Agitator Vs. No Agitator | What's Best for Washing Your Clothes?
When buying a new washing machine, it’s important to consider is you want one with an agitator, or without an agitator. We are going to tell you the benefits of each, and hopefully this will help you decide which kind of washer would be best for you and your lifestyle.
An agitator is a tall mechanism that goes from the top of the washing machine to the bottom. These typically have spiral pieces around them for moving clothes from the top of the machine to the bottom when it spins.
The machine without the agitator will have a very small post on the inside. In the bottom of these machines are small raises in the metal that span the whole bottom of the machine. This will make sure your clothes don't get pulled through the holes on the perimeter of the washing bin.
Since the machines without agitators don’t have a big post up the middle, they will have a bigger capacity. You’ll be able to fit more clothes in these machines versus the ones that have agitators. The machines with the agitators will struggle to properly wash bulkier items like sheets or comforters.
Although, the agitator helps in general with getting better wash action. Your clothes will be more clean from this versus a washer without an agitator. Delicate items are better washed in a non agitator machine since this will give you less wear and tear on clothes.
Mainly you’ll be looking at those few things: capacity, what cleans better, and what is more gentle on clothes. Hopefully this helped determine the difference in washers with agitators and without agitators, and which will work best for you and your clothes.
