My top loader has numerous settings too. It even has a deep water wash setting. That would probably be our favorite wash setting. It still doesn't really do much since the clothes never get submerged - they just flop around on a bird bath level of water.

My point was that you can probably still get an old style washer that uses a lot of water. Well, at least I've seen a few washers with the old style agitators.
