Front-loading washing machines are designed with a door on the front, allowing users to load laundry from the front rather than the top. This design typically offers a larger capacity, making it easier to wash bulky items like blankets and comforters. These machines use less water and energy compared to traditional top-loaders, as they rely on a tumbling action to clean clothes. Additionally, front-loaders often have advanced features, such as multiple wash cycles and higher spin speeds, which help reduce drying time and improve cleaning efficiency.
