the scoop
In order to use the Easy agitator, you have to shim the block a little bit. Once shimmed, that agitator sits just over the screws at the bottom of the tub. I think it would be better if the agitator base were a little larger but it didn't seem to matter in our tests. The video shows the first wash and rinse. The second one we overloaded on purpose with 6 pairs of heavy jeans (from the contractor that is working on my house) and three large bath towels. Didn't seem to matter one bit. That agitator took those clothes under just as it did when we underloaded it and washed them Speed Queen clean, as Jon Charles would say. What was really impressive was that we didn't get the non action of an overloaded preggo rotoswirl. It really washed and rinsed beautifully! With all that action in the tub, the brake held fast with no slippage at all. As for the transmission, I'm not really worried about it. Was talking to Lady Kenmo and she has never seen a Spped Queen with a transmission problem, and she's worked on bunches! I also have extra parts so I can repair it if need be. Thus the EasyQueen has been born! Mark
