Top-loaders are often preferred for their convenience and ease of use. Front-loaders are known for their energy efficiency and gentle fabric care.

3. Agitator vs. no agitator top-load washer: What's the difference?Traditional top-load washers use an agitator that moves clothes around. Agitator-free models use different mechanisms such as impellers to move clothes around.
Washers with an impeller generally offer more space per load and are gentler on fabrics than top-load washers with an agitator. Washers that come with an agitator are highly effective in removing stains and dealing with heavily soiled clothes. -
