A laundry treating apparatus includes a tub, a drum, and a rotator, the rotator includes a bottom portion positioned on a bottom surface, a pillar protruding from the bottom portion toward an open surface, a blade protruding from an outer circumferential surface of the pillar, and a cap coupled to an end of the pillar facing toward the open surface, and the blade is constructed such that one end thereof faces toward the bottom portion and the other end thereof faces toward the open surface, and the other end thereof is disposed on the cap.

An agitation element includes a base, a shaft extending from the base generally along a vertical direction, at least one fin, and a plurality of ribs. Each of the plurality of ribs extends from the base and radially outward from the shaft. Each of the plurality of ribs includes a radially outward portion, the radially outward portion including two opposing entirely convex sidewalls and defining a maximum width and a maximum height, wherein a ratio of the maximum width to the maximum height is between 0.8 and 1.2. Each of the plurality of ribs further includes a radially inward portion, the radially inward portion including two opposing sidewalls.

A method and apparatus for a laundry treating appliance dispense treating chemistry into a rotating basket. A dispenser can be a centrifugal dispenser adapted to move or dispense treating chemistry based upon rotational movement of a basket. The dispenser can include a holding pocket to hold a volume of treating chemistry, a transferring pocket to centrifugally receive the treating chemistry, and a dilution pocket to dilute the treating chemistry and dispenser the treating chemistry.

A laundry treating appliance includes a first basket assembly including a first basket defining a first treating chamber for receiving laundry for treatment in a first wash environment. A balance ring forms an upper periphery of the first basket assembly and is operably coupled to the first basket. A second basket is selectively receivable within at least a portion of the first treating chamber. The second basket defines a second treating chamber for receiving laundry for treatment in a second wash environment.

A laundry treating system includes a laundry treating appliance having a first basket for receiving a first laundry load and a first clothes mover disposed in the first basket. The laundry treating system is user configurable between first, second, and third configurations. A kit for customizing a laundry treating appliance can include a second clothes mover and a second basket configured to removably couple with the laundry treating appliance.
