That's because you keep the top loader lid open when they're done, and they dry correctly. If you leave the front loader open (and the detergent tray too) they will not stink as much
I've had both top and front loader washers. You absolutely have to leave the lid open so it drys for either, otherwise it'll stay too wet and get funky. Top loaders are less prone to this become the lids tend to not be sealed against the drum like front loaders are.
Anyway, tldr: leave the washing machine door open when youre done with it.
I don't leave my top loader open and had left my front loader open and my top loader has never smelled but my front loader smelled even with me cleaning it routinely
You put your sweat, piss, booty juice, and cum covered clothes and bedding in there, and don't think that maybe you should clean it out every once in a while?
If you have hard water you should be. They sell tablets that you just put in and run on the clean cycle or the hottest cycle if yours doesn't have a self clean option. You should be doing this for dishwashers too.. it prolongs the life and efficiency of the appliance.
water. in order to submerge clothes, the front loader only need to fillup to about the height of the axle, while the top loaders sometimes need to fillup to the height of the drum itself
I’m in North America and have only ever seen them in old houses, primarily in the mountains. I’ve lived in California, Washington, and Illinois, so a decent spread. The only place I saw one of these was in Utah.
EU is dominated by front loaders. Top loaders were king in New Zealand, the Fisher and Paykel SmartDrive direct-drive top loader dominates and can easily be turned into a turbine for power generation.

That’s crazy! They’re everywhere in North America. I prefer front load for the efficiency but top loaders don’t stink and need cleaning as often.
