...But if you still don't want it, I can take a good care of it LOL I love these whirlpool compacts. Here in Brazil we had only the Brastemp Minimatica in 1979 (I have one) and the Brastemp Baby World Washer, which is almost 50% smaller than the american World washer. Unfortunately they don't have the front panel, which is charming. I'll try to find and post some pictures of the Brazilian World Washer and Baby World Washer |

supremewhirlpol: Didn't you mention that you have a Surgilator agitator for a belt-drive portable? If so, I will gladly take it off your hands as a spare. Let me know. NorfolkSouthern |

The agitator is for a Direct Drive portable Whirlpool. I also have the plastic outer tub and speckled inner tub. Sorry for the confusion. I wish I had a Belt drive portable. I will post pictures of them. |

I'm not used to the Kenmore top loaders... do you have a pic of it? If it's a machine which has a " glass smile" on the lid, it's a Consul, the "cheap" version of Whirlpool in Brazil. By the way, brastemp sucks! Its expensive and not reliable. while Consul is much cheaper (sometimes up to 60%) and the products are much better. |

Here's a link to the Kenmore Brazil portable. Ignore the picture of the inside of it as that is a picture of a different model. It's on sale right now. CLICK HERE TO GO TO davek's LINK |

Vivalalavatrice: if Chrysler has to semi-merge with Fiat as is apparently required, I think we might see the new 500 here. It sure is cute. |

By the picture is a little difficult to realize how small is this model. Two versions, white and Almond. There was a third option, dark grey, which is my favorite. |

This machine was launched a few months ago and still on the market. Inside, again the world washer, without any differences, except for the "multiprocessor agitator" Outside, the wierd design. the lid looks like a toilet seat. A can of soda can be much more resistant than it's cabinet. |

By the way, this new 11kg Brastemp Ative has exactly the same tub as the 5kg Brastemp Mondial. The machine that has the capacity rating most close to the real capacity is only the Electrolux 15.2Kg Acquajet, recently launched. It's real capacity is up to 14.8kg (400g mistake) |

Whirlpool Cabrio, if launched in Brazil would be a 21kg capacity washer... that's more than ridiculous, but there's nothing we can do. My recommendations to everyone is use the brain and ignore the capacity rating when loading the machine. If there's no rollover, you can hear the motor being forced or the agitator bending, MAYBE, the machine is overloaded LOL. |

21kg?! I believe that I agree with you about their standard being bad. Good luck cramming 21kg of stuff in the tub. |

"By the way, this new 11kg Brastemp Ative has exactly the same tub as the 5kg Brastemp Mondial." Thomas, you get a mistake again. Brastemp clean was a 22" cabinet - Cabrio have 24" whit tall tub inside and different agitator! |

Here's a picture of the Consul-built Kenmore portable sold today. It probably holds more than my Kenmore does, and it's both taller and weighs less. |

Glad you got a good deal. $637 is too much, but >500 puts it within spitting distance of the Haier Target sells for $300 by the time you figure about $100 for shipping. |

You know. In May 1991 I was 19 and moved into an apartment that did not have a washer dryer. My grandma ordered a kenmore portable washer that rolled up and hooked to the sink for me. I sold it about three years later in the paper. It looked just like that one and it was the same year. I was living in NC at the time.

An extra Surgilator for my belt-drive portable would certainly be nice, yes. I may never need it, but you never know! NorfolkSouthern |
