There are four top-loader brands of washing machines available here. They are, Sears Kenmore, Amana, Frigidaire and Whirlpool.In the U.S, you get Maytag and General Electric as well.
The front-loader brands available here are, Asko and White-Westinghouse.
What we have here is Gibson Top load washer, which is warrented by Frigidaire company , a division of White Consolidated Industries, Inc.
The warranty period is for two years.It pays all costs for repairing or replacing any parts of this appliance which prove to be defective in workmanship.
The top-loading design does a satisfactory job. Top-loaders are the big sellers in this country.They are roomy and relatively inexpensive.They have lids that open up .
Front loaders are more expensive. But, they use water much more efficiently as compared to the other one.They dont hold as big a load though! These have doors which open down.
Top-loaders have been found to be very reliable, after testing the washing ability of both. The most economical way to wash is with a full load.This is offered by the top-loaders.I find this feature very practical with the top loaders. So, a top-loading washer would be a wise choice when you go for buying a washing machine.
Top- of -the line washers with fancy electronics and specialized settings do not provide good value. You dont have to go for a machine loaded with unnecessary features. A three cycle, two-speed model with the choice of three water levels should be ample for most chores.You must look for controls that are clearly labelled, logically arranged and easy to push and turn.
