Funky looking "Adamananorgetag" agitator. Personally, I'd go with a porcelain or Stainless Steel tub every time. Plastic like that is somewhat pourous and will eventually collect different soils and oils. Would'nt want a plastic loo either! -Steve |

Dual action agitators are very boring in my opinion. I would stay far away from them. |

I agree Matt; thanks to John (Coldspot66) NONE of my washers have Dual-Action agitators in them! YAY! |

They are the best for turnover with large loads.Boring....i guess,but most people just want clean clothes. |

The dual-action agitators are almost a must in the smaller, 24" wide machines. The tubs are deep, but narrower than the 29" models making for more difficult turnover of larger loads. I've had several of both agitator styles in the 24" models and the DAA wins, hands down. I think many of the models Whirlpool offer now have the gentle wash system that shifts to slow speed agitation at about the 6 min. mark in Normal cycle. This helps with the roughness a lot, but with large loads, the DAA is really a necessity to keep the load moving at the slower speed.
