What does the removable agitator do?

It lets you wash with the agitator for tough stains or take it out to free space for bulky items like comforters. You reinstall it for normal loads.

Is it good for washing comforters?

Yes. The large drum and no-agitator setup suit queen and king comforters. Wash one at a time and check the drum balances evenly.

Does it have smart features?

No. It has no Wi-Fi or app control. It relies on dial and button cycles, including deep water and heavy duty.

How does it compare with front loaders?

It loads from the top and generally costs less to buy, but front loaders typically spin faster, use less water and are gentler on fabrics.

Why does it shake or go off balance?

Heavy single items like a blanket can clump on one side. Redistribute the load and make sure the washer sits level on the floor.

What cycles does it offer?

It includes normal, heavy duty, delicate and bulky-item cycles, plus a deep-water option. Exact cycle names vary by model year.
