Front-don't like it at all, especially since we began doing cloth. I'd love to have a top loader that can be used as a wet pail.

Cheap-o top loader that came with the apartment. I'm scared to see what we get when we move.

I've had both and feel like the front loader is more gentle on the diapers by quite a bit, but also takes longer!

Front loader. Saves water/money and still gets my diapers as clean as my ol top loader (for the past two years)!

Top loader and doubt that I will switch while I'm a CD'er! They sound like a headache!

A TL but it's an HE TL so it's still a pain in the neck at times with CD laundry.
