Our old 1979 made Maytag died about six years ago so we bought a new Maytag, one of those HE agitatorless machines. Hated it, didn’t clean as well with the water saving feature, clothes came out all wrinkled, then it died last year. We bought a used old fashioned Kenmore agitator model. Works great!
We just bought a Maytag with the agitator. It’s great.
