[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a top load Samsung without an agitator and I use a speed queen at another house. They’re both fine. [b]This isn’t that complicated. The speed queen uses more water and agitates more aggressively. [/b]I think most of our clothes don’t need that and I have to believe it contributes some to wear and tear. For major stains, it’s still mostly about pretreating and choosing the right chemical weapons.

No one said they were confused. We just known that HE machines do not work well. Too little water is what actually causes damage to increased friction. Same with machines w/o an agitator-the fabric just rubs together in a big ball in little water, instead of swishing properly in water around an agitator.[/quote]

I don’t find this to be true. You can set the Samsung to use more water. The main problem is that it doesn’t do a good job pulling things that float down into the water, compared to an agitator. But there are pluses, like you can more easily wash big bulky things by letting them span the middle. You’re not supposed to do that but it works fine and it gets blankets and stuff like that done effectively.

They’re both fine, people just like being mad at “newfangled” things. [/quote]
