Advantages

Loading: This is the main difference between both these types of washing machines. The front loading design fits inside a cabinet and can be operated keeping it there itself because there is no need to open the lid as opposed to the traditional top loading design of washers.

Energy Usage: The most important feature of the front load washers is that they are designed to work utilizing very low energy, and more so in comparison with the other kinds. As a result, these washing machines are highly fuel (energy) efficient and thus environment friendly too. That is why the front load washers are used in the laundromats.

Water Requirement: The biggest advantage of a front load washer is that you do not have to worry about the water usage as it requires very less water, probably as same as what you require while hand washing your clothes.

Spins: This is a technical factor that appeals to most of the consumers. The front load washers can rotate up to 1000 RPM (rotations per minute) as opposed to a mere 600 rpm (approximately) of the top loading variety.

Cleaning: Cleaning the inside of the front load washer is very easy compared to the spinning mechanism of the top loader. And as far as the clothes are concerned you can rest assured that they will not tear or become worn out. Thanks to the tumbling mechanism. So this lessens your washing machine troubleshooting issues too.

Disadvantages

Costly: First and foremost is that it cleans your pocket too along with the clothes that follow the front load washer i.e., it is not cheap. It costs a lot more than the other type of washing machines.

Door Lock: Secondly, two practical issues... Once the door's closed, it's closed. I mean, you don't have choice if you find some garment lying around after you instruct the machine to start its work. You will have to wait until the next time.

Non-Ergonomic: If you have a back problem or knee problem, this machine will give you little trouble with the loading and taking the clothes out. But you can always use a stool and make yourself comfortable. So this disadvantage is taken care of.

Special Detergent: Last but definitely not the least, although the machine won't increase your electricity bill it sure will cost u a bit for investing in the specific detergent type to be used, as recommended by the manufacturers.
