The Award For The Best Agitator Design Goes To........

[rayjay]

Frigidaire Jet Action

Number 1: The Jet Action Agitator in the Rapid Dry 1000.
Number 2: The GE Straight Vane and the GE Activator

Family had these washers through the years and we washed a lot of dirty greasy mechanics clothes, and these two machines did the best. My parents replaced the Rapid Dry with the 1-18 and the 1-18 was okay, but not as good as the Rapid Dry or the GE.

The 1955 rotoswirl,I really have noticed how the clothes have a really good turnover,but the truth is how much of a load is in the machine.My Easy spiralator has really good washing action actually I think its too powerful.In an automatic the inner tub acts as a buffer for turn over the holes absorb some of the action,in a solid tub you seem to get more turbulant action and tangling. Whatever!!! Bobby

i really like speed queens straight vane....but my 2nd choice would have to be the double duty super surgilator...love the extra baffles at the bottom and the fins coming all the way up to the cap above the water line....now there was movement BIG TIME!!!
