Product review (5 stars): No longer agitated
The washing machine in my apartment made this AWFUL banging sound whenever we did laundry. Turns out we needed a new filter/agitator.

Chances are, if you're buying this, you already know the old one lifts right out, and this one fits right onto the center piece of the drum, sung as a glove. What you may not know is that it catches lint. So it's helpful to lift this part out of the washer every 5-10 loads, remove the lint from the inside of the lint screen, and place it right back on.

I've been using this for about 7 months as of this review, and the part is still as functional as it was when it was new.
