since its not a HydroWave machine, we'll go with thats its a regular short stroke agitation, not that it will do anything superior with a full load, I see you only washing a small amount for a full tub of water to get good result and turn over on something like this...I would probably just wash half loads, to keep the load near the bottom of the agitator
maybe this video will help you decide for yourself.....not the best agitation and rollover IMHO... CLICK HERE TO GO TO Yogitunes's LINK |

That machine tub & agitator looks quite BOL to me. That was about the same kind of agitation we got out of our 1984 Maytag top loader. It has to sit and work for about 5 minutes before any rollover started. I thought it was too boring so after 7 years or so we upgraded to a Whirlpool that we still have today. |

Not that I know much about US style toploaders but this washer really looks cheap in my eyes. The wash action is poor, too, as shown in Yogitune's video link... |

It's not all THAT bad - lol. A friend of mine bought a new Hotpoint branded washer with this agitator in 1995 when they first changed to the plastic basket design. We replaced the knob on the washer a few years later and it never saw a wrench or trouble again until two years ago when it began to drip water from the center seal and he replaced it with a WP/Maytag top-loader. For a two person household, a little more than 14 years trouble-free service out of a washer is nothing to scoff at. I know he was not under-loading that washer by any measure and was always happy with the results. The rollover was slower than other brands, but that's not necessarily indicative of poor washing, just less entertaining to watch. |

I bought one of these agitators when I got one of the first agitator Hydrowave machines. It came with a dual action agitator which barely worked on the first load. Once I got that BOL agitator in the machine though, it was a lot of fun! It had excellent turnover and increased the capacity a bit compared to the DA counterpart. Of course, the Hydrowave machines have the 360 degree stroke so that helped a lot too with turnover. |

Was this machine the "infamous" "plastic" GE washers? |
