I have a Whirlpool 8100 Series 8 kg TL. It was 2nd hand when we got it, and close to 15 years old now. I never have things wrapped around the agitator because of the design of the wings on the agitator, the kind of spiral around it (if this makes no sense I can take a pic) so the clothes and nappies are always being pushed away from it, However we know it is on it's last legs, I doubt it will leave Townsville.

I am considering either the F&P Aquasmart or the Electrolux 9.5kg washer. They both have the same number of stars on the water rating and the Electrolux is $100 cheaper and can handle 1.5 kg more. Now if only I could talk DH into buying me a new machine now
