A washer appliance with removable agitator post including a shaft positioned within the agitator post. A plunger may be attached to the shaft near the bottom end of the agitator post and is movable between an up position and a down position along the vertical axis. A plurality of bearings may be positioned between the plunger and the agitator post and configured for selective contact with the receptacle by movement through the openings at the bottom end of the agitator post so as to secure the agitator post in the receptacle when the plunger is in the up position and release the agitator post from the receptacle when the plunger is in the down position.

A washing appliance with an agitator post configured for removable positioning in a receptacle. An actuator is used to selectively control the position of a shaft to as to provide for releasably locking the agitator post into position. A detent is positioned at the receptacle and can be configured for removable receipt of the downward end of the shaft when the bottom end of the agitator post is positioned in the receptacle.

A washing machine with an auxiliary washing unit includes a main body having a first opening and a first main washing space communicated with the first opening, a first auxiliary washing unit and a first cover, wherein the first auxiliary washing unit is juxtaposedly arranged with the first cover to jointly and portionly cover the first opening, and the first opening is capable of being portionly opened by opening the first cover for putting laundries into or taking laundries out of the first main washing space.
