I guess I have been under my rock for too long....(LOL) I do not have any experience with any of the high efficiency top load washers… I'm pretty sure someone out there in washerland has at least one. How well do they work compared to other H.E. machines (TLer or FLer), and does anyone have any video of their machines in operation?? I'd love to be able to see them going through all the motions! On another note, I've noticed in other posts mention was made of normal TL direct drive machines.... does that mean no transmission, or only no belts?? And how long have they been making them?? Thanks to all in advance!! |

Is this washer gentler than a frontloader? Does the "agi" model have as good rollover? Is the cabrio cousin just as good as this one? Thanks :p |

First, Jonathan thank you for posting the link!! That reverse-rollover was interesting and very surprising to see! OK, questions.... 1. I noticed some of the water fills the tub slowly rotated and some did not. Why? 2. Can you control the water level or is it completely automatic based on the load the machine "senses"? 3. I think I read in some other thread, Whirlpool (Kenmore, etc) approached/worked with Fisher & Paykel so they could get their own H.E top load washer to market much more quickly (as opposed to designing one of their own), true? 4. In watching your videos, the Oasis seems VERY similier in operation to the Fisher & Paykel machine. Is it possible the the Oasis/Cabrio twins are just reskinned Fisher & Paykel machines with a different (more flat) agitator?? Thanks again!!! Does anyone have anything (info/video) on the GE Harmony?? |

I am anxious to see and hear the agi-model of the Oasis/Cabrio. I haven't heard a peep from anyone who has one, nor have I read any reviews. Kelly |

Really? But the Cabrio has the Wool cycle, which is not present on the current Oasis right? I recall the very first revision had the Wool/Delicate cycle, but it was later changed to Sheets/Towels. |

I have asked about the agi model too. I would like to hear how these models perform. I especially like them now that the agi version has a glass lid. |
