Top 5 Washers With No Agitator

Since the first washers and dryers, there have been countless advancements to make laundry day less of a chore. One of the most popular evolutions of these appliances is the advent of washers with no agitator. An agitator in a washing machine is a spindle that protrudes from the center of the machine's wash drum. It is typically equipped with fins or vanes, and spins throughout the wash cycle, moving clothes and water for, hopefully, effective cleaning. The motion of the agitator can vary depending on the wash cycle selected but can be rough on clothes. The alternative to these traditional models are washers with impellers. Impellers are low-profile rotating hubs that create strong currents in wash water during a cycle. The currents move your clothes through the water for efficient cleaning without the impeller contacting the clothes.

There are several advantages of these modern machines. One advantage of an impeller is that it takes up less space within your washer's drum, allowing for easier loading of your clothes. Typically, the impeller design is found in high-efficiency washing machines that require less water than traditional models and rotate at higher speeds during cycles. Higher spin speeds remove more water from the clothes being washed which can result in reduced drying times. Requiring less water and using less energy, these models are significantly more efficient than traditional washers. The gentler motion of the impeller is not as rough as that of the agitator. Considering all the benefits of washers with no agitator, we've listed our top five models below.
