The ad claims "Filters every drop of water in the tub every ten seconds to remove all lint."

 

Just how did this happen?  That's one helluva filtration system.

The action of the agitator in the machine more than likely had to do with that. The turbulence those fins created was phenomenal.

That whole column above the fins stayed stationary during agitation. Only the flappers moved. They pulled water through the stationary agitator column where there was a screen at the bottom where the lint was caught. Of course, truth be told, lint got caught in the slits of the column, too, but those were not the official lint filter. When the machine did the spinning, that upper part turned with the tub which was how the fabric softener was spun out of the cup in the center of the agitator. They could not have had that type of fabric softener dispenser if the top of the agitator column had moved with the flappers.

EVERY drop of water EVERY TEN SECONDS?????  Do you realize that would represent the entire tub of water passing through the filter(s) six times a minute?!?

 

At that rate, that baby could be a hydroelectric plant.

Tons of filtering or tons of BS from the advertising agency, I don't care. I'd give the left one for this machine.
