I had to replace my washer about 3 years ago & it's an LG. When we bought it, I didn't notice that it didn't have an agitator. I thought it had one & that it "popped up" from the bottom where there is a round circular looking thing...silly me! Well, it also conserves on water by the weight of the clothes that are put into the machine. When I want to wash with a full tub of water, I put it on "bulky/bedding" cycle & it will fill to the top. Yes, it takes longer to wash the clothes but I feel better with more water since it doesn't agitate very hard. Plus it's very deep & I have to tippy toe to reach the bottom to remove my clothes. Lessons learned with my next washer!
