Favorite Agitator

[cphifer5115]

What is everyone's favorite agitator? please include a picture if you can.

for me it's a tie between the super roto swirl and whirlpool's surgeralator.

 

[cphifer5115]

the super surgeralator

 

[washernoob]

That red agitator that is in Ben's AMP set! Coolest and most beautiful agitator.

next would be the philco "ford?" one.

#1 Whirlpool Super Surgilator

Lebron....(he lights a cigarette and blows a stream of smoke toward the ceiling), well, well, well. We meet again.

I hoped my brilliant choice of agitators would bring you out of the woodwork.

For looks: Hotpoint Silhouette or Easy Spiralator

For cleaning: Speed Queen

For funkiness: Philco Flex-a-Wash

Give me an Easy or blue White Westinghouse from the late 70s. Ahhh...stuff dreams are made of...of course a blue Maytag wringer agitator is cool too. Did they make a red one?

 

[tolivac]

Have several favorites for me-WPKN BD dual action,Surgilator,RotoSwirl,Norge "Angel Wings"Olde bakelite ones,and Speed Queen.

 

[norgeway]

Norge!

Burpalator, YES!

 

[MRbeatty]

maytag

the penta vane or maytags gyrator

 

[bajaespuma]

The Hotpoint turquoise spiral agitator with the burpolator and bleach dispenser built inside:

 

[polkanut]

I would have to say mine is either the Maytag Powerfin, or the aluminum 1950's Speed Queen agitators from their wringer washers.

 

[qsd-dan]

"Nuff said!

 

[strongenough78]

Cool setup, Dan!

 

[qsd-dan]

Cool setup, Dan!

Thanks!

 

[polkanut]

Yes Dan,

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

 

[tolivac]

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.

 

[whitekingd]

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.

 

[toploader55]

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.

 

[polkanut]

Eddie,

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

 

[bajaespuma]

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.
