Advantages and disadvantages of a top-loading washing machine

Typically, top-loading washing machines are much smaller than front-loading units. However, both the one and the other type of download have their own bright followers. In the article, we will try to consider the pros and cons of a vertical loading machine and do it as objectively as possible.

Main advantages

We will consider only the most relevant moments for modern realities, so it’s worth starting with the dimensions. For small-sized modern apartments, the compactness of vertical bars is very useful, since the unit can easily fit in any corner of the bathroom or pantry. Machine parameters: 85 centimeters in height, 60-65 in depth and 40-45 in width, while the volume of the drum allows you to load the same 6.5 kilograms of laundry that are loaded into the front.

Now about the children. Whatever manufacturers of frontalos come up with to protect the washing process from children. In the case of the vertical, this is not necessary. Firstly, the hatch and buttons are located on top, and a small child simply will not see them. Even if out of curiosity he wants to see, getting to the top will be extremely difficult. Yes, even if he succeeds in stopping the washing and opening the hatch, no leakage or accident will happen. And this is a huge advantage!

From here - the following plus: you can stop washing and reload forgotten laundry. The front-loading machine is not intended for such operations, and by starting the wash, it can no longer be stopped.

Important! But the washing machine with a vertical load will cope with this task without difficulty, only it is better to reload at the beginning of the cycle, otherwise it will be useless.

In addition, since the hatch is located on top, there is no need for parts that protect the door from leakage, such as rubber seals or glass. If such parts fail at the front, you need to shell out a lot of money to replace them, but here such a problem is excluded.

And finally, there are small pluses: there is no need to bend to three deaths to load a drum, which is difficult for older people or users with a sore back. And during the spin, the vertical machine behaves much calmer: it does not jump and does not vibrate. We talked about the main advantages, now let's move on to the disadvantages.

The main disadvantages

One of the most significant drawbacks is the inability of the vertical to be built into furniture. Thus, you need to properly plan the environment of the room with a washing machine, so that everything is conveniently and harmoniously located.

In the same series - the dysfunction of the top cover of the washing machine. If the top of the front-loading machine always serves as a cabinet, shelf and fits a lot of necessary household items, then with a vertical machine it is impossible. And given that it goes as a separate item and does not fit in anywhere, this is doubly inconvenient, since you need to look for additional space for a cabinet or cabinet.

Also, financially, a vertical loader is less profitable, because it usually costs more, and it is more difficult to replace parts. After all, front-ends are designed for the mass market, but vertical units are not. Another problem is the narrow hatch.

1. Big stuffed toys.
2. Pillows
3. Plaids.
4. Blankets

All these products can be extremely difficult to fit into the machine, and even get it - even more so. After washing, they gain weight and become more voluminous, which is very difficult, for example, for a young woman.

The last significant minus - the powder compartment does not get. But dry detergents gradually form hardened solid deposits, which must be washed out so that the unit works properly. The front camera compartment can be easily removed and washed in a way that is convenient for you, but you can’t do this with the vertical.You will have to take a sharp object and scrape off the frozen powder coating as much as possible in such a situation.

It is impossible to say for sure that a vertical car is worse or better than a frontal one. Since the number of pros and cons of this technique is approximately the same. Just choosing a device, you need to focus on your preferences and think what is more convenient and worthy for you.
