Front loaders have a sanitize cycle that is great for diapers. Front loaders get clothes a lot cleaner, use much less water , and are easier on your clothes. I think the front loader saves money. Stains come out easier and clothes are less damaged, not to mention less water and soap. All these things save you money and make you look better. I had a top loader for years and purchased the front loader a couple years ago. I love the front loader. It is much quieter
. We have an LG, my aunt has Whirlpool, and my daughter has a little Kenmore. Both the LG and Whirlpool are good. The Kenmore had some bad reviews, but the machine works fine just have to leave door open for machine to dry out otherwise it will smell. She had to get the little Kenmore because it was only thing that would fit in her little closet. The front loaders are quite a bit larger and heavier then the top loaders. I highly recommend you have them delivered, because the washer is quite heavy. Make sure you have enough room if you get a front loader.
