Front-loading washing machines offer larger loads, less laundry time Front-load washers offer the same cleaning abilities as the top-end loading machines of the past, but require less water and less soap. "Because there's less water, the cleaning ends up being a little better because the soap concentration is usually a little higher," says DeMar Young, president of Sure Appliance. "Because of their efficiency, they are a largely requested item." Front-load washers use about one-third of the amount of water, which saves homeowners money on water, heating and soap costs and makes the wash cycle faster, as well.
