FAQs

1. What’s the difference between agitator and impeller top load washers?

Top load washing machines come with either an agitator or an impeller.

Agitator: These machines have a pole in the centre of the drum that moves your clothes around during the wash and spin cycle. Agitator models have minimal vibration and much shorter wash cycles which are perfect for people with busy lifestyles. Agitator models are generally lower in price compared to front load washers. The agitator is what decreases the capacity in a top loader, so if you are after a machine that can take more in a load, consider an impeller top loader or a front loader.

Impeller: The newer type of top loaders, called 'High Efficiency' top loading washers. The impeller is a propeller-like device at the bottom of the drum and moves the water to wash your clothes. Machines with an impeller have a higher load capacity, making it easier to clean bulky items. These types of machines function like a front loader, so regular wash cycle times are longer than models with an agitator. These machines use less water than top loaders with an agitator, reducing your water usage and potentially your water bill making them an eco washing machine option.

2. Are top loader washing machines more affordable than front loaders?

Yes, top loader washing machines are typically cheaper upfront than front loaders. They’re also easier to maintain, faster to run, and don’t require bending over to load and unload. While front loaders may offer better long-term energy savings, top loaders are a great choice for anyone seeking value, speed, and convenience.

3. Do top loaders support large wash loads?

Absolutely. Bing Lee stocks top load washing machines that can handle up to 20kg, making them ideal for families or anyone who prefers fewer, larger washes. High-efficiency models with impellers also offer better use of space inside the drum, so you can fit more into every cycle.

4. What if I want a space-saving alternative to a top loader?

If stacking or saving space is your priority, consider a Front Load Washer or explore an all-in-one WashTower. These models are ideal for small laundry rooms or apartments where every inch counts, while still offering great performance and design.
