A front-load washer requires less water, holds larger loads and saves you energy in reduced water heating costs! Front-load washers have a faster spin cycle and remove more water from the wet clothing, therefore requiring less drying time resulting in additional cost savings.
You can save on your annual water heating cost when selecting a front-load clothes washer over a top-load clothes washer.
