Verdict
A 4.7-5.3 cu ft top-load washer with a 2-in-1 removable agitator — Tom's Guide's best top-loader pick — listed at $798.99 on Whirlpool's own site; seed score 8.2 from manufacturer specs and aggregated owner ratings until our bench protocol runs.
- Tom's Guide best top-loader pick
- 2-in-1 removable agitator
- Soft-close glass lid
- Seed score — bench protocol pending
- Top-load format: harsher on fabrics than front-loaders
Best for: Households that want agitator cleaning power with impeller flexibility.
Skip it if: You wash delicates daily — front-loaders remain gentler.

Videos & independent reviews
Coverage gathered from around the web so you can check our verdict against everyone else’s. We label who published what — manufacturer videos are marketing; independent outlets received nothing from us.

Videos are hosted on YouTube and we don’t control their content. “Manufacturer video” is published by Whirlpool’s own channel; independent reviewers are not affiliated with this site and these links earn us nothing. Review excerpts are quoted verbatim with attribution — quoting is not endorsement.
