Well there’s a longer lever in there somewhere. But physics wasn’t my strongest subject. 😆
This has set me wondering how big the centrifugal forces are compared to the gravitational one, particularly in reference to front vs. top loader.

well it was those gorenje wa61111s that first made me wonder, they are really shallow in drum depth, and we replaced an indesit with one about 3 years ago at a vets. this has already surpassed the indesit by about 16 months in lifespan, and its on 5-6 times a day 5-6 times a week and the drum is still a1. no play at all or noise.

Sounds like the way to go!

That’ll be me, then.

f2b = Front to back.
