Hi GV,
Thanks for the question. I can't speak for the category as a whole, but I can tell you that Samsung HE Top Load Washers, including the WA48H7400AW, are designed to be gentle on clothes. The Diamond Drum is smoother than conventional drum surfaces and has smaller holes to prevent fabrics from snagging. The pulsator design is gentle and effective, and there's a Delicates cycle which is pre-programmed to clean effectively but gently. As with many Front Load and Top Load HE Washers, the highest RPM spin speeds are great for extracting the maximum amount of water, but can lead to wrinkling with certain types of fabrics, such as permanent press, so reducing the spin speed for some loads may be advisable.
