I recently bought a new washer. I like it a lot and it does fill up. It has a Deep Water wash selection. Top loading and no agitator. I didn't think I'd like no agitator but it's really nice and there is more room in the washer. Also there is a quick wash cycle. I use that a lot for my everyday clothes. It was on sale at Lowes for under $500. It's quiet too.
I have no complaints about it.

I set the washer to spin several times and my quilts seem to be damp instead of wet wet. The selection is Drain and Spin.

This is exactly the one we bought last summer. Really like it. I use the Deep Water cycle quite a bit for very large loads. It has a Bulky items/Sheets cycle, several water temp options. My son uses the Quick Wash for his restaurant uniforms if there’s not a bigger load for them. I like that it’s straightforward and has easy to read dials, I like being able to add clothes after it starts. Only thing I wish it had is a delay option, but that’s not something I used all the time.

I have a Whirlpool top loading washer that I got about 15 years ago the most it has ever needed was a $2.00 part about a years ago. It works fine. I like Whirlpool appliances a great deal as all my kitchen appliances are Whirlpool. Good reputation and easy to service.

When our machine started to leak, we bought a new -- top of the line water saver Maytag. I am so sorry since. Water saver means washing in about an inch of water. So I use the bulky sheets mode for everything -- at least I can get 6 inches of water. I think the low water saver beats the fabrics to death. Think of the Hindu ladies beating the clothes on rocks by the river. I would never buy a water saver again.

I can't wait till my HE front loader dies!!! Worst decision I ever made. It cleans the clothes but I can't soak anything.
I have to use the washtub.

I've had a water saver Maytag for a number of years now and like it. I'm pleased with the results. I have to say though I didn't like the small water used for most loads so I always have the extra rinse option on. Not having an agitator has been fine. I even feel the clothes are softer somehow without one.

I bought a Speed Queen in 2015 at the recommendation of a service repair person. It's a very simple top loading machine that fills up to the top. It cost $800. I love the fact that I can pick the water level and can soak things in it. That feature saved a quilt that had bled. The only complaint I have is that the water stops filling when I raise the door.

After replacing a Whirlpool and then a Maytag that were less than 8 years old, we bought a Speed Queen Commercial Heavy Duty (model AWNE9RSN115TW01) in 2018. With this machine I can let the washer choose how much water to use (Eco button) or I can choose the amount of water I want the washer to use. It has several buttons that allow me to select the type of load (e.g. bulky, delicates, permanent press, etc.); water temperature; dirt level, etc. It's a top loader with an agitator and does a much better job washing the clothes than the top loader Maytag without the agitator ever did. I opted for the Speed Queen after asking 2 washer repairmen what the best washing machine was. Both immediately recommended Speed Queen as a washer that is likely to last 20 years or more without problems. We paid $1047 for it in 2018.

I’m happy with my GE top loader with an agitator. I can lift the lid during all but the spin cycle in case I forget something. I can hold a button and fill it. It has a speed wash I use most of the time. I can wash a big quilt in it and presoak if I want to get the basting glue and markings out. So far I’m pleased with it. It is almost 3 years old.
