Like currently moving to front loaders? Top loaders were once common in the UK, but I don't think I've seen one since the seventies, maybe eighties.

Top loaders are still common in Australia and New Zealand. They’re terrible, but they are cheaper than front loaders and are what many people are used to.

They are great for people like me who remember to put something in something just after I start running it.

Yes, currently. Right now it’s probably around 50/50. There are still many people who prefer the lower price and familiar design.

Last time I saw a top-loading washing machine was 1988 in a student flat!
