agitator models

I recommend you don't get one ;) Get a front loader instead.

Get a Miele front loader.

Every front loader is different.

"I have a front loader and it has been nothing but GARBAGE!!"

I'm on my third (they've been around in Canada for a LOT longer than in the US), and they've all been great. Different strokes.......

Or you got a lemon. It happens. My last dishwasher was a lemon.

The two best top-load washers with agitator is the Maytag MVWP575GW that comes with a 5 year warranty included, and the GE 755 (GTW755CSMWS White, GTW755CPMDG Gray).

All you need to do is look at the videos on You Tube of the Maytag and the GE and you can clearly see how well they clean, also from the reviews. If my 2006 GE top-load needed to be replaced, I'd probably go with either this Maytag 575 or GE 755.
