I have a Fisher & Paykel top loader that equals or exceeds the

Glad you like your FP.

Unfortunately, the hard data collected by Consumer Reports and shown at

http://www.greenerchoices.org/ratings.cfm?product=washer&orderbyw=OverallScore_D ESC&ordersetw=ASC,ASC,DESC,DESC,ASC,DESC#Cat2

supports my statement. Note the 20th best front loader listed had a total score
of 69, whereas the best top loader was 75. The only FP top load model listed had
a score of 63.
