Westinghouse could have had a great washer, with the ramped agi, and the two minute spray rinse, if they only ditched the indexing tubs. It really affected what could have been great turn over. The other thing they didn't have was an affective lint filter. The amount of lint collected out of 9 towels, compared to what GE would have collected, is pathetic. I liked the idea of the Hand wash agitator, but their engineering on their top loaders, was marginal. Just my opinion. Loved, and owned an 1984 front loader, that was the bomb.

Me neither understand indexing tubs. They said it was to improve wash (even though it did the exact opposite) and I think the reality was the cost cutting. After all it was a feature in cheap machines such as Franklin Western aauto etc... And Westinghouse always cared more about front loaders, they started making toploaders when the market required toploaders . Top of the line models were front loaders, TL's were the cheaper Westinghouse offerings. Westinghouse eventually kept being cheap machines ended the FL's and IIRC was the first one or one of the first ones with stuff such as plastic inner tubs with not much surprise.
