The selection of the right washing machine, however, plays a very important role, because in addition to a thorough and gentle washing, it should also be water and energy-saving. In general, the washing machines are equipped with a porthole for filling, which is located in front. However, there are also machines that can be filled directly from above. This is particularly advantageous if only a limited space for a washing machine is available. To get the secret of the so-called top loader on the track, we have a well-designed Top loader comparison created.

For a household with one or two people that is, according to various Toploader testimonials by customers, usually quite sufficient.
