They use a lot less water then the old washers do, and they usually take longer to do a load. I have a top load Kenmore/whirlpool 28102 and am quite happy with it. Saves me a bunch on my water bill, is very quiet, and cleans better then my old 90 direct drive Whirlpool.
If water is expensive in your part of the world and you can afford a quality built machine it will save you money no matter what style you buy.
Hard to say if they'll last as long as the old school ones though.

Washing clothing is dependent on a few different things:
- Time duration and harshness of mechanical washing action
- Water Temperature
- Water Volume
- Chemical Action

If you can imagine, a pie chart with all of these factors which come into play.

Since HE machines use less water and colder water temperatures, the other factors, such as chemical action and mechanical washing action must be increased to compensate to allow for the same amount of cleaning action.

I won't debate Non-HE vs HE washing here.

What I will say is that most front loading washing machines on the market are HE by default because they tend to use less water, soap and fabric softener than other types of machines.

I can't think of any front-loading machine that isn't HE, in all honesty.

The pie chart is:
- Time
- Temperature
- Mechanical action
- Chemical enviroment

Water is NOT on its own. Water is part of mechanical action. It acts as medium that transports forces.
You can quickly see that time influences with chemical and physical action.
Heat interacts with chemical and mechanical action as well.
