Yes and another vote to front loader too. Even fully automatic top loaders require a good 1-2 bar pressure now days if you want to fill the drum up in time. If it takes too long to fill the drum, some machines give an error (like my LG) and refuse to do anything. I say for LG top loaders minimum 1 bar is required. If going to install a pump install a 1 HP pump. 1/2 HP is just very close to 1 bar pressure. 1 HP will fill up the tub quite fast.
If there are senior users esp ladies in the house, top loader is the only way. Front loaders will increase backpains. Have used all 3 types - top, front & now defunct "vertical agitator." I will never buy a front loader.
