Front Load and Top Load have different operation method.

Generally, front load are better in laundry care and LG Direct Drive Front Load machines come with 6 motion wash pattern (their top load also have this similar 6 motion). I had the liberty of using both, and personally find the front load works better.

The LG Top Load, if it doesn't have lint filter (please avoid), as it is supposedly come with self cleaning lint filter but in reality lint do gets deposited elsewhere within the drum or drain pump and require cleaning.

So far we have been using LG FL from 2020 with no issues compared to an earlier Panasonic,
