Yes, it is safe to use HE detergent in a normal top-loader washing machine.From Tide.com: "Our HE detergent is designed especially for HE washing machines - both front and top loading. If you have a non-HE washing machine (which is usually top-loading only), you can use HE detergentbut it's not necessary. It won't harm the machine but you'll notice less suds."
While that sounds as an agreeable proposition to use half the quantity as you would for a top loader, it still is advisable not to use a detergent designed to be used for a top loader when you want to use a front loading washer. It is best to use a HE (High Efficiency) detergent in a front loading washer. Minimal suds is the key. No suds at all is the best option, though quite unlikely. Top loading detergent also inhibits the evaporation of water around the seal and promotes the growth of bacteria mold and mildew.
Yes you can use. But if the front loading washers, if used with the right detergent are a great investment. You’ll save a lot of electricity and money as a result. Plus, front loaders are more sophisticated technology and hence arguably have been cleaning technology than the traditional top loaders.
The use of water depends on which of the two types of machines you have, between a top-loading and a front-loading. A top-loading washer uses around 40 gallons of water from start to finish, whereas a front-loading machine uses about half as much..
Apparently you can and it shouldn't be a problem - provided it is a front-loading machine, not top-loading ones.....
For a top loading washer, typically about 1-2 tablespoons of high-efficiency liquid detergent is sufficient for a regular load of laundry. Be sure to check the detergent packaging for specific instructions based on the size of your load and water hardness. Adjust the amount based on load size and level of soiling.
many top-loading machines are easier to access, tumble-type washers require less water and detergent to clean a load of laundry
I get the best results when I add the detergent to the bottom of the tub, before I put clothes in the machine.
You should put detergent in the detergent compartment of your washing machine, typically found on the inside of the door or on top of the machine. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the correct amount to use based on the size of your load and the detergent concentration.

The detergent used in a front loading washing machine generally uses less surfactant, the agent in all detergents that creates suds to lift out dirt. It is also more concentrated than the top loading kind. Front loading washing machines have been used in Europe for a long time, but are just now coming into their own here in the US. They require less water, and therefore less detergent. It may be a matter of opinion, but these machines wash better, and put less stress on clothes. Surfactants reduce the surface tension of a liquid. When used in washing clothes, it allows water to penetrate garments, break up soil, and allow dirt to easily disperse into the liquid.
