Top-load washers might have nostalgia factor for some, but many are embracing the latest development in laundry—the front-load washer.
Front-loaders have come a long way since their inception: Modern models run more efficiently and get clothes cleaner when compared to top-loaders. Best of all, most front-load washers embrace both form and function, and often have neat features and beautiful finishes to complement their strong cleaning performance.
Once you've decided to buy (or replace) a front-load washer, the next step is to actually pick one out. The process of actually selecting a front-loader can be overwhelming since every major appliance manufacturer makes at least one front-load washer. That's where we come in: We've compiled a list of the best front-load washers available on the market today.
