Hi Steve.. I had no problems ever with clothes getting under the agitator. there is so much water current movement going on when it agitates,I don't see how anything could! The bottom wings really do kick the clothes back up, more than you might think. Great for really large loads. if there was any way for me to get this machine, I would be a happy man! Rich |

Hi steve- as long as your don't over load, slow agitation is fine also. I agree, I like the looks of the orginal surgilator better, but the double duty is a great preformer. unless someone else has had a experiance with clothes getting caught under or torn, I really don't think its a concern to worry about. Id have this model ANYDAY to any of the DD whirlpool or sears models on the market today. I will say, I HAVE had clothes caught under the DD sears/whirlpool agitators. Rich |

I used one for a while in my electronic WP washer and thought it was one of the best large capacity agitators. In the same machine, I also used a Penta-Swirl agitator and the rollover and washing was far less effective than the agitator from WP with fins. Nothing ever got caught under it nor did I get the impression that there was anymore wear & tear on articles. I think by this point in the electronic control machines, there were sensors that determined when the water had been emptied from the tub and started spin immediately rather than having to wait until the 4 minute drain period had elapsed. Saved a little time in the cycle, especially with smaller loads. |

The very first electronic control LFA-series Whirlpool had a variable drain, so I imagine it was featured throughout the belt-drive line. Double the time for pressure switch reset, plus 30 seconds, assuming that same algorithm was used for all of them. I have a friend still running a mid 1980s belt-drive Imperial Seventy (I've posted at least a couple pics of it), with the winged Surgilator. Never heard any complaints about snagged or damaged clothing. |
