You don't lose the items but they do turn green for some reason. Some people have theorised this is because they're taking the piss. |

| 811462 | 2009-09-18 22:57:00 | When we first arrived in NZ in 1990 we thought the plane had gone through a time warp. We hadn't seen top loaders since we were little. You couldn't even get a front loader here at that time. We've had 2 top loaders. The first lasted about 12 years, the second barely made it out of it's 2 year warranty. The washing was never as clean as we were use to. We've now had a front loader for about 8 years, it's never missed a beat & the clothes etc always come out clean & fresh & dryer than a top loader + you don't need your own water reservoir to run it | Phil B (648) | ||
| 811463 | 2009-09-18 23:55:00 | I got a new washing machine recently and reviewed top vs front loader machines. Front loader Pros * Water efficient * More gentle on clothes * Better at cleaning * You can stack your dryer on top (good for those with limited space) Cons *Cannot do small loads *May not rinse well so if you have sensitive skin there may be residue wash powder in your clothes *Generally take much longer to complete a cycle *Generally more expensive Top loader Pros *Can do small loads or interrupt the cycle to add more stuff *Faster to complete cycle *Rinses clothes well *Better priced Cons *Can be rough on the clothing *Not as water efficient Most machines have a cut off if the load gets unbalanced. Many will automatically re-adjust the balance of the load by adding water and doing a quick agitate. I got a top loader in the end, but went with a more energy/water efficient model. *Cannot do small loads What a load of crap. Of course you can do small loads. *May not rinse well so if you have sensitive skin there may be residue wash powder in your clothes How does it not rinse well ? The problem is not the washing machine but the choice and amount of powder you put in the machine. |

The problem is not the washing machine but the choice and amount of powder you put in the machine.Front loaders are water efficient - they use less water to wash and rinse your load. The more water you use when rinsing, the less residue you may get. I agree if you use too much detergent, then this will cause a problem in any washing machine. My comments were from what I've read, mainly in the consumer magazine reviews. |
