I bought the Whirlpool washer because it was advertised as a large capacity washer. It does have a large tub. The problem is that about a month after it came out of warranty, it developed a loud squeal from a belt. Had to pay to fix that. And it does not clean. Put a comforter in there and wash, it still has clumps of pet hair on it. It takes at least two washings to get a comforter clean. And that tub will not fill adequately to do the job. Not happy with it, but I will keep it because it is paid for and I am not in the mood to buy another one. It does have a removable agitator, but I have found that top loaders with no agitator allows the clothes to twist and tie in knots. So I keep the agitator in at all times. It is just not good for me.
