Top loaders don't spin out as well as front loaders. We have had absolutely
no problems with our Whirlpool which is five years old now; it uses much

agitator uses less than the traditional top loaders. It really does get a
lot more water out of the clothes during the spin cycle, which saves us more
money in the dryer.
