What is it about the front load washers that makes then twice the price of

I'm trying to cut through the sales talk. Are they actually "better"? If
so, what do they do that the top load units don't?

Apart from more valuable considerations that others have mentioned,
you can store stuff on top of them.

Are they high enough so that you don't have to bend over to unload it?
