EDIT June '22: I'd go with 3 out of 5 stars. I'm finding I have to use "deep water" too often. Reading over the comments added since I posted this, I think people make a lot of valid points. I personally still find the agitator helps, but only with deep water enabled. People also mention that I loaded the clothes wrong. You are supposed to clump them, not layer them. Who reads instructions anyway?

4 out of 5 stars. A quick demo of the new 2 in 1 removable agitator Whirlpool washer WTW5057L. This is not an official "he" (High Efficiency) machine as rated by EnergyStar, however, it has many "he" concepts. My apologies for mentioning "he" too many times in the video.

Likes:
- the optional agitator
- paddles that actually agitate and are more than nubs
- deep water option
- right-sized for most people, not a huge machine

Dislikes:
- No countdown timer or decent feedback as to cycle progress
- The sounds can be unpleasant for some people. All washers make noise though.
- You have to download the cycle guide to understand your choices, they didn't include them in the user manual. https://www.whirlpool.com/content/dam...
