GE top load post Filter Flow washers
Performance wise these machines were a huge improvement, they did have durability issues there’s no denying that.
But capacity with greater cleaning, much better water extraction, better much less lint no one balance loads whatsoever. We’re all advantages of this new machine.
As far as dual action agitators, it’s simple science that they work much better than a one piece agitator, Consumer Reports called the dual action agitator the greatest advance in top loading washing machines in like 40 years when they started testing them in the 80s. If you believe a one piece, agitator works better with big loads than a dual action agitator you can join the flat earth society. They are still taking memberships, but I’m generally not interested in discussing things with people who just simply have their own agenda and don’t recognize science.
That said any agitator in virtually any washer does a sufficiently great job if it’s loaded properly. But you can simply get a lot more in with a dual action agitator and get the clothing clean with less damage, because the clothing move around better with the dual action agitator.
If you want to see, fun, performance, and great turnover in an 806 Maytag try this modification , this has the GE ramp agitator with a 50 cycle motor, pulley and the Pitman transmission, unfortunately, I can’t upload the video of it washing a load, but it’s pretty amazing, the load sensor agitator will still turnover a bigger load in this machine, of course but this one is a fun agitator to watch.
