Favorite Agitator

[qsd-dan]

Cool setup, Dan!

Thanks!

Yes Dan,

The agitators in those Maytag conventionals can really kick some major @$$. Gotta love 'em!

Thats what I meant to say for the Norge-The Burpilator!!!My Mom had one when I was a little kid-loved watching it!It was a BIG black Bakelite I suppose 4 blade Norge Burpilator-have been wanting one like that since.The agitator also had a silver colored metal lint pan.

My favorite is the old black original Kenmore Roto - Swirl. A great cleaning agitator all around.

I also kind of like the "Cone of Silence" Easy agitators (at least they remind me of the Cone of Silence from Get Smart - only with three cones!) I've got an old wringer machine with one of those.

I like...

The Super Surgilator,

 

[toploader55]

Also...

Speed Queen

 

[toploader55]

But I'm thinking...

My Favorite would have to be a tie between the The Powerfin and the WO65 Pulsator.

Eddie,

I also have an admiration for the Speed Queen's pure simplicity, yet it is so very effective.

Met very few I didn't like, but

...the other side of the coin to this interesting thread would be a choice for the worst agitator ever seen or used. I must admit I was appalled, appalled I tell you, when someone posted a picture of a vintage Hamilton washer from the sixties. Must have been engineered by Christie O'Donnell because nothing but witchcraft could get this uninspired piece of plastic to rollover anything:

Here's mine.

Chris, you could've stopped at your first pic. Best agitator ever IMO, it's been downhill ever since.

3-way tie

Frigidaire rules!

 

[bendixmark]

agitators

Mine would be the two rotoswirls and the pentaswirl.

Favorite Agitator

For myself it is the Frigidaire 1/18

My favorite non-Maytag agitator would be from the Easy automatics. It's performs like a ramped GE on some hardcore steroids!

On the left....

Several to pick from here. My absolute favorites are the Surgilator pictured in Reply # 3, and the Kenmore gold str8 vane in Reply 29.

Have a good one,
James

What to replace 1972 Lady Kenmore Agitator with??

Have a gorgeous matching 1972 piano key Lady Kenmore with stripped out vari flex. What can I replace with?? Willing to purchase any suggested part anyone has at great price. Help! Sincere thank you. [email protected]

 

[brucelucenta]

You're all crazy!!! The best HAS to be a Kevinator with all the fins and holes in the agitator!!!! They are the MOST entertaining too!!!

 

[abcomatic]

Mine would be: the Easy Spiralator and the ones in my Maytag wringer machines. Both of those agitators throw some real mean water currents and lots of clean clothes. Happy washing, Gary

You are all wrong. There can only be one best and this is it.
