I'm wondering the same thing about the choice of High, Low, and Ultra Low agitation. Is Ultra Low intermittent?

Ah I didn't think of that DaDoes! I would imagine it would have to be since there isn't a slower motor speed.
Thanks all for the clarification. After I let go of mine, I didn't pay much attention to the models after it.
OK, here's the lowdown.
Cotton/Towels: Fast/Fast.
Medium agitation followed by stepped spins of medium to fast.
Knits/Permanent Press: High/Low
Medium agitation followed by medium spins only, no steps.
Sweaters: Low/High
Slow agitation followed by stepped spins of medium to fast.
Delicate: Low/Low
Slow agitation followed by medium spins only, no steps.
*Wool/Handwash: Ultra Low/Ultra Low
Slow intermittent agitation followed by a stepped spin of Ultra Low (850 Rpm motor speed) to medium 1140 RPM motor speed). *300 RPM spin speed stepped to 450 RPM spin speed for the last 4 minutes

It's a great cycle
I use the Wool/Handwash all winter for my cashmere and other sweaters. 80% of my winter wardrobe is "Handwash Only". That cycle is 50% of the reason I bought it.

DD of preference
I suppose if I was to decide on a DD top load machine, KitchenAid would have been my machine of choice. For some reason, they are very rare second hand finds in my area.
Would be a fun garage machine.

The agitator does make a difference
When I bought my KAWE860WWH2 washer and KGYE760WWH0 dryer at a 2nd hand store in 2008, the washer had a "Kenmore" dual-action agitator. When I found the original-style turquoise agitator on E-Bay I was happy to replace it. Then I discover the roll over was lousy with that turquoise agitator. The Kenmore agitator gave better rollover. But the action looks even better with the agitator Geoff has.

Kenmore agitator

Agitator
Thanks, DADoES
But his white agitator has the wider base.....

Underwear
I noticed the yellow shorts too. I assumed that was why the wash water seemed so dirty...
