It's the Maytag Bravos, with an "S" at the end. By the way jonv112, I saw your channel on Youtube. Could you post more videos. And by the way, I also own a Kenmore Elite Oasis. | ||

More tidbits of information. The machine is advertised as being able to hold 23 full-size bath towels in one load. The machine's balance system makes for quiet operation and if a load goes unbalanced it will automatically correct it. | ||

And finally, here is the Pacific Blue one! I hope it strikes the same visual appeal to you as it does to me!

Here is the Whirlpool Cabrio. Note the striking similarity to the Oasis. It also provides all the same features!

Here is the Maytag Bravos. It too looks similar to the Cabrioasis and provides the same features. It is shown here in white.

Um, I am all for new technology that is energy efficient. Don't these machines have like a really bad reputation for cleaning ability? I mean I have seen them people giving them away, when they aren't much more than a year or 2 old. ? | ||

OK, so it holds 23 bath towels in one load.... Which can't move around because there's 47% less water and a very small impeller at the bottom. It would be a very cool concept if the energy saving garbage wasn't there to kill it. Any cycles that actually fill to the top with water? | ||

I doubt Whirlpool has any nefarious purposes behind the Oasis/Cabrio/Bravos design. There's a sizable segment of the market that is die-hard for toploaders .. and like it or not, TL design must change to confirm with the enforced energy restrictions. I'd also *imagine* that design testing does bring forth many of the problems that can and do occur. Design refinements are likely done to the degree that they can be, attempts to head-off trouble via instructions in the user guides (I.E. do not wrap sheet around the wash plate .... use only HE detergent ... etc.). Some effects perhaps cannot be completely eliminated, but hopefully minimized ... or even accepted by the consumer-at-large as a trade-off for the "new-age" toploaders vs. those of old which at some point may no longer be available AT ALL. F&P's AquaSmart is already on the floor at some stores. I've seen them at a Lowe's nearby. | ||
