agitator hater the ugliest agitator IMHO,The Blackstone the least effective,tie between the Apex Bouncing Basket, though it is fun, and the Sear's Kenmore Penta-Swirl | ||

apex wringer Look for a apex "spiral dasher" it was in their wringer machines, it was just plain ugly. I never saw it work, but friends had a dead one in their shed for years. | ||

Roto-Flex agitators worked quite well, though not much to look at | ||

The worst, or maybe the most boring
to me is the hotpoint and the speed queen. Now in my old laundramat that I USED to have, it would fill too much sometimes and become not effective at all. The tub vanes/baffles were very small and unusual. Ok I have to say Penta-Swirl - oh please.Then next was, Only reason everyone went to the corkscrew design is because of the whip-whip agitation transmissions. Yes Austin I love your LAT with the tourquoise agitator. Steve | ||

Some of the straight vane agitator offerings GE used in the 70's were pretty boring. That calgon commercial comes to mind,but in fairness to GE, that washer looked overloaded. | ||

The Kenmore Vari-Flex is the worst for me. That huge agitator takes up so much room that the capacity is way diminished. Then, if you had the vanes all the way out, your clothes would get such a beating that the load turned into a mass of lint. Unfortunately, one of the prettiest agitators is the least effective. After watching the Hotpoint Silloette wash on several occasions, I admit that the graceful swoop of its curved vanes really don't do much, especially with larger loads. | ||
