I was just in Home Depot and peered in the glass window of new Maytag top loader--huge tub, with only the tiniest thing you might call an agitator at the bottom. How does this machine work? | ||

Ahhhh, The Maytag Bravos...
It works similar to the F&P washer but its a Whirlpool Cabrio with the name changed to protect the innocent... It will alternately fill and spin the tub to a point then just fill. Washing is done by running and reversing the disc at the bottom while the tub moves around. One of these days, I'm going to have to video one doing it's thing thru the glass lid. The first washer of that style without a proper agitator I can remember was actually a Sanyo washer from way back when. Whirlpool has alot of time and money invested in this design as the current direct drive washer design will go away in 2010 due to the govt. energy standards. The Cabrio/Bravos will be their bread and butter after that. RCD | ||

... technically tumbling is the best technology. Cabrio/Bravos, Calypso (collapse), and all those HE toys are bullshit. Cabrio spends more o the same water as a front loader.. So... where´s the different stuff whirlpool promissed some years ago? a giant blender? | ||

I think I watched the same bra sit on the top for five minutes. | ||

Also, Even with overloaded loads I have found that it sorts them out and gets decent turnover or as F&P call it "blooming" | ||

The Cabrio/Bravos will be their bread and butter after that. More like hardtack & lard | ||

I think that the Cabrio has very good turn over. Mine does. Here is a video that I took a while back: CLICK HERE TO GO TO bobbyd32l's LINK | ||

I like my Calypso. I washed a pillow several days ago that's labeled "spot clean only" (cotton and polyester construction). It turned out very well. If I was restricted to only one toploader, I'd choose the Calypso (at this point in time of not yet having used my Neptune TL). As much as I like my F&P IWL12, Calypso is more versatile in handling large/bulky items.
