Yeah. Front loaders are the norm here in Europe because many people stack their dryer on top of their washer and that’s why they need to the door to be in the front. Apart from that, I think Miele is superior to any other brand, they last a very long time and a energy and water efficient while being soft on your clothes. I also love the (top line of) Bosch, which lasts you 15+ years easily while being relatively affordable.
