Is this a direct drive or belt driven null

Hello Edwin! This model is belt driven. Thank you for your inquiry on our Whirlpool appliances.

I have no idea, however I will say this. This is an extremely quiet, efficient and economical machine compared to our old style machine with the large agitator. My guess would be that it is some form of a direct drive, as it makes virtually no noise or vibrations during the wash cycle and even more importantly the spin/rinse cycles. It uses the new HE laundry detergent, and only requires about 1/3 of the total volume of detergent for an average wash cycle. I can recommend it highly, as well as the matching gas dryer we purchased.
