My daughter has been looking for a new machine. You can still get them with an agitator but they are few and far between. I would not have one without an agitator. My husband was an electrician at a cement plant and the non-agitator ones would have never got his clothes clean. I have used them in laundromats and they do not get your clothes clean or rinse the soap out of them. Just my 2 cents worth.
