Why Do American Houses Have So Many Bathrooms?
The top loaders I have seen here in Sweden have just been front loaders except the instead of having a window you load the drum through a hatch in the rim. That design should use exactly as much water as front loaders.

Yup, that's the difference. American top loaders flip the drum on its side so the opening of the drum is at the top.
This also typically allows for a larger drum.
