Whirlpool 2-in-1 Removable Agitator Washer is a gimmick

I actually like his washer, but in my opinion... the removable agitator is a gimmick. Model: WTW8127LW and WTW5057LW

I was looking at this thinking it would make cleaning blankets and pillows easier. My worry was finding parts if something should happen 5yrs from now. Never seen an impeller only washer before. I need aggressive agitation so showing the washer in action was very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to post this review. You just saved me $1000. 👍🏽

We love ours! In our first load, we nearly filled it up with clothes... And it looked like yours, barely moving. But, with normal sized loads, the agitator does fine. No, it's not as "agressive" as our old washer, but it moves the clothes fine. And we love the spin cycle. The clothes come out nearly dry.
I recall washing really large loads in our old washer. That agressive agitator couldn't do much then either. The key is to not overfill the washer.... New or old.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. We just recently purchased this washing machine. It has its pros and cons. I am used to the old fashion aggressive style washing machine.

THANK YOU for the honest review!!! 👏👏👏 It seems like most YouTubers post NOTHING BUT positive reviews in an effort to solicit ad revenue and likes from consumers looking for any justification to buy something new. I don't subscribe to very many channels but I just subscribed to yours because it's a relief to see there are still a few ethical content providers who will give objective opinions supported by video evidence. 😎 You are very much appreciated and I hope more will follow your example.

Your video help me decide on a new washer. I too had high expectations on the machine’s versatility but facts are facts.

Thanks man for your consumer diligence in reporting your ownership.

Omg. I was about to do a whole $1000 on buying this. Maytag did a yellow towel test to show what the agitator does. Showed the value. But I have a lot of clothes that need gentle cycles. So this idea “REMOVABLE” agitator would be sufficient. Nah. Thanks for this video. It was so helpful.

Thanks for confirming what I already suspected. I appreciate the short, to the point video.

I bought this machine thinking the same thing but I still like the machine too. Whirlpool also has an assortment of extended plans when you register the washer and dryer.

Doesn't agitate.... Sounds like kts agitating you ! 🤣 😜 Thanks for the review, I'm thinking of getting one.

Thanks for your review. I wish I saw this before I got mine. I have to agree with you, the agitator doesn't seem to really agitate. Luckily I'm still within the window to return it to Best Buy.

Thanks for this review brother, we want an aggressive old school style agitator and this just isn't it...

[kristycantwell]

Looks like on your first load you had too many clothes and maybe needed more water. If you decide to do that would you put it up? Thanks!

[melroypinto]

Thanks for the review. It helped me change my decision.

The key is to buy one with a dual action agitator. For some reason this is only on the lower end models. I bought the base whirlpool washer and it has very good agitation. Not as good as an older direct drive but good for a modern washer. Almost bought a Maytag that had higher capacity but I watched a video and the agitation was poor, just like this one.

You just saved me so much time and $1000! Thank you!

Great honest review I was looking at this machine also. I changed my mind after seeing someone else give a review on it and I saw the wash action it’s the same as an impeller Washer.

Thanks for the video. We are now looking for the washer and dryer with an emphasis on the 2 and 1 concept cost will be a big factor, seems there is a big sale each year for Presidents Day, lol. I noticed the diameter of the agitator is very small in compared to other. any suggestions would be great, thanks.

We were looking at this model also, but we got turned off. we were worried about when you take the agitator out there’s a hole in the bottom and soap can easily get into it causing mold. They should have some kind of cap where it stops soap getting in.

Honestly my issue is just how many buttons it takes to start a load and how many extra settings you need to turn on or off. The washer is fine. No issues besides caked on powder detergent that requires a second cycle. My issue is with the matching dryer and the steam sensor issue. Brand new only way to run a load throw a full cycle is a timed dry. Everything else shuts off within 3-7 minutes due to steam sensor. So essentially cannot use any other cycle.
