Water leakage
Top loading machines are less prone to leakage. Front loading machines require a seal on the front door, and of course the front door must be latched during operation to prevent opening, lest large amounts of water spill out. This seal may leak or require replacement. Many current front-loaders, though, can be stopped and added to or removed from, by way of keeping the water level in the horizontal tub below the door level.

Energy usage
Front loaders use less energy, water and detergent and clean more effectively than the best top loaders.

Water usage
Front loaders generally use less water than top-loading residential clothes washers. Estimates are front loaders use anywhere from about one third  to one half  as much as top loaders.

Compactness
Front loading machines may be installed underneath counters. A front loading washing machine, in a fully-fitted kitchen, may even be disguised as an ordinary base cabinet/unit. They may also be convenient in homes with limited floor area, since the dryer may be installed directly above the washer.

Spin-dry effectiveness
Front loaders also offer much higher spin drying speeds of up to 2000 RPM. This makes it possible to dry clothes very quickly by hanging them on  or airing racks or can substantially reduce the length of time required in a tumble dryer.

Noise
Front loaders tend to operate more quietly than top loaders, since there is less of a tendency to imbalance.

Accessibility and Ergonomics
Front loaders are more convenient for little people and those in wheelchairs, as the controls are front-mounted and the horizontal drum eliminates the need for standing and/or climbing.

For people who are sufficiently tall and can stand, top-loaders may be easier to load and unload, since reaching into the tub does not require stooping. However, this issue can be mitigated due to the offering of risers (usually with storage drawers underneath) to raise the front loader door opening closer to the user’s level.

Would you like to air dry more of your clothing but prefer not to try to beat the weather? Some areas of the USA and Canada have more cold or wet months than dry or warm which makes air-drying very difficult. A neat little invention for this kind of situation is the ceiling mounted urban clothesline.

Classic Ceiling Mounted Clothesline

This is not a new concept; really, people have been hanging clothing indoors for centuries. You may have even hung your stockings or personal clothing over your shower rod to dry recently.

Tips

When using a clothes line of any type you want to keep these few tips in mind to maximize efficiency. Store clothespins in a bag inside, rusty clothespins are not conducive to clean laundry and if you are using an inside clothesline open a window or too to maximize airflow.
