Pretty much until the 2000's the only front loaders we had were those stackable combos, often seen in apartments and other small spaces. White-Westinghouse was the dominant brand. I hardly saw any others, though a place we stayed out on vacation last year had a GE combo that was maybe 20-25 years old. Of course, in the US we always had space and plenty of water (in most places) so a top loader made sense. Nowadays front loaders are trendy and most folks consider them desirable. I've never used one myself; my 1990 model GE top loader still works well enough. Top loaders have a real price advantage, too.
