All automatic washing machines are divided into frontal and vertical according to the type of loading. Both models have both positive and negative sides. They have the same operating principle and standard design details. What are the advantages of top-loading washing devices? Why is it worth purchasing such a model?
Compactness
All automatic washing machines with a vertical loading type have approximately the same dimensions: height - 85 cm, width - 40-45 cm, depth - 60-65 cm. With such small dimensions, it fits perfectly in the corner of the bathroom. Despite the fact that the volumes of such models are smaller, their maximum load is the same as that of full-size frontal models (up to 6.5 kg). Vertical types of machines are often purchased to equip bathrooms with a small area.
Possibility of adding laundry during the washing process
If there is a need to report something, then this is not a problem at all. You can easily pause the machine, open the drum, add items, and start the further washing procedure again. True, this should only be done at the beginning of the cycle.
Reliability
Top loading washing devices are considered more reliable. For vertical models, the drums are fastened on both sides, while for front ones - only to the rear wall.Thus, when the washing machine operates, less vibration is ensured and, as a result, noiselessness and stability. Such washing units have a longer service life.
Safety and comfort
It is recommended to install vertical loading washing machines in apartments where families with small children live. This can be explained by the fact that the control panels in such models are located at the top, where it is difficult for children to reach. In addition, an ordinary white cabinet is unlikely to attract their special attention. It is worth noting that there is no need to bend over when filling and emptying the drum. This is very convenient for people with bad backs and older users.
Does not require additional material costs
All vertical models do not have rubber seals because there is no cover (glass or plastic). If the seal fails, you have to replace the expensive rubber ring. Replacing damaged glass on a sunroof costs much more. Such significant nuances justify choosing a washing machine with a vertical loading type.
All modern automatic washing machines easily cope with the tasks assigned to them. Therefore, the main selection criterion is the geometric parameters of the automatic machine. It is important for users whether the model can fit into the existing room. Top-loading washing units easily fit into even the smallest apartment. They also allow you to use your free space as efficiently as possible.
