If you look for easy-to-wear clothes after laundry, then front loader should beyour choice. It is because front loaders dry clothing right after laundry. It also has poaching function so is a perfect fit for a family with babies.

Front loaders are used more with European countries, due to more presence of hard water. Hard water contains calcium ions or magnesium ions in large amount, being harmful to kids suffering from atopy, and not easy to make bubbles with soap and so deteriorates washability. Thus, in Europe, for effective cleaning people started to do laundry with less amount of water and the trend naturally led to invention of small capacity washers. So the import washer brands including Miele, AEG, and Zanussi offer most of their models with 5kg capacity. And they use exclusive detergent for front-loaders.

Front loaders use falling impact to wash. Tank rotates 360 degrees to give drumming effect on laundry using small amount of water. It also can heat water and therefore has disinfective functino. Laundry, rinsing, dehydrating functions work in the same way as top loaders.

Advantages of front loaders(Drum type)

1. Poachable
2. Water temperature adjustable
3. Drying function
4. Less entanglement
5. Good washability
6. Less damage on laundry
7. Less amount of detergent and water used
8. Dehydration speed adjustable
9. Easy to take out laundry after finishing
10.Less noise


These advantages are especially useful in times of hot summer and rainy season. Foul odors occur due to a lot of sweat and piled up laundry. People get to do laundry more often but sunlight is insufficient to dry clothes during rainy season. But with top loaders, drying clothes crisply is possible.

Disadvantages of front loader(Drum type)

1. Small capacity
2. Expensive
3. Difficult to get after service for import brands
4. Exclusive detergents necessary
5. Long duration for laundry
6. Expensive electricity costs
7. Not available for big-sized laundry

Domestic market has introduced 7.5kg capacity washer due to the above disadvantages. With 5-6kg washers,washing thin blankets is available but large ones such as curtains or thick blankets are not available for laundry. And expensive price is mainly due to vibrator inside. Bodies are made with metal to prevent vibration inside and because of this anti-vibrator manufacturing cost has risen up, and difficult to produce in big size.

Front loaders are stronger in terms of purchasing power than top loaders, but they are compared in price. For example, LGD's front loader (WD-861RD) is capable of drying up to 3Kg of laundry with a washing capacity of 6.5kg. In addition to the drying function, it also has four temperature control functions from cold water to 95 ° C. However, the drum washing machine with the drying function is expensive from 300,000 to 600,000 won more than the ordinary washing machine, so the price is burdensome. In addition, currently imported foreign products are more expensive, usually about 1 million won, and AEG's Eco-Rabatmart 88830 product is worth more than 2.5 million won.

Front loaders can heat water up to 95℃ so it is especially useful when one should often do disinfective laundry often. It is therefore important to consider type of laundry and frequency when buying front loaders. When one often does laundry with big-sized ones, then he will regret to purchase a front loader.

There are individual differences in using front loaders. For example, disadvantage of small capacity may not matter at all to families with small laundry. It is therefore important to consider family type and also the laundry type when deciding what to purchase.
