How do high-efficiency washing machines work?
Most water-efficient washing machines are front-loading, although there are a few redesigned top-loading models. These front-loading models are putting a new spin on laundry. They lack a central agitator and tumble clothes like a dryer. The cleaning occurs as clothes are tumbled through the pool of water at the bottom of the tub and then clothes are partially dried during a high-speed spin cycle, saving your water, energy, clothing, space, money, and environment. Read on to see how.
