I found this picture on Whirlpool Digital Library. The design looks similar to Fisher & Paykel new line..

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
For the WTW8500DC is linked below. Couldn't find the dryer, WED8500DC, yet. Both TL and FL are getting a new drum design with some sort of dimples.

That panel... I don't know what to say. First, the UI is more than fool proof. But it also means less clear control. Than again, it offers a deep wash. And a heater. Yet no Sanitary cycle. I am quite confused right now... | ||

what about the agitator models?
What about the models with agitators and its strange but the wash basket kinds of reminds me of the older 1970 models that had wash baskets like this?

It does remind me of the old Whirlpool/Kenmore belt drive baskets. I always wondered as a kid why the holes didn't go all the way up to the top. The control panel looks very similar to the Fisher Paykel, with the low profile panel height, but it looks like the controls themselves aren't has stream-lined as the manual seems to imply. Instead of having Hot-Warm-Cold, there are just dots; does that mean Tap Cold-Controlled Cold-Warm-*Controlled* Hot? Or Cold-Less Warm-Barely More Warm-Somewhat Warm-Kinda Hot?
I am glad to hear that the wash arms and filters are being redesigned in the dishwashers. I was hoping that this manual filter nonsense would eventually go the way of the dancing bear. If Maytag's new models use the same base design as the WP, but instead has a real motor, disposal blade, and a self-cleaning accumulator filter, in addition to all three arms running simultaneously, there's no reason the WP/KA/KM counterparts can't do it as well. And why they ever went away from the trademark Thunderbolt wash arm design, I have no clue. Maybe the same consumers that gave Whirlpool hell about taking the HydroSweep arm away from the KitchenAid also gave them hell about redesigning the WP's. | ||

I always try to get excited and give upcoming changes a chance, but 9 out of 10 times I just end up wishing we'd go back to earlier designs that actually worked well and were built well too.
I've been hoping for a redesign on the Cabrio wash plate. I don't like wash plate/impeller washers of any form, but I know there are designs that work better than what they're using now. As far as the dishwashers, the wash arm looks like a knockoff of the GE four way arm. If it reverses direction it will most definitely be a borrowed idea, which I never thought Whirlpool would ever need to do. Those spray holes look barely big enough for air to flow through, much less water. | ||

At least the manual alerts the user that temps have been dumbed-down. This is the reason my Frigidaire Immersion Care top-loader was voted off the island.
"TEMPERATURE Temperature Control senses and maintains uniform water temperatures by regulating incoming hot and cold water. Select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric and soils being washed. For best results and following the garment label instructions, use the warmest wash water safe for your fabric. • Warm and hot water may be cooler than what your previous washer provided." | ||

"Warm and Hot may be cooler than your previous washer provided."
Lets fix that to:
"Warm and Hot are inappropriate descriptors for the water entering the washer with these selections. It's all cold - so plan your laundering accordingly." | ||

Once I used an halogen space heater to make creme brûlee... My torch was out of gas. It worked so-so but, it was better than nothing. | ||
