Top-loading washing machines are generally cheaper to buy, weigh less and wash a lot faster than front loaders, but they use a lot more water, are harsher on your clothes and generally don’t wash quite as well. Unlike front loaders which use gravity to wash your clothes, top loaders use a lot of water to float your clothes, then use either an impeller or agitator to move them about and wash them:
Agitators are a large, conical, screw-looking device which sticks up through the centre of the drum from its base. Agitators vigorously twist and turn to move your washing around. This removes dirt quickly, but can be rough on clothes.
Impellers are a raised disc on the bottom of your wash drum with ridges or vanes radiating from the centre to create turbulence in your wash water as it spins. Impellers tend to tangle clothes more than agitators, which means they may also go off-balance more frequently. They also generally use more water and energy than agitators, making them more expensive to run, but they also take up less room so you may get more capacity in a smaller appliance with an impeller.
Low-profile agitators are bigger than an impeller but smaller than a full-size agitator.
