    Huh… I have a top loader and grew up with one so it’d never occur to me this is needed, since with a top loader there’s no reason to close it, it doesn’t get in the way by being open

    I’m glad I saw this thread, if I ever have a front loader now I’ll know to leave it open :)

      If you ever need a new one, front loaders tend to fit more and I believe they’re more efficient too. Plus if a top loader grenades itself, it might be a pain to get your laundry out if the drum doesn’t move anymore. Front loaders are more expensive though.
