[QUOTE="klmno, post: 483596, member: 3699"] Nope- that house I was renting before had front-loading HE and I was less than impressed. I'd heard people say that they like the top loading HE a lot better. These look exactly like older top-loading, except it looks like someone chopped the agitator off and only left a stump that's a few inches tall. I asked about how it agitates like that and that's when he explained that it only fills the barrel about 1/3 of the way with water and that 'stump', along with the base that turns at the bottom (just like the white plastic 'base' at the bottom of a typical agitator). So that's why I'm wondering how much this really does flip clothes over and how much CAN it flip over if it's something larger and heavier, like a comforter or something. That was my whole reason for getting the larger capacity- so I won't have to go to the laundry mat do do these larger things when I spring clean. These are Whirlpool calibra (or something like that) but they had a couple different model numbers even for that 'series' and I don't know which these are. I wouldn't mind getting real inexpensive ones and sell them when I move but if I'm going to have them a long time, I like Whirlpool if I can afford them./ Lowes was also offering free delivery, so that makes a difference., especially with that price mark down on these. But, I don't want to get them if they don't get stuff clean. Oh- I noticed that all the middle-of-the road washers, no matter what the brand, had this 'stump' and HE design. They all looked the same and they had GE and Maytag, too. [/QUOTE]
