Best Top Load Washers for 2022
Since washers sell for anywhere from $275 to $2,500, you are probably wanting to research what is out there so you can get the best one for your needs. The trend for front load washers has gone down slightly over the years mainly due to consumer concern with mold issues and the price tends to be higher than top load washers. A top load washer is a good choice because the water drains down and out, making it less likely for them to develop mold and odors than front-loaders. Home-Tech has been repairing and installing appliances since 1981. We know what is currently performing well with little need for repair so we put together a list for you to check into.
First you will want to decide on the type of top load washer you would like: an agitator top load washing machine or a high efficiency non-agitator top load washing machine.
