A central agitator, a spindle-like component within the drum, provides the mechanical action for cleaning fabrics. These machines are commonly found in residential settings due to their relatively simple operation and space-saving design, often fitting comfortably in smaller laundry areas.
Top-load washers from this manufacturer offer distinct advantages, including generally lower purchase prices compared to front-load models and quicker wash cycles.
