I had a front loader that I loved. But we sold that set with the house, so we needed a new set. Our laundry room set-up would have meant that front-loading washer and dryer doors would open into each other.
At first I was leary of going back to a top-loading washer, because my front-loader spun the clothes out so well. But we bought the top of the line and it has no agitating cone. This way, I can cram it full of clothes. It spins the clothes out just as good as the front-loader.
We bought the matching top-loading dryer, and the pair is awsome!
