I had both front and top load washers. I am 5'3" and would need to bend down to be sure each item was out of the front load washer...socks, undies. I like the top load because I could see.
Buy the one in which you can reach the clothes. I miss the agitator (thing in the middle).
The front load there was a smell even if the door was left ajar. The rubber gasket around the door I cleaned often.
My mom would rather have top load...no bending but most importantly can see in.
Recently purchased top load without agitator. Working well. Samsung brand.
