F&P Gentle Annie Belt driven by 3 phase motor, no transmission, no float up basket, just a pair of pulleys with a peg on each - if the shaft reverses constantly, the pegs don't collide so only agitator turns. If the shaft keeps turning one way, the pegs collide and agitator pulley drives spin pulley. So simple, so reliable. | ||

My vote goes to... the lg built washers. There's one motor driving the drum. In my case, it's the front load tromm series. | ||

 Jerome, are you aware that the type of motor you reference on your LG frontloader is a direct relation to Fisher & Paykel's SmartDrive motor? The design concept goes back much further. There is at least one patent-of-the-day that rotates through the daily offering which dates years before F&P introduced SmartDrive. | ||
