Top loaded washing machines
prices on 9 modelsTop loaded
— with top loading, the laundry is loaded into the machine from above. Such models require less space since to open the door you need free space above the machine, and not in front of it, and are well suited for cramped living conditions. However, with the same price, they tend to have fewer features and a smaller drum capacity than front loaded ones. In addition, this is the only type of loading found in semiautomatic machines (see the relevant paragraph).
