So who makes a good analog 4.0+ cu.ft. top loader agitator washer nowadays?

I want to replace our Whirlpool Cabrio Platinum Top Loader because it takes an hour to wash a load of clothes which is just plain stupid and I think the bearings are shot because it sounds like a jet engine when it spins.

Just get a traditional design with a mechanical timer and switches.  They are cheap and easy to repair if they break but last a long time.

I had a high efficiency toploader with no agitator.

I didn't notice a difference in how it cleaned my clothes, but it was a shitty design that required repair often after 5 years of use.

So I replaced it with a 2018 digital Speed Queen. I know, sacrilegious by GD standards, but it wasn't well know that you could still get the old-school ones on the commercial line when I bought.

Ours is a bottom of the line maytag that is mechanicallly very similar to that one.   Select the load size, wash temp and cycle, set the timer and go.  Had it at least 5 years and its going strong.  Our old one was similar and  we got rid of it because I thought it was leaking.   After we got the new one I discovered the leak was something stupid and easy to fix so we gave it to a co worker.   AFAIK it's still running.

Those high efficiency washers are bullshit. Give me the kind that fills with water and actually cleans things.
This.
Ours cleans very well. I didn't think it would when I bought it but I have been pleased with how it cleans.

Well the last three toilets I have put in flush great. Again I have been surprised.  They have advanced a lot since the first ones I installed.

We replaced a Samsung front loader with a cheap GE deep fill. My clothes don’t smell funny anymore.

Blah blah blah the front loader uses less water. I have a pump in my basement that pumps fresh water out to the curb every week. I do not live in a desert that they have to pipe water from another state to.
