Does this have an agitator like the old ones did? null

Unlike the traditional agitators that are tall spindles, vaned or finned in the center of the tub in older top load washing machines that twist (or agitate) back and forth, the ENERGY STAR® Qualified LG 5.0 cu.ft. Smart Wi-Fi Enabled Top Load Washer with TurboWash3D™ Technology, Model # WT7300CV features what is referred to as an Impeller which is a low-profile cone or disc that spins/rotates. The vanes of an impeller create turbulent currents in the wash water as the impeller rotates. In theory, these currents move the clothes through the water so the clothes rub against each other and clean them without the impeller making physical contact with the clothes. The impeller also takes up less space in the center of the drum, making impeller machines easier to load than agitator machines. The washer uses less water in order to optimize the friction of the clothes rubbing against each other. Impellers are found in high-efficiency washing machine models that use less water than traditional models and rotate at higher speeds during spin cycles. The higher spin speeds extract more water from the clothes, so drying times are reduced. The combination of water and energy savings makes these washer models significantly more efficient than traditional models.They are less damaging to clothes...^IFV

No, there is no traditional center agitator. There is a low profile disk at the bottom of the tub that moves the clothes through the water.
