I had a top loader w/o agitator GE. It did NOT get clothes cleaner, no option to fill tub to what you want- it "senses" what is needed. Husband has lawn & landscape business clothes didn't get clean, even lightly soiled ones. Tub agitation constantly twisted up sheets, shirts etc. Took it back and got a new model with agitator. Salesman said they had had many returned, different models. My DS & DDIL love theirs, but their clothes are never really dirty and they dry clean many items. Just my experience. I'm 5'1" I had to use a stool to get to the bottom!

I have a Samsung HE washer, top load large capacity without the agitator...I hated it at first because the normal cycle would barely fill the tub 1/4 with water and only cold water no matter if you set it to hot water..and you could only put about a half dozen clothing items it to wash. THEN...I figured out if I put it on the bedding cycle, it will fill all the way up, no matter how full of clothes it is and you can do a hot wash if desired...ha! ..so I always just use that cycle for either a hot wash or a warm wash and set it for a pre-wash and extra rinse too. Our clothes come out cleaner than the old washer I used to have would get them. I love my Samsung washer now

Just my 2cents I love a Top Load washer with a agitator and thats what I own
seems to get my clothes cleaner. But I to love my Old Matag Winger washer just love getting out on a sunny day and washing and hanging my clothes and bedding I throw them in the dryer for a few seconds to get the allergies off.Just Saying

I have a new Samsung and i hate it, it is one that decides how much water to use by weighing the clothes, my husband added a small hose to our laundry sink now i add the clothes, and i add alot of water with the hose add the soap and use the bedding cycle it works a bit better, but not at all like my old Speed Queen.

My new Maytag has a "deep water" option. I am only 5'2" but I don't have an issue with reaching into the drum. Msybe my arms are longer? Yes, it is deep but it is do-able.

I have a new Maytag washer, and was told it pushes the water through the cloths, and it didn`t wash the rag rugs
clean. When I asked hubby for a small stool to stand on, he said no way. If I would reach in and there was nothing
to stop me, I may not be able to get out. I`m 5`3" tall and rather old. I don`t think I would buy another one.
