Efficiency

• Don't let the fact that Sears model 70 units are top loaders fool you. They're still as energy efficient as most modern front loaders, in large part because you can operate them using gas. As an older series, they come with a cheaper price tag than more recent models, thereby boosting cost-efficiency as well.
  
  

Power

• Parents with active children have long revered the Sears model 70 series washer as a rugged, heavy-duty machine capable of removing tough stains, lending to its reputation as a "workhorse." Families also appreciate that these units wield a quiet power, running unobtrusively in the background without any irritating noises. Moreover, a moisture sensor in the Sears model 70 series dryers helps conserve power.
  
  

Capacity

• All of the Sears model 70 series washers and dryers are large-capacity units, with the drums on some of the extra-capacity units as large as 6.8 cubic feet. This increases the efficiency of doing laundry overall by reducing the amount of loads needed to complete the chore.
