Front-load washers have become an increasingly popular option in recent years, largely due to the many advantages they provide.</p> <p><strong>Increased efficiency</strong><br>A front-load washer uses roughly one-third the amount of water, detergent and energy that a top-load washer uses. Besides reducing the environmental impact of washing your clothes, this decreases the amount of money you’ll spend on detergent and utilities.</p> <p><strong>Better cleaning</strong><br>Whereas a top-load washer requires an agitator to clean clothes, a front-load washer’s sideways orientation creates natural agitation thanks to the effects of gravity. Besides being gentler on your clothes, this makes for better cleaning. In fact, front-load washers routinely outperform top-load models in cleaning tests. </p> <p><strong>Faster spin cycle</strong><br>Because front-load washers are capable of faster spin cycles, your clothes will come out slightly drier, which reduces the amount of work your dryer has to do. </p> <p><strong>Stackability</strong><br>Front-load washers offer the option of stacking a dryer on top, as opposed to the traditional side-to-side arrangement. Given the tight floor plans found in many California homes and apartments, this vertical stackability can be a valuable space saver. </p> <p><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/" target="_self">Use Diamond Certified Resource to find top rated companies</a></p> <p><strong>Local, Top Rated Diamond Certified Companies Related to Your Topic</strong><br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/marin-appliance-showrooms/" target="_self">Marin County Appliance Showrooms</a><br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/contra-costa-appliance-repairs/" target="_self">Contra Costa County Appliance Repair Companies</a><br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/sonoma-appliance-repairs/" target="_self">Sonoma County Appliance Repair Companies</a><br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/alameda-county-appliance-repairs/" target="_self">Alameda County Appliance Repair Companies</a> </p> <p><strong>Related Articles</strong><br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/Guide/clothes-and-shoes/" target="_self">The Essential Guide to Clothes & Shoes</a><br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/find-expert-advice/" target="_self">Get Expert Advice From Owners of Top</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/find-expert-advice/" target="_self">Rated Local</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/find-expert-advice/" target="_self">Companies</a><br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/membership/" target="_self">Become a Diamond Certified Preferred Member (Always Free)</a> </p>
