I can definitely hear the difference between the earlier style pump in this machine. They have such a really cool higher pitched sound to them. They sound like they mean business..
It did a great job with that agitator, at first when you said you were only going to use a medium high water level for three sets of queen size sheets I said to myself he's crazy, because you need a full tub of water. But it did have wonderful rollover. All the permanent press cycle does is give an extra rinse.
It certainly loved turning over those sheets, and they probably came out very clean with minimal wrinkles. I liked the neutral drain sound as well. Nice video!
@@MatthewJames-st5wv Yes me also. Especially when they were using chrome on the panels. I can tell the difference between this KitchenAid and the whirlpool gold I have . The lid for one is definitely heavier and it has a more solid feel. Not that the whirlpool doesn’t but there is a definite noticeable difference. even the body of the machine feels a little more rigid . Probably due to the sound dampening pads inside. What I would like to know is if KitchenAid by the time they made my machine was still using zinc in the cabinets.
@@patcola7335 I wonder if yours has the insulation around the outer tub like the Catalyst has. Between that, the the motor shield, cabinet sound absorbers and the piece on the bottom, these were about as perfect as a washer can get.
@@MatthewJames-st5wv What would’ve really been nice is if Whirlpool had offered their various direct drive agitators all with big bases. Would love the lint barrel Surgilator with a big base in the KA.
Love that turquoise agitator! Great job Matt
@@DylBuilder1 Thanks Dylan

From my observation, it also drains faster too
@@MatthewJames-st5wv yes I’ve noticed that too

Yeah I use it to help rinse out some soap.

That’s what’s great about a Direct Drive. You’ve got yourself an instant KitchenAid.
Yes. But the reason my next washer will be a KitchenAid is due to build quality and design. I love the way those machines looked

I love that color of agitator. One of my favorites
