top-loading

Lid on top

Top-loading describes appliances or containers designed to be filled from above rather than the front or side.

A top-loading washing machine has a lid on top; a top-loading dishwasher pulls out from the top.

The term extends to any device where items are inserted through an opening on the upper surface: a top-loading CD player, a top-loading toaster.
