Towels vary so much in thickness, the only way you can really tell how many is to observe the machine. Another good reason to install a lid-switch bypass-switch. Our bath towels are very heavy, my A606 will properly wash about 9 of them. Ken D. |

IMHO.....wether it's a big tub or standard, helical or orbital, the load sensor agitator works the best on all water levels and types of loads with no question of roll over....many may argue this but even the power fin of any model, once the load reaches a certain point, roll over will slow down or stop, but with a load sensor agitator, you load will roll over no matter what, and clothes will be pulled under......I have switched out many agitators from model to model, to see the effects of each one, with a half load of clothe and a full tub of water anymachine will perform good, BUT wash a real load of clothes and see how well your agitator performs, and thats what you won't see on youtube, which Scrubflex is trying to figure out.......all machines have their pros and cons, it's just a matter of "can it do better"?

I've washed up to 24 large bath towels in my LG without a hitch. It will, however, slow and strain if I did that size of a load and used the SANITARY cycle (which takes about an hour to wash; you can hear it croak and creak and you can see it slow down. First time that happened it scared the softener out of me; I thought, oh great, I just spent 1400 on this machine that no one in the US can repair without consulting a handbook).I love top loaders like the rest of y'all but nothing has compared to my WM 2432. 18 towels in my beautiful poppy 1-18 was a strain. I wouldn't even think of putting more than 8 in the Dependable Care.

The secret to good turnover in a Maytag Dependable Care is to gently wad the towels and drop them in rather than wrapping them around the agitator. The wadding will turn quicker and balance easier than towels that the agitator has to work half the cycle to get into the best position. This goes for sheets as well, pile gently rather than |
