Is that a "Bouncing Basket" Apex?

 

[jaxsunst]

Yes, the supreme holy grail of all things washer.

 

[norgenocker]

how did it work, exactly?

 

[jeffg]

The ad mentions fiberglass. Is it referring to the agitator, tub or both?

 

[DADoES]

There's no agitator as such. The tub is one integral piece, which jiggles and rocks and gyrates to provide the washing action. That's what "bouncing basket" means. Half the water splashes out by end of the wash period.

 

[Unimatic1140]

The tub only fills up 1/2 way with water and it begins to bounce as soon as the filling starts, just like a front loader. They really needed a recirculation system in the machine to return the water that bounces out of the tub back into the wash basket.

But none the less this machine was totally fun to watch in action, very splashy and active.
