I believe that the concept of how front loader washers use less water is very simple.

Water falls to the bottom. Rotating on a horizontal axis makes all the clothes go through the water, ever if there isn't a lot in there.

On a standard washer, which spins on a vertical axis, the only way to rotate all the clothes through the water is to fill the water level all the way up to the top of the clothes.

That might be twice as much water!


TIP: Since front loading washers have a water-tight seal on the door, don't always close them all the way, then the water inside can evaporate instead of getting "funky" smells in there!
