Top load washers seem to have made a comeback!
Back in 2017 I was in the market for a new washer. There were almost no top loaders available in Home Depot, you had to hunt to find them, and the options weren't great. (The Roper TL with agitator probably would probably have been fine.) I special-ordered a SQ TL from an appliance store.
In late December 2020, we made a trip to Home Depot, and it's about 50/50 top load/front load washers now. The TLs are right out front and easy to find! And although there are some wash plate models, I was pleased to see quite a few with central agitators.
So at least in Washington state, top loaders seem to be back in fashion. Is it the same elsewhere in the US?
