> DD Agitator Question

[westytoploader]

Does anyone have a Direct-Drive straight-vane or Surgilator that they would really like to get rid of?

If you do, let me know of the shipping costs at [email protected].

Oops! This was meant to go into the "Deluxe" (modern) section, but I hope someone will see it anyway.

That's ok as soon as the web-wizard behind the curtain catches it, he'll move it over.

Are you looking for one of these to fix a machine or to play with a different one in the Kenmore?

I'm looking for one to play with in the Kenmore; the DA agitator is WAY too boring...but doesn't everybody have that opinion? LOL

Even worse

The Straight vane/surgilator is even more boring. It doesn't turn clothes hardly at all. So the stuff at the bottom gets a beating and the stuff at the top just sits there

My last washer had the super surgilator with the 5 vanes on the skirt and the tiny lint filter in the agitator barrel.That agitator had really good turnover in my machine.

Jason was your machine a 24" model? Maybe the narrower tub impedes the rollover. Anyhow those DD surgilators really cause some suds to kick up....much more so than the DD DA Agi i have now in my KM.

I used to have a WP dd washer with the super surgilator agitator.That was the one with the 5 vanes on the skirt and the tiny lint filter in the agi. barrel.
I found that agitator to have very good consistent rollover action.It also created heaps of suds too!too much sometimes.
Jason,was your last WP a 24" model? Maybe the narrower tub impedes rollover more so than the full sized versions.The machine we had was also a single speed machine,.....had i known at the time that they had changed to dd i would have went with a two speed machine. Anyhow it gave it's all for 15 yrs.and was the longest running machine we have had to date.

I had the Design 2000 one with the narrow tub. It was dismal as far as action goes. I enjoyed the fact that it was a washing machine but it just wasn't that great.

I agree it is still a washer,...just not as much fun as a belt drive.
