A washing machine isn’t just a household appliance that may sometimes come to our aid. Washing machines have become an integral part of our lives. As we continue to toil away, busy finishing our office work, or fending for ourselves against the torrential rains when we do get one or two hours of free time during the day when we have to take care of our shopping and grocery needs, we require assistance and machine intervention wherever possible.

One wouldn’t have imagined that working from home could be more difficult than working inside a cubicle at the office, but we are now aware of how difficult things can get when we have to properly maintain the balance between our work life and our personal life, especially when our work life overlaps with our personal life.

It is thus imperative that we purchase a washing machine that removes the burden of washing clothes off our shoulders. We require a machine that is not only capable of washing clothes properly but is also designed as per our needs and requirements. 

While we know about fully-automatic washing machines and semi-automatic washing machines, it is important to understand the difference between loading types, mainly top-loaders and front-loaders. If you do not know the difference between the two, but have certain limitations either money-wise or space-wise, here is why a top-loader might be the better option for you.

Tight Budget

When it comes to washing machines, consumers have to choose between features and budget. While it is true that front loading washing machines inherently come with more features, they are more expensive than top-loading washing machines. 

Furthermore, brands like Samsung, Whirlpool, and LG, in an effort to offer a better washing experience, have unveiled some of the best washing machines in India that happen to be top-loading models. A couple of examples include the Samsung WA62M4100HY 6.2Kg Top-Load Fully Automatic Washing Machine and LG 6.5 kg Inverter Fully-Automatic Top-Load Washing Machine.

You can buy the best washing machine in India that is a top-loading model for less than Rs. 20,000. You could even purchase one for less than Rs. 15,000 if you are looking for relatively less load capacity. Thus, if you are on a tight budget, but don’t want to compromise on the quality of the washing machine, a top-loading fully automatic washing machine can prove to be the ideal appliance.

Portability

For Indian households, space is often a constraint while buying a new appliance. Whether it is while buying a new refrigerator, or purchasing a new washing machine, we have to think about the place where we want to put the washer, and the dimensions of the washing machine need to be considered as well. When we talk about a front-loading washing machine, these are usually installed or left in one particular place, which could pose a problem in the modern, compact houses.

This problem could easily be solved by purchasing a top-loading washing machine, as these are portable and often come with caster wheels. You do not have to put the washing machine in one place during the washing process at all times and can move it around according to your convenience.

Ease of Loading

Considering the fact that you have to load clothes into the washing machine from the top while using a top-loading washing machine, it provides greater convenience and ease of loading. While using a front-load washer, users have to bend down in order to load clothes into the washer, which could be an issue for the elderly or those that suffer from back pain. While this might not seem like a major issue for some, it could cause physical pain and joint pain for a lot of people.

Top load washing machines today also come with top-of-the-line features and the latest technology, as top brands like Samsung, LG, Bosch, Haier, and Whirlpool offer impressive models at affordable prices. 

Furthermore, you don’t have to pay the entire amount upfront while purchasing a new washing machine. Instead, you can buy new washing machines on EMIs by using a credit card or the Bajaj Finserv EMI Network Card and repay the amount in convenient monthly installments.
