For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The water container would increase the height of the machine so it wouldn't in the space most people have. It would need to be reduced in height somehow to accomodate the extra size of the tank. It also relies on the buyer having the skill to remove the machine top when not plugged in and fill the tank without drowning the electrics. It is a good idea but it relies on common sense which is a dangerous thing!
Very interesting idea but I think we can all agree that it will need a very big container for water weighting a washing machine.
I have been doing all sorts of calculations and, understanding that a gallon of water weighs 8.345 pounds, it could require a container with a capacity in the region of 3.3 galls in the top part of the machine ....Quite big when compared to a large garden watering 'can' of 2 galls.

Thanks bhg481 for correcting me. I often get confused with weights and measures. The weight factor I gave was for a USA gallon. I still wish we had Imperial.
So with an amendment to my figures, I now arrive at an equal split of 25 kg between top and bottom of a washing machine and arrive at 2.76 galls ...... Still a big container needed to put under the top cover.

As a W/machine is connected to the Mains Water Supply surely it would be filled up via that source as part of the set-up operation without having to remove the top.
