The Dual Action Cabrio has a standard agitator, if you're more comfortable with that. The impeller version ratchets up the 'cool' factor. Jasonl at this site has one and he really likes it a lot. The wash plate is actually an older model called the Calypso. Stay away from it! Reliability has not been good and there are linting and tangling issues. If you want energy/water efficiency, and were looking at a front-loader to begin with, why not consider the Whirlpool Duet front-loader? It gets great reviews at Consumer Reports and is a reliable machine. Let us know what you wind up purchasing and have fun! | ||

If you have a Lowe's near you (relatively speaking) I'd keep an eye out for deals on a Duet pair. A few months back they had a great deal on the most affordable pair, below $700 for the washer and pedestal was included with both. I've not seen a better deal before or since. I've decided the wasteful and belt-eating Amana (aka Speed Queen) washer I now own will be my last top loader. Not only are front loaders quiet and more economical to operate, they are also more ecologically friendly by not using so much water and electricity to do their jobs, they have become much more mainstream here in the U.S. in recent years and we have more brands and models of FL's to choose from than ever before. | ||
