This video highlights the differences in agitation between the RotoSwirl and RotoFlex agitators. The washers used for the comparison are a 1968 Kenmore 900 series and a 1968 Kenmore 700 series. Each washer got a queen bedsheet set (with pillow cases) fleshed out with 2-3 towels for a load. This was a fun video to make so I hope you enjoy it.
The rotoflex vanes look like they could be brutal on clothes if they caught.. I'd prefer a 57 Lady Kenmore in any pastel offered, actually. (grin).

I had a 2009 GE profile. By 2011 it was a DOA profile. It is now on it's way back to China as scrap. Never again. I found a 1992 Maytag with no control boards and I am going to keep fixing it until I am DOA.

two very nice well built machines. When i was a kid my parents a a 1972 that was very similar to the green one.

Mmmm, I wouldn't mind either one of these old beauties. Bet they'd outwash my Kenmore Elite HE3t Steam washer.

I did notice the agitation stroke on the 900 with the roto flex isn't as long as on the 700 with the roto swirl.

They are both such beautiful machines. Strong transmissions and built to last. I especially like the 14 push button design with the full length flourescent illumination over the control panel on the green machine.

@BFMVpwnage5168 , Obviously you do, or you wouldn't be looking at automatic washer videos and get hyped to respond to my comments
