Huh? Good modern clothes washers don’t have agitators. Agitators clean well, but they are terrible for clothing. A good modern front loader cleans almost as well and damages your clothing much less in the process.
- Night_Thastus 3y agoLast time I looked into it, I saw that the large, conical agitator had been replaced with a sort of agitator-plate that was much smaller. Part of that is it's also more efficient, iirc.
- adrr 3y agoThey are one of the most efficient washers in terms of water usage. i like them better than front loaders because of issues with the gasket like leaking and keep the gasket clean from mildew. Its just slower but with increased capacity. I can fit two queen sized comforters in mine with no issues. https://www.consumerreports.org/top-load-he-washer/things-to-know-about-high-efficiency-top-loaders-a6745584111/ https://www.consumerreports.org/top-load-he-washer/things-to...
