during the washing process.
3. Use of electricity. For the use of electricity in front loading and top loading washing machines, in general it is almost the same which is about 300 Watts when using ordinary water. In front loading type machines, there are additional facilities for washing with hot water but the electricity needed is around 2000 watts.
4. Technology. The most basic difference between these two types of washing machines is the technology used. Top loading type washing machine, because the rotation is horizontal, causing the water in it to form a whirlpool that causes clothing to get twisted. On the contrary, the front loading type washing machine rotates vertically resembling the wheel rotation causing the clothes to always fall down so that the clothes are not twisted together.
5. Drying rate. The level of dryness of clothing produced in frontloading type washing machines reached 95%, while the top loading washing machine only produced 70% level of drought.
