Have you tested this ideas out by chance? (just wondering as I'm curious).
To me the biggest down fall in the idea would be the suspension system of the washer. Most people do not really load their machine really well balanced. Its the water and agitation that distributes and evens the load out. A spin tub design would have to do a lot of load redistribution/balancing I think. |

A recirculation pump would do nothing, the clothing is already under water, there is plenty of water circulation.
These washers actually do a good of distributing the load, they just can not wash large dirty loads.
Mr WM I suggest you get one of these washers and experiment with it, many of us including myself have used this machine, maybe if you can solve this problem you can sell your idea to SQ, from what I hear they have tried about everything short of actually fixing the problem, and yes they have experimented with machines with an agitator that moves separately from the tub but they do not want to spend the money to build it correctly.

If Speed Queen added a water recirculation to their perfect wash series, things would improve. After the freshwater turns off,, the final spin cycle will finish after 10 minutes. |

The TR design doesn't index the spin basket, the basket is directly driven as part of the wash action with the agitator affixed to it and oscillates fully back-and-forth at the same rate and stroke-distance as the agitator. Frigidaire's SkinnyMini has action like the TR although the agitator and basket is a unitary molded assembly, not separate parts bolted together. That's a different situation than a "traditional" indexing basket which has the agitator oscillating normally and the basket turning separately from it and typically in only one direction converse of the agitator's stroke in the opposite direction. |
