You may want to take note of a few things.

  • 1. Energy saving washers come at a price. I’m all for saving the earth and being green but higher purchase cost, complex design, and shorter expected life spans are a few things you should be aware of before making your next purchase.
  • 2. In addition to saving water, energy saving washers spin much faster thantraditional top loading washing machines.  This greatly reduces the time needed to dry a load of clothing. (Additional Energy Savings)
