Tolivac Hi bet you will get mixed answers to that question, CR if i remember correctly went on a rant about the maytage where the fins did not connect with the "skirt". Probably works well but that rotoflex looks vicious. LOL. | ||

answers and opinions
alr: That picture is a Speed Queen washer/dryer combo...very rare machine. I'm pretty sure no one in the club has one, and I don't think anyone has ever even seen one in person. But I wouldn't be that surprized if Gansky doesn't find one someday. Kenmore: I don't know how rough that agitator was, but after all those hours of development and testing the Rotoflex was the shortest-lived agitator in Kenmore history. | ||

Roto-Flex
Don (jetaction) has a 65 Lady Kenmore washer with the Roto-Flex agitator and hasn't reported any ill-effects on his washing. I read some patents and depositions in a Canadian lawsuit for Whirlpool on the Dual-Action agitator some time ago. When they were testing different designs, a prototype version without flexible fins at the bottom was nicknamed the "Golden Gobbler" as it had turned a test load into mush in a rather short time. Flexible fins were added and all was well... | ||

Does the Roto-Flex NOT have a skirt at the bottom? I don't think I have ever seen one. Ed | ||

John's SQ combos were at the warehouse at the last convention. I think one of them was found in Boston? The Kenmore does look like it's sitting next to a Whirlpool in the ad - how interesting. I've only had the winged-agitator version of a WP large capacity and it seemed to do a very good job with large loads. The GE is a Dispensall and might have been a spiral ramp Activator? Most of us know what the Maytag could do with 15lbs of mixed cottons, that doesn't look rigged! | ||

Roto-Flex I'd love to get a hold of a Roto-Flex to see how it would work in a large-capacity machine... | ||

Can anyone here actually vouch for how well the Roto-Flex actually performs? I'd imagine it'd do well w/ smaller loads... | ||
