Interesting fact, any more info onto why this is the case?

Hey thank you very much for the tip...... Thank you very much for your frequent tips...

I love your tips! I actually need a new washing machine -- and I honestly had no idea that they saved that much water.. That's great. Thanks for sharing!

Do people really still use top washing machines?

thanks for the tip. just in time cause I'm planning to buy new washing machine. I will definitely take note of that.

Going Green, I'm not sure myself, but it's definitely something worth looking into!

Techno, Van, Laura, glad the tip was useful to you :)

Jordans, actually, we still have a top loading machine here. When we bought it a few years ago we couldn't afford to front loading ones, and didn't know about the water savings at the time.

Interesting fact. Nice tip for somebody who needs new washing machine :)

Front loading washing machines are not a new concept; they have long been used in commercial laundries. They have only been practical for home use, though, for a few years. Most department and home improvement stores now carry at least one, and usually several, models.
