Top loaders tend to run like this
Basic no-frill models manual controls $400-$650
Advanced models no agitator electronic controls larger tubs $650-$999
Front-loaders
Base models no steam smaller capacity 3.5-4.0 $649-$799
Steam 4.2 and larger, more advanced cycles and smart controls $800-$1299
That is the average range. I personally have used a front loader for almost 20 years and won’t go back. I feel they wash better and are more convenient to use. When I do the laundry, and that’s rare
