ah..here we go again with top vs front loader.
btw ..front loader more atas, but in term of reliabiliity . i think top loader last longer cause from design perspective top loader tends to have less component. hence lower chance to fail.
btw i am considering to buy a washing machine too...
same dillemma..

front loader is like conti ..shiok but less reliable.
/ktard comment a bit pls..thanks.
