A well designed top loader using copious amounts of water is superior when it comes to thoroughly washing and rinsing large items or ones heavily loaded with dirt/sand/silt. It's simple physics that higher volumes of water can hold larger amounts of dirt in suspension. Icing on the cake if it has a well designed manually cleaning filter, just my personal opinion there.
But honesty, 80-90% of the population could easily get away with a front loader most of the time. | ||

What is the model of this washer coming out? I wish GE would return to the filter-flo system. I wonder what that would look like today. | ||

Here's a link for those interested.
www.abt.com/product/15060... The last 2 warranty items seem backwards: 1 year parts and labor (doesn't sound like they have much faith in the product). 3 year warranty on the tub. 10 year warranty on the direct drive motor. So, they're predicting the motor to outlast the NeveRust™ stainless steel tub by more than a factor of 3? Interesting. | ||

Top Load Vs Front Load Washers To get the same cleaning in a TL washer you have to use at least 3 times as much water and 3-4 times as much detergent, it is just way too expensive to use a full fill TL washer,
The only way I use them is where I can reuse the wash water otherwise it either is just too wasteful or does a poor job.

When someone posts about a top loader and you come along and say "i hate top loaders" i think it's safe to say that would be called trolling. | ||

Odd thing about LGs 10 year warranty on the pancake motor is if the seal leaks the motor warranty is void! | ||

As mentioned already, good to excellent results can be had with most laundering in a top loader, but you'll need copious amounts of water. That is the real anathema concerning top loading washers with central beaters especially.
This being said washing machine makers such as Hurley Machine company who made Thor cylinder washers for domestic/light commercial use, knew then what is widely known and accepted today. H-axis washing machines generally give better results, with less wear on items and using less water/supplies than top loaders. Consider commercial/industrial laundries never used top loaders with central beaters. They went with H-axis washers powered by steam or other powered belts, then individual motors. | ||

Not only LG.... actually everybody is. So many customers buzz us ever single day begging to an agitator that its impossible not to hear them. Ous is coming in appox. 60 days. And dont be surprised it it looks like a very well known agitator. The whole industry is taking a ride on vintage models intentionally. | ||

That agitator will work well in the LG top loading washer. Some people will complain about it taking up space but it will certainly circulate things better than the wash plate/impeller will. May very well be a option and could possibly be installed on existing LG washers that have been bought not too long ago and the wash performance will certainly be better with that agitator.

Controls
Anyone curious about the controls can see a closer look here...
There appears to be a deep fill option, which appears to be set up like GE where you press it once to add a few gallons, and you hold for a maximum fill. Also interesting is the "Inverter Direct Drive" font has changed.

Water, Water, Everywhere.............. If using less water in washers somehow resulted in cleaner clothes, we would be all for it. Unfortunately, it doesn't; so, would prefer that the water consumption police stay out of our business. We view it as a personal choice. | ||

Infusor, I suggest you look through the user manual to familiarize yourself with operating the machine so you can figure out how your partner will run the machine and what you might have to show him modification that are required to meet what your worry might be. I have to do this with my partner. Use the link to look at themanual.

Loading large items first: When I was a kid collecting washing machine user manuals, I recall reading in one or two of them that large items should be loaded first; smaller items on top. Can’t recall which brand or brands made that directive. At any rate, it must have left quite an impression, because now that my daily driver is a Speed Queen toploader, I always load large items first.
Don’t know if it really makes a difference, but it makes me feel better, lol. Just dawned on me that I’ve had the 9 Series SQ for three years and have never once experienced an out-of-balance load that caused the tub to strike the cabinet or the spin speed to slow down. In fact, the spins are hands-down the quietest part of the cycle—once the water has been thrown, of course. | ||

 I always load large items first too. I think it helps to keep the load balanced throughout the cycle.
My Roper RTW4516FW TL spins on balance every load and quietly. Its not wasteful on water if I use the Normal/Regular cycle with auto sense fill. And it cleans and rinses thoroughly with a dual action agitator and spray rinse in 34 min. Perfectly suitable for almost every average mixed load. For $399.99 I couldn’t be more pleased.

Softner Re read the posted link. It very clearly states if using softener you must select fabric softener in the options menu. This will eliminate the spray rinse and result in a deep water rinse. | ||

Strangely reading between the lines I'll bet if you select extra rinse it will skip spray rinse and do a deep fill instead? | ||

TurboWash on the LG top loaders does the spin washing action at periods during the main wash, where it spins the drum with the wash water and clothes together and in some of the machines, actually causes water to flush up and over the basket ring and back over onto the load. It can only do this with the HE water levels, so it makes sense that it would be disabled for deep fill cycles.

agitator or not...LG's are not known for their longevity, you will never find one in a laundromat setting...
could be fun to play with, but not something I would want to own.... after viewing vids, doesn't seem like much more movement than the Speed Queen TR series agitub design.... in any of these vids, I can't help but wonder, who uses a full tub of water to wash only a few articles?.....lets recall the Kenmore introduction of the Dual Action, with a FULL load of clothes... | ||
