Top loaders are very rare in the UK. Partly tradition and partly because they cannot be fitted under worktops. Not too many UK homes have the space for the luxury of a separate laundry/utility room.

My Bosch front loader is 21 years old and still working very well. I doubt that many modern washers will last that long. When you're spending £200/$300 it's not going to pay for a long lasting machine. Nor is it going to be worth repairing when it goes wrong.

My understanding is that to get high energy and water efficiency ratings something has to give. That something is length of wash cycle. A few expensive machines (Miele comes to mind) have a short wash cycle that is claimed to work well.
