Front Loader all the way.

Key points -

• leave the door on them open when they are not in use/after washing
• Don't leave wet laundry in them for more than half a day
• They use less water and get your clothes dryer
• they require less detergent per load
• Don't use fabric softener in them, vinegar in the prewash works just as well
• easier to load and unload
• stackable to save floor space
