Agitator
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi- This is Sue at GE Appliances. We are excited to hear of your interest in our GE Washers! Most people are used to top load washers with a traditional agitator. The agitator's job is to turn your clothes over, while the wash basket spins to help clean and extract water. Most people prefer a top loader because they feel that the clothes get cleaner as they sit in a tub full of water as the agitator and wash basket does its job. Newer models of top loaders are loaded with features and have a larger capacity for larger loads (5.1 DOE cu. ft.). HE (High- Efficiency) Top Load Washers are similar to top loaders, but offer the energy efficiency that is closely related to what the front load washer offers. Because the spin mechanism is much faster than in the regular top loader, your clothes are left dryer in the end (much like the front loader). The HE top loader also doesn't use as much soap or water as the top loader does. Best of all, most HE top loader models come without the agitator in the middle of the wash basket, leaving more room for laundry. When investing in a HE top load washer, you'll need to switch to HE detergent. Although buying a new washer is a big investment and there are a lot of options to consider, ultimately it comes down to what's important to you.
