QuestionConsumer Reports says Top Loaders with an agitator do not clean clothes as good as Front Loaders or Top Loaders without an agitator. Is this true with this model?
- Answer Im not sure i completely agree Whereas I do agree the front load washer cleaned our clothes very well, the top load washer without the agitator left our clothes dingy looking. so we returned it and got the one with the agitator and our clothes were cleaner
QuestionWill I be able to fit a comforter in this machine with the agitator? If so, does it wash bedding well?
- Answer Yes. i washed a king and queen comforter (separately) with no problem. deep fill provides enough water. i paused during wash a few times to move comforter around some and push all the way down in water. drum is deep and parts of comforter would float up some. so i pushed comforter around and up and down a little in drum to make sure all parts were getting submerged and then let it continue washing. a did the same during rinse. couldn't be happier with way it cleaned and spin extracted water very well.

QuestionIs this washer high-efficiency? How is it different from the model without the agitator, MVWB835DW? Thanks!
- Answer shlay17 model MVWB865GW is an HE washer and has 3 different cycles than the other model. It has a Color cycle, a drain and spin, and a rapid wash. Model MVWB835DW has a deep water wash and soak option that the other washer does not have. We hope this helps!
QuestionAre you able to remove the agitator if you wish? For example if you wish to put a large bulky item in...
- Answer NO!!! My experience as listed in my review is that my medium weight King comforter fit and washed fine. Don't be fooled and buy the 6.0 cu ft impeller washer, the fine print says you cannot fill washer to physical capacity, which is crazy, but you will damage the washer if you do, ask a repairman.
