Over here top loaders are cheap, starting at around $200 but front loaders still command quite a premium. They start at about $600 and go up from there. An imported brand is usually around $1000+ so it's well worth repairing.

How odd, exactly the opposite here, tho these days top loaders are pretty rare , top loaders are less economical and as most UK households have their washer in the kitchen it has to fit under a worktop.
The only decent top loader available in the UK was the Hotpoint which to the best of my knowledge isnt made anymore, and they cheapened that so much it went from a super machine into an unrelaible nightmare.

Our throwaway society has really hammered the repair industry, even secondhand stores are closing, I used to make a substantial proportion of my income servicing and repairing items for those guys. These days one has to specialise, I concentrate on professional sound equipment.
