Types of Washers

Conventional Washers

With a conventional agitator-style washer, clothing is completely submerged in water and an agitator moves the laundry back and forth to loosen soils.

Front-load High-efficiency Washers

Front-loading washers use a tumbler system, rather than an agitator. The laundry tumbles back and forth through a shallow pool of water, as the tub rotates clockwise and then counterclockwise moving the water and detergent through each garment and removing soils. Front-loading washers use low-water levels in the wash and rinse.
