<blockquote>AgiFlow3: The TC unit has no need for an auger. The agitator they have now is perfectly adequate.</blockquote> That's true. I didn't say it *needs* such, just that SQ could employee it. There's nothing about the mechanical design that prevents it.
SQ TL Washer With A 2 piece Agitator
It would help them wash better and bigger loads with less fabric wear and damage.
After selling nearly 1000 traditional SQ TL washers over the last 15 years the lack of a augur style, neutral drain [ like most other countries get ] and larger holes in the basket bottom is the reason I will never have one in my personal laundry room.
SQs first mission is rugged reliability, and because the home stuff is built to REAL commercial standards they are not going to bells and whistles to their machines.
A current SQ TC5 or a SQ FL washer will outlast ANY washer EVER build and sold in the last 70 years for home use in the US, INCLUDING any wringer washer.
Partly because I can fix machines I value performance over ultimate reliability, however I find that the SQ FL washers to be a nearly perfect balance between performance and reliability., it is fast produces prefect results and has not let me down once in nearly 15 years.

The Speed Queen TC5 is a good washer and it is, but my blight with them is the first spin speed is slow and they don’t have a mechanical timer.
Don’t have much to say about the Speed Queen dryers other than they get much hotter than most other newer dryers that are on the market today.

Honestly John I don't know how you would figure less wear ? A DAA still has the bottom half going back and forth.Not to mention the edge of the auger itself.
Wasn't the DAA created for a specific purpose ? To keep things moving in the tub of those 1st generation large capcity jumbo tubs ?
There is no problem with the turnover on a Speed Queen. At least not in the 7 years I have owned mine. For large loads I load right up to the edge of the plastic tub ring and still get good turnover.
Agree to disagree. Having a single action agitator is a nice change of pace in a sea of copycat designs.

Dual Action Agitator
As someone who has owned a dual action agitator Whirlpool model for fifteen years and then this Maytag for almost two years, I would agree that a dual action agitator model helps with bigger loads and there is less wear and tear. It helps move the items (especially larger loads or larger items) down, in, and through the water better.
Between these two washers, I had an LG front load. When I washed our comforters in the Maytag, I was shocked with how dirty the water was. The front load simply could not wash all the surfaces as well as the Maytag I have now even though it did seem to do a good job on smaller items.
This is the closest comparison I could quickly find where a bulky blanket was washed in both of these models.

I also have a video where I washed a queen-size quilt. This video shows a side-by-side comparison of the Maytag mvwp575gw delicate and bulky cycle. The quilt turns over even with the delicate cycle.

Dual Action Agitators
Hi Ransome, The facts simply are not on your side, the agitator blades on any agitator do the real cleaning and also can cause wear to clothing, having the clothing turn over in a wash load simply gives more even cleaning and less wear to clothing, the spiral portion of a DAA simply would not damage the most delicate hand knitted sweater.
Yes with a light to medium load a DAA does not make much difference, but everyone needs to wash large items and loads at times like the poster above washing her blankets. A DAA also can make a TL washer more energy efficient when by allowing larger loads to be washed, Climate Change Is Real.
20 some years ago CRs called the two piece agitator the greatest advance in agitator design since the invention of agitators in washing machines, As an expert on Automatic Washers I agree, but you can believe what ever you want.

I'm just saying that with the capacity of the Speed Queen and the good design of the flex-vane agitator it is not needed.
Here is a good example. I owned one of the early large capacity 27" dd washers in 1988. That washer was a super capacity 3.0 cu ft tub. It had the 2 piece super surgilator that had the lint filter in the barrel with the 5 thin flex vanes. That washer could roll over a huge load with no problems.
I'm not against the DAA, but it does encourage overloading of machines.
I certainly don't take CU's words as gospel either.

Finally saw the new KA and Maytag dishwashers plus the commercial Maytag at Lowe's today. One of the few places you can actually go into and look around. I was pretty impressed with the Maytag and KA dishwashers. Everything felt sturdy. The spray arms seem higher quality also. Very nice.
Places like Best Buy make you order from the parking lot and you drive up to get your order. Strange days indeed.
