Not a fan ~
Further homogenization of the former stark originality of all thing washing machine, all the look alike nonsense is depressing when recalling the glories of the once unique panoply of machines at our disposal.
Have an old friend and former colleague who is super smart and multi-talented, but oh what a row we had when he insisted that his whole agitator in his brand new Whirlpool was turning round and round in circles. No washer sense of what a round and round load would look like in a top loader. He always washed full loads of like clothing: "I just washed 25-- TWENTY-FIVE-- shirts," he'd boast. I had to make him watch me fill his Whirlpool to Extra Low with no clothing on gentle speed before he believed me. Doubting Thomas indeed, his name is Tom, and he'll love that I told this story.
Laundress, I have a Whirlpool with the twist monster removed from the agitator and it works just swell without it. Alternativley, I switch in the massive Kitchen-Aid agitator, unmolested, for the rare mega load, or king-sized quilts, or a three blanket load.
Cheers, nice query!
