GE WHRE5550KWW Washer – No to Agitator, Yes to Savings
The recently introduced GE WHRE5550KW washer is unique as it is a top loader washer WITHOUT an agitator.
Since it uses a HydroWave Infusor instead, it is gentler on your clothes and creates tremendous savings for consumers. When compared to non Energy Star qualified GE topload washers the WHRE5550KWW:
Saves up to 54% in energy consumption
Saves up to 46% in water usage
Another benefit is that by removing the agitator, they have increased the capacity to 4.1 cu ft so that can handle king-size and family-size loads (hint…comforters).
Since these are priced in the upper $400′s, it is a tremendous bargain. You’re getting “frontloader functionality” at a toploader price point. Gotta Love it!

I Hate the washer without an agitator. I just got one and I am already swapping it for one with an agitator. I don’t like the squeekie noise that it makes and it tangles my sheets something awful.

Sometimes the old-school fundamentals are the way to go. Still have people who love agitators.
