Yes,the Laundromat front loaders had them on the top of the units free standing and stackables.They were a nightmare because a painted finish will easily rust from constant contact with complex chemicals like Chlorine bleach and fabric softners.The top of the line agitator washers had them too(if I remember correctly.It's been a long,long time since I have seen any top of the line indexing Westinghouse top loading washers.)however,this model on POD was their lower end model 2 speed. It was followed a step up by one with the "Weigh to Save" lid and "Hand Wash"agitator.I will never understand how Hotpoint was able to have their own "Hand Wash" agitator similar to the Westinghouses without any legal action ever taken??
