The Difference Between Agitator vs. Impeller WashersAgitators and impellers are both found in top-loading washing machines, like these top-load washers available from Maytag, but they clean in two different ways. So what’s the main difference between agitators vs. impellers? Show
Washing machines with agitators use a central post that twists back and forth, rubbing against clothes to help break apart stains. In contrast, washing machines with impellers use a low-profile cone or disc that spins/rotates to rub clothes against each other to get them clean.
How Agitator and Impeller Washers WorkA washer with an agitator gets its cleaning power from the central post that twists back and forth, while washers with impellers use the low-profile disc to rub the
clothes together in order to remove stains. Below we break down their differences. Top-Load Washers With Agitators Agitators are tall vertical spindles, vaned or finned, in the center of the washer. Washers with agitators are all about the motion in the wash basket; and, despite what you may have heard, advances in agitator technology ensure they’re not hard on clothes. They typically move in multiple ways for optimal cleaning, including: SPRAYING ACTIONSoaks clothes with water recirculated from the wash/rinse cycle. WASH BASKET ACTIONRotates for a hard-hitting clean. AGITATOR ACTIONRubs against clothes to help break apart stains and loosen soils. Top-Load Washers With ImpellersDon't let low water levels fool you: Washers with impellers use a small amount of water in order to optimize the friction of the clothes rubbing against each other.

what helps deliver gentle, efficient and thorough cleaning.
