difference between front load and top load-washing machine

Washing Machine:-

Before buying a washing machine you should keep in mind what type of washing machine does you require front load or top load washing machine .

In comparison to top load , Front load washing machine washes clothes more effectively (more cleaner than top load) but it(Front load washing machine)is more costlier than top loading washing machine .

So, why front loading machine washes clothes more cleaner than Top loading machine . To know the answer please continue reading the blog.

->If your  budget is low like less than 15,000Rs than you don’t have the choice between the front load and top loading washing machine , you have to go with the top loading washing machine . Top loading cleans the cloths but not cleaner than the front loading machine . The difference in their cleaning occurs from their difference in design. If your budget is tight or you cannot exceed from 15,000Rs than you have to buy top load washing machine or you may upgrade it to front load later .

But if you have the budget greater than 15,000Rs than you should buy a front load machine not the top load washing machine with better features with the higher cost .

Why you should not buy a top load washing machine with more features and modes over a Basic front load washing machine because you buying the washing machine to wash your clothes more cleaner and the cleaning depends upon the design of the drum not on the more modes and features ,front load has better drum design.

Front load machine circulates the drum in 360^o due to which clothes rotates in upward – downward –left –right directions basically they  ROCK n ROLL inside the machine  and the  pores on the rotating  drum release water to each and every sides and corners of the cloths which results in better cleaning . On the other hand top load machine rotates cloths in anticlockwise then clockwise …. And so on which is not much effective in comparison to the rotation of  front load washing machine . And that’s the very important point in selecting the washing machine for you.

I seen many reviews of the user which upgraded to front load from top load and they have  noticed a lot of difference in cleaning .On that note I recommend you for a front load washing machine .

If you are ready to buy a front load washing machine then what point does you  consider before buying it. Here’s the point:-

 

 i.          Weight :-  

          Selecting the weight(size) of the machine depends on the size of the family

  If the no. of members in your family is 3 to 5 then 5.5 kg size is perfect for you.

 Suppose the no. of members is more than 5 and less than 7 then 6 kg  size  is enough for you.  Or if there is more than 7 members than you may go for 7 kg sized machine.

 NOTE :- Weight denotes the capacity of the drum for example 5.5 kg sized machine can wash     5.5 kg’s of cloths at a time.
 I would recommend a 6kg sized washing machine  over 5.5kg as the price difference between them is hardly 2000-3000Rs .

 

 ii.          Conventional Motor or Direct Drive Motor:-
           Conventional motor consist a driving belt connecting motor to drum of the front load washing machine and results in rotation of drum on switching it ON. But as the name suggest it is primitive technology and now days Direct Drive motor is used its main feature is that it is more space convenient inside the machine than conventional motor and also make less(or no) sound and its comes with warranty of 5-10 years also and are  also replaceable .
 

 

iii.          Spin speed :-
            You should consider RPM(Rotation perminute)of motor before buying washing machine. For example suppose a machine with 800RPM than there is no benefit of buying it as it has 800 RPM it is not able to produce as that much rotation to make your cloths dry or it may dry after several minutes after washing . Therefore you must select a washing machine with minimum RPM of 1000 or 1200 as these RPMs are perfect to make the cloths dry.
 

 

iv.          Digital or Analog :-

If your budget is 30,000rs than you should buy a digital(touch panels to control the machine) washing machine or if your budget is between 15000 to 18000Rs than a analog (with physical buttons ) washing machine is good for you . Both are same but you can a see remaining time or animations in a digital panel which looks good and premium.

Front loading washing machine has less power consumption ,less water and detergent consumption also  as compared to Top load.
