Front-load washers are a type of washing machine that features a door on the front, allowing users to load and unload laundry easily. They use a horizontal drum that tumbles clothes, which helps to clean them more efficiently while using less water and energy compared to traditional top-load washers. These machines are known for their gentle washing action, making them suitable for delicate fabrics. Additionally, front-load washers often come with various wash cycles and settings, providing flexibility for different types of laundry. Their design also allows for stacking with dryers, saving space in smaller laundry areas.
