Buddy of mine just bought a new washer and he claims it doesn't have an agitator. He also claims it doesn't get his clothes clean, but I suspect that's because they've removed the phosphates from the detergent.

I need to buy some TSP as my dishwasher no longer cuts the mustard. Wouldn't hurt to add some to the washer either. It's a Maytag top loader clone, probably the best washing machine ever made.

It's an Admiral, purchased from Monkey Wards...if that gives you any idea how old it is.

The washing machine we bought maybe five years back, a Maytag Atlantis with a big stainless steel tub. Bought a GE diswaaher same day, huge interior but only about 5" of clearance underneath, hookup was a royal PITA.

The new front loaders don't need an agitator they claim they use less water as well.

Can't buy TSP here anymore, I used to use it to clean the electrostatic air filters back when we both smoked. Now all I need to do is vacuum the filters.
