Finally there are two models online on the Home Depot site. I must say I like the design of this control panel.

Admiral in Chicago

In Chicago, the Home Depot stores have (what looks like)the newer-design Admiral washers. Plastic tub. Whirlpool design? (Appears so, you decide.)
At least the Admiral logo has changed and is correct now. The original Admiral used at least six different "fonts" over their 40 year history. All were well done and elegant. However, Home Depot's appliances carried a garrishly distorted facsimile of Admiral's logo which I didn't particularly care for.
This time, they're using the latest Admiral (Rockwell International era) logo circa approx 1975 and it looks good.
(I'm hearing a resounding "WHO CARES?"... Well I do..

Yup, the basket is polypropylene

& the mechanism is the traditional direct-drive.

I saw an Admiral at Home Depot this afternoon, next to a lineup of Whirltags. But a salesman was hanging by it with a customer so I didn't get a look, dunno if it was a Whirlmiral.

Agitation Arc

Is the agitation arc any different than the Whirlpool/Kenmore DD arc? I was hoping these new Maytag/Admiral machines would be a little more gentle on clothes.
