LARGE CAPACITY TOP LOAD WASHERS WITH AN AGITATOR

Take on your largest loads with plenty of space to wash your household’s towels, blankets and other bulky items. Agitator washers often use plenty of water to clean clothes against a tall, vertical spindle in the center of the washer, making it a great option if you regularly wash large loads of laundry.

LARGE CAPACITY TOP LOAD WASHERS WITH AN IMPELLER

Impellers use low water levels and create gentle friction between garments to help fight stains. The low water levels optimize the friction of clothes rubbing against each other to gently loosen dirt and stains to deliver a thorough clean.
