Re: NEED HONEST OPINIONS OF HE AGITATOR WASHERS

I always had an agitator in my washers up until just a few years ago when i bought a HE washer with no agitator---I was forever untangling the clothes after a wash---and I did not over stuff it at all and it seemed to take alot longer to wash. Didn't have any smell issues and with no agitator it was tempting to over fill it. My washer had no bells and whistles either --now I am in an apt and have the agitator kind again, a GE--not sure if it is HE but the agitator is much smaller and there seems to have more room around it. sounds like a newer washer and it seems to do a good job. I like having an agitaoter as I think it helps clean the stuff off the clothes with that type of friction. Never had any damage to clothing with either type of washer. If I were to buy a washer , I would look a one with the agitator again.
