the huge blades of that agitator will sure fill up that lint filter in a hurry!Don't use a high sudsing detergent with this guy-otherwise a roomfull of suds stirred up by those HUGE vanes.
I love the
"GOOD LUCK BIDDING!" I bet people are racing to the button!

But the clothes don't stay in the dryer, they just fall
Actually, suds were a problem. Users would dump a whole cup of high-sudsing detergent into that small tub and then suds would push their way over the top of the tub and fall on the motor top - and short the motor out. John even said there were a few that shorted out and caught on fire.

Agitators of the Strange
More than a few manufacturers have had strange twisted/winged agitators that have left me scratching my head. Perhaps we should start a photo thread of bizarre agitators and the people who love them...

Shut the fffffff front door ! LOL
I first saw this strange agitator in a Gibson, around the late 70's, in the back of an appliance store where they had 6 beautiful automatics running and loaded. Oddly, they were out of sight to the casual customer. Realize now that someone in that store was just like us. The Gibson was a "first discovered" for me.

My 78 Norge has wings near the top of the agitator, does a damn fine job of turning over EVERYTHING, but it's in a large tub, not as overwhelming as this one appears in that small plastic tub.

I had one of these
Bought it in 1992 at Sears. It was a pretty lame washer and the dryer more so. It seemed that the dryer tumbled too fast. Stuff would stick to the drum and just rotate around instead of tumbling freely. So the part of the clothes facing outward would dry, but the clothes not exposed would stay wet. I was always opening the door to redistribute the load. That's probably what happened to this door. Fell off from overuse!

Just more WCI Shit.
After that agitator beats the hell out of your clothes and throws suds on the live motor. If your house dosen't burn down. You can watch the shredded clothes tumble because the flimsy dryer door fell off. LOL! For a real stack unit try the 27" WP DD full size stack. Of course better if it has the window door dryer.

at a townhouse place I lived in-I remembered the neighbor had one of those machines-I asked him about it-He says "I hate that thing-It tears the buttons off my shirts and jackets".My townhome had a seperate KN compact washer and dryer.My washer didn't have an agitator anywhere like that one.Would also think you would have to keep the top of the washer closed while using that agitator-would think it could splash a lot of water out of the tank!-and on you!-and the motor!
The shadow cast by the agitator looks a bit like a tree top angel. This is not to suggest that the washer is heavenly.
Tri-Action washer that like that 70'S kiddy ride, Sit-N-Spin!
One thing about that model, you can not wash and dry at the same time. It's one or the other!

I have a slightly older version of this machine, 1987 I think, on a houseboat. It is rarely used so in good condition still. It does OK washing but the spin is very slow. Clothing still has a good deal of water and dry times are long. This load is two pair of scrubs, a pair of jeans and a couple of polo shirts. Full water level. Not as splashy as one would think with the angel agitator. Sorry the video is short and not good quality. The machine is in a hallway closet with the light being above the machine casting shadows. I didn't realize the video would be sideways either. This is the first time I have used my cell for videos.

indexing
that one has built up quite a bit of tub indexing speed-trying to hold the load out away from the agitator LOL. I have 1989 monkey franklin that gets rotated into use from time to time and it's tub indexing seems to vary with load size-60*steps seem about usuall though.Don't know if the"little"franklins agitate the same OPM as the 27"franklins

I saw one like this years ago at the dumpster in my apartment complex. It was pretty beat up and the wash tub looks like it had come off of it's mounting or something, it was pretty askew. I checked it out and saw how small the tub was, and how big the agitator was. It looked like hardly anything would fit in there.
