No wonder some of us get twisted- (speaking for myself only, of course, LOL)

Shoudn't the water technically show up after (not before)the agitation?

LOL

Lubricant

The water is the liquid that the female produces before sex.

What about agitators with fabric softener dispensors, how it just oozes out after the first spin?

OK Stop You Folks are Killing ME!

This is probably gone a bit too far, but true nevertheless!

Ok keep on posting!!!

thought I would ask--Does anyone form "air bubbles" in large items-sheets,tablecloths,ete to see how long the bubble lasts?Ie when the air reaches the edge of the item.

Never did that purposely, but I did 'squish' them trying to get rid of them. I recall the 1962 Whirlpool had trouble with rolling bubbled sheets. A typical 6-minute wash wouldn't take care of it without some help.

Interesting that both F&Ps do pretty well with rolling sheets.

I do recall that the Dual-Action agitator had some trouble with air bubbles, surprisingly, but was able to get them out eventually. The DD Surgilator is the same; not the best but not the worst either. The Power-Fin's ability to remove air bubbles depends on the size of the load, but usually gets all of the air out 99% of the time--If not I just set it for another rinse. The Roto-Swirl does probably the best job of the oscillating agitators; it is the only machine that can roll the sheets with the air bubbles still in them, if they haven't dissolved already.

In my opinion, however, the 1-18 is king. Air bubbles are no match for the surging pulsator action and dissolve right at the start of wash and rinse. The load I photographed and posted was a set of my sheets; these are "heavy" compared to the others and bubble easily. But, as you can see, no air bubbles were present in either the wash or the rinse.

I was washing some sheets a couple of days ago. I find the DAA is probably the best i have used for getting those air bubbles out.

In the two machines I have the WP Imperial thrashes them for a little while then pulls the bubbles down and they come back up again unless the air comes out of the edge.One time it came from the edge so much-it sprayed the suds and water at me.
In the rachet action DA I have it eventually squeezes the air from under the item.Esp noticable during rinse -after the washer fills the incoming water seems to "inflate" and make air pockets.You can hear them go "blub" and splash when the air goes out.sort of interesting.I can remember "Roto-Swirls" handle the iar pockets well.Need to get a RS agitator to experiment with in the WP Imperial.Lately the swap shop hasn't had any.Usually they were easy to find.

The Maytag A806 I got today is

Not smelling so good when I got it home. I am sure after a load or two, I will expect somethin different!

I did try to stop her agitation, but she prevaled!

Ok well you all are great folks!
