Washing machines are of two types: front-load and top-load. While you can buy either, many prefer top-load units as they do not have to bend over when unloading or loading the laundry. You also have a clearer view of the drum. Moreover, many top-load washing machines come with advanced technology and features, making laundry cleaning easier. So, if you need a new washing machine, here are some top-load options to consider buying.

Whirlpool 5.2 – 5.3 Cu. Ft. Top Load Washer with 2-in-1 Removable Agitator
This smart machine caters to buyers interested in impeller and agitator-style washing. Its snap-in center agitator can be removed if you need to wash delicate items with the impeller plate or make space for a bulky load of blankets. Such a two-in-one design is rare in top-load washing machines, thus increasing the model’s value. With the agitator in place, the washer offers 5.2 cubic feet of room inside its basket; when removed, the capacity increases by 0.1 cubic feet.

Besides a versatile design, this Whirlpool machine has several exciting features, such as eleven pre-set cycle options and 36 unique cycle combinations to achieve a clean load. What’s more? An in-built Wi-Fi lets you use the Whirlpool app to ensure your next laundry load starts at a specified time and you get updates on the ongoing cycle. Further, an in-built faucet pre-treats the stains, helping you quickly clean clothes that need handwashing only. You can shop for this model at $1,299.
