The main difference between front-load and top-load washing machines is that the former cleans items in a tumbling motion rather than a twisting motion. Tumbling works faster, harder, and better at removing stains, odor, and grime, per Howard's. Unfortunately, front-load washers are more susceptible to mold and mildew because it's more difficult for water to evaporate.
On the bright side, many current front-load models feature special self-cleaning settings, which makes routine cleaning a one-step job! If your front-load washer isn't equipped with a self-cleaning tool, then you'll have to do it the old way, aka by hand.
