It depends on wether ot not you are on a water meter. The top loader requires far more water for a wash than a front loader, however the stress on front loader bearings and suspension is far greater than on the top loader.

I will quote you a reply I got from a colleague who has been in the trade for almost 40 years, his firm employ 15 engineers doing a large amount of contract work, including LG appliances. I was asking him his opinion on the LG machines.
"On these the weights come loose, the suspension legs have been upgraded and the pump although £43.00 to buy trade is little more than a £3.50 askol. On top of that the suspension pins come out of the units and they do suffer from vibration unless the load is perfect.
other than that they are mediocre "
The increase in many manufacturers machines under 2 years old that are BER'd has increased dramatically in the past couple of years.
