Copied from THS: Saw the new Oasis this weekend, and WOW. Definitely not a reworked Calypso nor Harmony. This is a brand new design of HE TL machine, and with the Kenmore name behind it, I suspect it's going to make a big impact on the industry. Like most Kenmore laundry products, I could tell from the model number that it is sourced from Whirlpool and made in the USA. |

Its gorgeous!!! I wonder how it washes? If it fills up to the top with water it cant be HE. Maybe it Kelvinates around the washtub. |

Wow..really love the design on this washer. The bulky tops on the w/d remind me of the early KM/WP washers of the 50's. Too cool! |

this afternoon, and the poor saleslady hadn't heard of the Oasis. I did see the HE4t in "Sedona," and oh, I loved it. Lawrence/Maytagbear |

I think it's a GE Harmony in a Kenmore skin. I have a Frigidare FL which is just like the GE Fl which is just like the KM Fl with the 2.7/2.9 cu in tub same machine different skin. I do like the windows on it but I want to see it wash first. I bet they are not distributing it yet across the nation. Where was the Sears that had the set in the pics? Joe jamman_98 |

What is with the holes in the "invisible agitator", better know as an impeller? If they are not drain holes, I wonder if this is a recirculation water feed to wet-down the load. All kididng aside, this would make great "lubrication" around the clothing to makes sure the (assumed) miserly amount of water helps keep the "Asian fan" HA HA impeller from again making this machine worthy of being called a modern shred-more. |

Well if one removes the agiator a TL can have near or more capacity as a front loader. How well it will perform is another matter. If either Sears or Whirlpool claim to have "invented" this design will be the first to send them pictures of the small GE portable. Would love to see GE climb all over Whirlpool on that one.
