Non agitators tend to have trouble with sheets and cloths mix, screws them into a knot, if you have a large family and short time, some people over fill their machines. The sheets turn into parachutes and engulf all the cloths, then overloads. Having had front, top with or without agitator, I prefer top loader with agitator shorter time and comes cleaner for work cloths. Delicates i hand wash and then machine spin dry. Busy household.

Hi, you are one of the few who liked the nonagitator. I am miserable with mine. I have no manual which makes the experience worst. Do you just add liquid detergent pouring into the load on top of the clothes before turning on the start?

[@russellboeman4720]

Our experience has been that if the no-agitator type machine is loaded improperly it will twist the clothing into a tight tangled mess and not completely rinse out the loosened dirt from the clothing. We replaced an agitator type machine which was only 5 years old with a no-agitator type machine which is now 5 years old (and has developed a small leak), and the wear and tear on the clothing seems no better than or worse than the agitator type. One way we noticed the extra wear on the clothing is the lint trap in the dryer retrieves much more lint with smaller loads than it did when we had an agitator type machine.... We use small loads, rarely ever large loads. And the high efficiency no-agitator definitely requires a minimum of detergent or it won't rinse out the soap even with a double rinse. Bottom line is read the user manual and follow the instructions. We are shopping for a new agitator type as this is being written.

I just bought a brand new LG impeller washer, one of the nicer ones. I had a front load Maytag previously that worked very well but it finally went out. This LG is horrible. It does not wring the water out well enough and the clothes are sopped so I either have to dry them that way or spin again. It does not wash my hair off clothes. I picked off about 25 of my own hairs from a sweatshirt the other day. I didn't even know there could be that much hair in the wash as my previous washer got it all off. I have three dogs and weirdly it gets most of that hair but not mine. Also I've watched it run and sometimes it takes about 10 minutes for the top clothes to be pulled in to wash so those clothes obviously don't get as clean as the rest of the clothes. I washed a kitchen towel on Sanitary cycle and it still had crusted food on it. The towel wasn't very dirty to begin with. I'm so bummed because it is such a hassle to return something that big.

I recently bought a Maytag top-loader, with an impeller-agitator bin. That is, it’s an impeller model; the agitator doesn’t perform the same function as the old agitators, they simply prevent clothes from piling up on the center of the disk. At any rate, there are pros & cons. My old front-loader was easy on the clothes, and really wrung out the rinse water. But it smelled moldy, despite my cleaning and leaving the door open. Also, the dog’s fur got stuck behind the gasket, and it had to be cleaned regularly. So eventually the gasket gave out. Ugh. The new Maytag takes forever, but is very frugal with water, and somehow manages to get everything clean, although many commenters don’t believe that. But it gets unbalanced if you look at it the wrong way, and the clothes are still pretty wet at the end, meaning that you have to run the dryer longer. And it seems to create more lint than my dogs and kids could ever create! So to be honest, I can’t recommend one over the other. They each have good and bad points.

This was the better of explanations I've gotten anywhere here on You Tube. I can't imagine living in a household that would not require one or another of these two different type washers though, at any given time. QUES: Who has only mostly light and/or bulky things to wash? Who has mostly real dirty stuff? ANS: No one at any normal "household". Now, certain or specific commercial uses might generally be the ones that only have one or the other, at any given time. e.g. A Restaurant - linen; a Farm Sanctuary - overalls and blankets. A second point, is that these non-agitator types were supposedly a 'take off' from the idea of front loaders. But front loaders have gravity to help rotate clothes about. Some thoughts: let's face it, a more 'efficient' washer is not more 'efficient' if you'd have to wash real dirty clothes twice. Yet I do like the idea of clothes and straps not 'catching or stretching' (except when on each other). Either these new washers will work or they won't; time and people will tell. But even if they don't, I doubt manufacturers will resurrect the agitator as it is probably the part they get the most complaints about (w the exception of belts). And they will not want to admit any errors in judgment. P..S. What I really don't like about the newer model non-agitator is that you can't easily figure out a way to keep the lid open to watch your clothes wash. It is not your simple press latch, it is an inside invisible hook type and I'm afraid to hook something inside in order to keep the latch in an open position, and not be able to retrieve it without doing damage. I've always found it mesmerizing to watch clothes wash and I shall miss that. (I know - you don't have to say it, lol.)

Once I had a 3rd option Swedish made "Electro-Helios" washing machine back in the late 70's and it suited me perfectly. It was a top-loaded horizontal drum (H-axis drum just like a front loader) and it washed clean and fluff-free as front-loading drum-washers always do better thanks to its two compartments i.e. inside round drum with laundry in a outer square box, but (unlike front-loaders) you could always stop it simply by lifting the top-lid and add what ever was forgotten. After opening the lid you rolled the inside drum by hand until you could open two "barn-doors" and chuck something extra inside the drum. Then it could just keep going washing again. Sadly I left it behind in Uppsala when moving to Australia, never to be seen again. That was ~50 years ago and many my washers later I never had a better one...

Seems the idea was less water used in the new agitaterless models, truth is we must run clothes through twice to get them clean. Anyone else see the flaw in that logic?

[@flinchfiles8445]

Thanks for the tip to run them through twice. We recently purchased a GE agitator less washer and it is horrible. Nothing comes clean, it barely moves, no suds appear regardless of auto filling it or what brand is used. At this point, I'd rather use a wash board. Hoping it falls under the warranty to return it, it's absolutely horrible.

We have an LG top loader and it washes brilliantly. Better than my front loader. It seems US versions somehow limit water but ours uses more than enough water. The clothes really get rubbed and tumbled about. The actions are amazing and the turbo wash function seems to do a great job. It spins the whole drum shooting water and soap from the top and into the clothes pulling it through the clothes. Then it rubs. Swirls. Pulses. Love it. It is the only top loader without an agitator that cleans better than a front loader and agitator top loader.

Some LG top load washers now have agitators, but they don't seem to rotate the clothes from the bottom to the top (or vis versa) the way my older GE did (I don't think the GE washer is this video was not even made by GE). The LG agitator just moves the clothes back and forth with more force. My older GE also allowed me to set the water level in 5 different levels. My new LG only allows me to use Deep Fill, which is too much water, but necessary otherwise there will only be a puddle of water that will not get clothes clean. Many of the problems of new washers (and dishwashers) are caused by EPA regulations.

[@staindog7382]

[@elfandomya56]

If you put your wash on quick a BUNCH of soap is staying in your clothes even when you do a regular wash, watch the next time if you choose to see it. Turn it on again & you'll see all the leftover soap after it's been agitating for 2 minutes. Plus water is a major part of getting your clothes to come clean washers need more rinse cycles not less especially front loading washers. Also front loading washers and top loads without a adjitater in the middle don't scrub clothes clean there just barely spinning or tumbling on top of eachother.

[@ericmann1781]

Since I bought my bright red Maytag set 10 years ago I have always used extra rinse cycle just as a peace of mind measure to make sure there is no soap left.

Will never buy a washer without an agitator

[@Deklectic]

I actually prefer Non Agitator washers, you can fit more in them on top of them being much more gentle on clothes and deep cleaning the clothes in my experience anyways, plus it depends on the model too. One thing I have noticed even watching reviews on Non AG HE machines is typically people use WAAAY too much laundry soap and it reduces the performance thus not getting the clothes properly clean, I learned the hard way myself being use to the old school washers and I thought my washer was horrible until I followed the directions on my laundry soap specifically for HE washers and my clothes come out excellent now.. I had to show a few of my friends and family who at first thought Non Agitator washers were horrible but it was them simply using too much soap instead of following the directions on the bottle which most of us are guilty of because we think it won't be enough soap. I love my LG HE personally I feel agitators tear my clothes up.

[@Deklectic]

@@Mandy_39 Well the good thing is in this day and age they have something for everyone's needs some people prefer the old school agitator and some prefer non AG.. Mine is LG WT7600H* A Ver. 072016.04 I purchased it in 2016 I has steam and downloadable cycles and to me one of the few HE's that correctly saturates the clothes unlike many other models hence the reason I chose that particular one plus it had really good reviews at the time.. I do alot of work outside so my jeans get pretty dirty and this thing actually cleans them well especially on heavy duty. If you prefer an agitator washer they have the new speed queen classics commercial grade or the Maytag commerical grade with the agitator that are simple and get the job done.. But if you go for an HE machine just remember less is more and follow HE measurements of your detergent of choice. Most people disregard that and blame the HE machine for not cleaning well, I was once one of those people and thought I bought a piece of junk because my previous washer was OLD and I was use to using ALOT more than what I need now.. My detergent with the LG last a very long time now..

[@alanhubbard1868]

The non-agitator GE washer that I've owned for two years is a total Pile and pain in the butt to use. Unless you load the clothing in very carefully, the machine goes out of balance, and ultimately doesn't completely drain, and spin. You get to reset the machine to drain & spin, and redistribute the load so it doesn't un-balance. Forget washing quilts because the machine can't even begin to balance a quilt, so you get to try 3-4 times, until you get it right. I'm 61 years old, this is the worst washer I've ever owned. I'm going to dump it on Craig's List and buy a cheaper-simpler washing machine.

[@poeticstud101]

Hello, which machine do you have?

[@ronblack7870]

the impeller is to try to simulate a front loader without being a front loader. those are gentler and use less water. so if you need that , get a front loader but expect them to stink after a while

[@BoulevardHome]

To mitigate the stink, make sure you're cleaning the rubber gasket often, as well as the rest of the unit when it needs it, and leaving the door slightly open to ventilate.

[@EseLilChris]

This is for people looking in to Whirlpool, save yourself a headache. Stick to the older machines with nobs and agitators. Ours was purchased on 10/26/21 and failed 8 months later. They don't wash or remove stains properly, they mess up pants(specially jeans) and their warranty services is garbage! It took over 5 weeks for them to "locate" a motherboard to replace the one that went out on mine. Oh and if for some reason your part is not available anywhere, you literally have to wait for their to "special team" that tackles these types of part issues to source it out and they have 21 businessdays to do so. I called Whirlpool and the 3rd party repair company several times for me to get this info and push them to get back to me. 2 of those times the service company didn't do anything until they got my call. The codes we got were F8, E6, and both Whirlpool and the service company have already had this issue come up. Those codes will cause the machine to overflow. It did it to us we were lucky we were home to pull the plug on it before it floded the house.

[@jbar_85]

Yeah we got a whirlpool without a agitator because the sales lady said that it would be quiet. Big mistake. Sounded so loud! We have our washer and dryer in the livingroom. It didn’t even sound like it was moving the clothes around either. Just was making constant noise. Ridiculous. I didn’t feel it was cleaning either. The dryer was nice tho. We returned them and after a long hassle with Home Depot and Whirlpool, we got all our money back and ordered a LG front loader and GE dryer (we have depth issues). We know from our old condo back in 2008, that front loaders are silent, so we went with the best. Plus, they seem to clean better. Anything more then a medium load in a agitator model, won’t get soapy.

We have the Samsung extra large capacity washer & dryer with no agitator - I HATE them. I was curious to see actually how much water the washer uses even on a heavy duty load and I laughed as I opened the lid - there was a few inches of water.

We’ve had our machines for 3 1/2 years and I’m currently looking for just a simple washer and dryer, with an agitator this time.

worst idea when agitation is needed to looses dirt and soil from clothing we bough one because at the time there was no other option since then i have sometimes clean clothes some times smelly clothes i tried every setting and the flat agitator just spins under the wet clothes and with minimal water i under stand why the concept what sucks is washing a full load and cant really smell the clean then until you start to sweat and ware your clothes the under washed clothes can you really make you have a bad at work I'm fed up so getting Samsung side load my clothes just sit while the flat impeller spins
