Do front load washers save money?

Wonder if a front load washer is will save you money?

Though because of its design you won’t be able to fill it yourself using rain water, it will save you plenty of water. A front load washer uses 13-17 gallons of water per load compared to a whopping 55 gallons used by the average top load.

After the rinse cycle, a front load washing machine spins at 700rpms, extracting water at the same time. This cuts drying time, saving you money on heating.

The proof of course is at the end of the month. My sister’s August electric bill in the steamy Southeast was $30 less. That’s significant and doesn’t even include what they saved on water.

Conclusion: A front load washer will save you money while conserving water and energy. It’s a win-win go green.

If you own a front load washing machine, we’d love to hear from you. Email us your story.

Wow - that is a significant savings!($30 for one month). Thanks for the tip, it will certainly influence my selection when I purchase a new washer.
