Hello, I am considering purchasing this washer... I have seen the videos without the agitator, would anyone happen to have any videos recording the wash action with the agitator? I am really interested in turnover. If anyone has any experience with these washers, even without the video, I would love to hear from you.

Thank you

This i would love to hear too, i have not heard much about the AGI models. CU rated them very well for cleaning if that is anything to go by. I like the fact that they are like the F&P washers, but with a much sturdier cabinet.

Someone out there has to have a video... I am confident. I continue to look forward to replies.

WARNING - DO NOT BUY WHIRLPOOL CABRIO

I have NEVER been so disappointed in a washer/dryer in my life as I am with the Cabrio set I just purchased. There isn't a real agitation motion to the washer. All of the clothes end up all rung together in a long tightly twisted rope. What a mess! The wrinkles won't even come out in the dryer!!!! I have to pick and pull apart the rope of clothes, vigrously shake each item, and use two dryer softener sheets. Still wrinkled beyond belief! Really disgruntled.

What a shame.

Do you have the agitator Cabrio or the model that uses the disc at the bottom of the tub?

Most problems are caused by user error

The Oasis (w/o agitator) is by far the best machine I have ever used. It's water efficient, cycles to suit every item of clothing, and it gets all of my dingy white socks clean. Problems like tangling/wrinkling/roping, are usually caused by user error, ie. incorrect cycle, clothes simply dumped in (I too am guilty of this), incorrect temperature, etc. I use the max 1050RPM spin most of the time, and I usually line dry things if I can. As long as there is LFS added, then none of my clothes come out wrinkled, just clean. Sure, sheets sometimes come out roped even with Sheets/Towels selected, but no machine is perfect. There is a learning curve with this kind of machine, and it takes a while getting used to all of the new technology.
