They rely on the drum rotating back and forth to swish the clothes and water. When you see them operate on you tube they don't pull the clothes in and down toward the bottom - just twists back and forth. I can't see how they get anything clean.
From my research, Maytag has a commercial technology unit and speed queen has a "commercial" unit that has an agitator that works like the old style agitators. Seems no one has any in stock. Have to place an order for one.
Which brand/model are you looking for?

In reference to the agitators, pay attention to the model. for example Maytag has the same washer with an agitator (MVW7230HW) and without an agitator (MVW7232HW). The MVW7232HW is the impeller type. We bought the impeller type as our clothes do not get very dirty and the need for an aggressive agitator is not necessary. You also get a bit more room when you remove the agitator.
For those that might not know, Amana, Whirlpool, Maytag, JennAir, and Kitchen Aid are all made by the same company.
