Anyone here by chance usin one o' them agitatorless washers ?

[Jim West Pa]

Janet and i are in need a new washer and in our shoppin have found that there is now an agitatorless worsher ( that's pghese for washer ) on the market.
Supposedly has all the features of a front load but loads from the top.
Was hopin maybe one of y'all had some experience with one and could share yer opinion on it ?
I believe they are called an " H2Low " er somethin like that.

i betcha alligatorless worshers would be huge over in Africa where those big Nile Crocs just sit and wait for the worsher wimmin. Its been said their guts are full of Zulu gold armbands, always wanted to open one up and see, or maybe just scan him with the detecto broom! The toilet or bathtub make for a great washer in a pinch. Its a multipurpose deal where you also get your toilet and tub scrubbed clean as well, very green and efficient! Good luck on your quest, young squire!

I have one I bought in 2002. A Whirlpool Calipso. I bought it cause at the time it was the only push button washer available and that is what my wife needed. They had lots of problems and I know they have gotten better. Mine has had to be repaired 4 times.

I have NO idea how the new ones are, unfortunately everything nowdays is being made to break it seems like.

We got it about 3 years ago. It uses less water an washing products and the clothes are cleaner then ever! It sounds a little wierd when it isw running, but it is quieter than the old ones we had by a long shot. It was a little pricey, but I feel it was well worth it. I give it a thumbs-up. DC

And their breakdown rate has been high. I have a Maytag washer..........will never buy another one! GE makes a good product. One of my patients has one of those new fangled top loading agitatorless washers........Maytag BTW......and it broke after 3 months. Parts have been hard to get because it is a new design.

and still goin very strong.
Our washer is a Whirlpool and i bot it 25 years ago and up 'till now it has been great.
A switch is all that is wrong with it but Janet just decided she wants a new one.
I know there's no way a new one is gonna be as good as the old one but it's what she wants to do.
I'm gettin a lot of 'reviews' from both freinds and family on the H2lows and so far your patients' is the only bad one

Janet bot one last night and my son and a friend got 'er installed so i'm sure Janet will put it thru the motions this weekend and give er a try.
I'm a bit confused tho on jist how this " aligatorless" ( thanx scubadetector ), system is gonna work.
I jist can't see how it will 'move' the clothes.

Unless it's all new construction, I jist caint figger what it is that could possibly drive a man to wanna be a plumber.
I have had to repair and or replace every inch o' plumbin in this old house over the past 4 years and only you can imagine
the things and places i've had to get into to do it uke:
I jist can't imagine what would drive a man to wanna do that every day.
You guys are like nurses, over worked and under appreciated.
Not to meantion the 'crap' that you both gotta put up with uke:

And we won't even go into the septic system end of it
