Question: how much water does a top load washer use compared to a front load?
Answer: But front-loaders and high-efficiency top-loaders use far less water because the drum is moving them around, lifting them up, so they land in a shallower pool of water. How much less water? They tend to use around 13 gallons of water, while the top-loaders use up to 28. An older washing machine will use even more.
