Back when I purchased there was top load only. Front load works better in a commercial application where the machine is bolted down. Understand the Fisher evenly distributes the clothes before the spin out cycle.
Most people also don't understand agitation in the cleaning process. What they assume is their clothes are dirty after x amount of wears because of odour primarily.
Agitation should only ever be used in cleaning when the garment is soiled. Odour is usually killed by water temperature and the steam process. Mostly a high steam will kill bacteria which causes odour.
So for example, most people will have their dress shirts dry-cleaned. Here they are subjected to a chemical which removes soil without subjection to water or extreme agitation. However, the chemical is only be used to dissolve or bond with and remove dirt.
For my personal shirts, I personally spot clean dirt stains and use hi-test boiler steam to press and kill odour on the shirt which extends the life. I do not wash nor dry clean them, unless there is extreme dirt or soil.
So I find the conversation of front or top load only related to space available if you are trying to stack your cleaning equipment. The Paykal will let you avoid the agitator step in a lot of cases for more delicates. For a home machine front load won't be sophisticated enough to agitate properly and then it can't distribute the load properly to get maximum spin out. In my mind you are agitating 1/4 of your clothes (undies and personals). Then you are running small agitating loads like an extra dirty shirt etc. Mostly you are soaking in soap and spinning out, which is a huge electrical saving in the washer operation and drying operation.
My two cents * two many words.
