I like the straight-vane agitator! If you get the time, put a full load (and a full load at this water level means adding clothes up to the 3rd row of holes down from the top) in and run it. I'd love to see how it rolls over a load compared to my dual-action agitator.
Wow, a washer that gives change; can't beat that! Maybe it will spit out quarters in the next load, LOL.
Very interesting video clip-yes--try it with a load of clothes and see what it can do!Makes me think of older washers!This may be a good one for Traditional TL fans!I wonder if the DA style agiator would fit in this one so you can experiment with both-maybe kinda fun to try.The striaght blade agitator does really stir it up!
A friend of mine has a Frigidaire stacked set with the straight vane agitator. Every time i have seen it wash, clothes just moved in a circle around the tub.
I thought the DAA was supposed to improve the turnover. Not really a huge fan of indexing tubs as it seems to hinder performance.
Have to say I hated it after the initial "Newness" of it was over! Sorry, but neutral drain and huge indexing of the drum got right on my t*ts! Not keen on the spin rinsing and the results were not good. I am a Brit and probably before owning my first TL, was spoilt by my front loader doing all the stain removal for me, but i just don't understand how a 35 minute cycle can get perfect results like a british/euro machine..
Feel like I should duck and run but hey..... we are all different!
Don't feel bad; I hated my 1986 Frigidaire TL'er with its indexing tub. Never thought I'd get another. But I like my 2006 Frigidaire TL'er BECAUSE of its indexing tub. Fun to watch. And the turnover is much better with the dual-action than it was with my old machine. It had a terrible agitator.
Having said that, my daily driver is still the front-loader. Cleans better, spins faster, is quieter and uses much less water. What's not to like?
