O.K. here goes:
Is there much difference in how the "bouncy" wash plate washers work? Is there one that stands out from the heard? Do the new Maytag full fill machines have an advantage? Totally confused...

O.K. Tell me more! I'm so used to current front loaders that I'm not in tune with current wash plate machines and would like more info. I clean in several homes that have either Whirlpool, Samsung or Maytag or GE sets. Is there much difference in how these machines work? Curiosity...! Greg | ||

Was it WP that introduced the full-size toploader HE impeller machine on the U.S. market circa ~2005/2006 via the Kenmore Oasis, Whirlpool Cabrio, and then Maytag Bravos? The wash action is a reverse-rollover, aka called "blooming." They were initially based on Fisher & Paykel's floating-basket direct-drive design. F&P's impeller line is called AquaSmart. There were also agitator models which added small flexible fins to the impeller with a slim centerpost. All the major brands offer impeller models now. Most have both low-water "regular cycles" and deeper-fill "specialty" cycles. The general trick for good wash action/rollover is not to overfill with water for the load size so the items have contact with the impeller instead of floating. There are *many* videos on YouTube of various brands and models running various types of loads. See this thread for my experiences with an F&P AquaSmart. Latest Acquisitions | ||

I may be wrong, but I believe that GE had the Harmony (LG based, I think) before the others came out -- at that time, Kenmore/Whirlpool were selling the Calypso. | ||
