[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 483696, member: 11791"] I've had top-load old-style agitator, and front-load HE. Both were top models. Both get top marks, for different reasons. I'd never go to a front-load with babies in cloth diapers... or if I had lots of blankets and such to wash. Load size in the top-load was significantly more. But... I'm getting a better "clean" with front-load, without extra steps (took two extra rinces plus a rince agent, in top-load). And less wear on fabric. I can't see how a top-load HE can give the same clean as the front-load HE. Part of the theory is that the clothes and the water all collect at the bottom of the machine... and then as it turns, the clothes gently fall to the bottom (rather than getting smashed around with an agitator). If the clothes don't go "up", they can't come "down"... so it changes the whole dynamic. [/QUOTE]
