You are totally right, however, the OP might be concerned with water
and electricity usage (I was when I was shopping for a washer), which
are considerably lower with front loaders than with top loaders. Plus
front loaders take huge loads and cumbersome items better than top
loaders.

Unfortunately, if you run the numbers for water and electricity cost
you'll see that you will never pay back the higher cost of the front
loaders.

Oh, yes I will because I paid about $650 total for my front-load
washer/dryer set, which is about what anybody could easily pay for a
top-load washer/dryer set. Your point could apply to the really
expensive models that I already explained I didn't buy.
