Do you dread laundry day with a passion every time your drawers are looking bare and your closet is filled with empty hangers?
If so, you're certainly not alone. While doing laundry is an inevitable part of life, it's something that you can make more tolerable with a couple practical upgrades. In fact, top-load washers and top-load dryers can be life-changing!
Basically all dryers are front-loading by design, so what we mean by "top-load dryer" is a dryer that aesthetically matches the appearance of its accompanying top-load washer and comes as a set.
Convenience with a Built-In Sink
If you're debating between a top-load and front load washer, consider the possibilities of a built-in sink. Many people have found that they use the built-in sink feature a whole lot more than they ever expected especially when there are kids in the house.
Built-in sinks on top-load washers are great for pretreating and presoaking clothes with stains. Say goodbye to the days when you had to haul dripping-wet clothes across the room to the washing machine. The powerful water jet of a built-in washer sink will get those stains right out with no problem.
The Whirlpool Smart Top-Load Washer is a good model to look at for this feature because it has a built-in water faucet and fabric brush to create a pre-treat station on top of the wash basket. Soak, scrub and wash in one convenient location-- it doesn't get much easier than that!
We also love the Samsung Top-Load Washer's built-in faucet for soaking away tough stains, as well as a mist shower to rinse away detergent residue for the cleanest clothes ever.
More Thorough Cleaning with an Agitator
All washers offer pretty much the same level of clean, right? Nope, not at all!
Some washing machines have agitators while others do not. So, which one is the best type to get? Top-load washers with agitators offer enhanced washing action to guide fabrics through the wash cycle and give them a gentle, deep clean.
The agitator moves back and forth to rub clothes against it and break apart stains. While this might sound dangerously harsh for your delicate clothes, there is actually very little risk of damaging clothes with a modern agitator. This top-load washer feature offers superior cleaning performance, which is really important if your clothes are often stained from playtime in the backyard, an awesome backcountry hike or a productive day of landscaping around the house.
Clean More with a Larger Capacity Machine
When it comes to laundry machines, bigger capacity can definitely be a better thing. With top-load washers and top-load dryers, you can choose ultra-large volume options to get more done with your laundry routine.
For example, the LG Top-Load Washer with TurboWash3D™ Technology has a massive six cubic feet of capacity so that you can even wash a king-size comforter AND a full set of bedding in a single load. You can save so much time on laundry days by doing bigger loads and waiting around less for cycles to wash and dry as the minutes tick by.
Meanwhile, you can also find large-capacity dryers that are able to handle all of the clothes you just washed in your large-capacity washing machine so that nothing is damp after the cycle ends or requires an extra cycle to finish off your laundry day.
Benefit from Deep Fill Capabilities
Another reason to upgrade your laundry situation is to reap the benefits of deep fill machines. Deep fill laundry machines break down and rinse away tough messes by filling the machine with extra water and using a robust wash action to tackle your worst spills and stains.
This means no more stressing out about that mishap that you thought ruined your favourite shirt or pair of pants. Live life worry-free with confidence that no spill is beyond what your new top-loader can do.
Choosing Your New Top-Load Washer Dryer
The Brick has lots of single washers, single dryers and washer-dryer pairs to choose from if it's time for an upgrade or replacement. Top-loading machines aren't for every household, but they are an excellent and popular choice among many homeowners for the reasons mentioned above.
Isn't life too short to waste any more time than you really need to on laundry? We think so!
