Does anyone have pics of this machine? WP only shows the outside and I'm curious as to what the tub and agitator look like on the 27" model. I know they are still DD machines but they have a new "HE" agitator. I want to remodel my laundry closet and one idea is to get a stackable unit so I can free up some space for storage.
Also something odd to me is that for the washer cycles, some are able to be set to different minutes...obviously to increase wash time...however this machine also has a separate soil level knob....what's up with that? Seems redundant or am I missing something? Any input would be great appreciated! |

Is actually the water level control, WP is doing the same thing on the 24" version as well. It does not seem to make sense, but maybe it is getting them around energy conservation requirements because if it is used on normal or light soil it uses much less water, they might have gotten the DOE to consider the light, med and heavy soil settings different cycles and for DOE requirements a washer is tested on all its different cycles and they are averaged together to form the energy guide number.
These are good machines overall and they are the last almost full fill rugged WP built TL washers, we sell a lot of them, however the best full sized stack-able IMEO is still the FL SQ stack.
The WP 27" should set you back about $1500 and the SQ should be about $2500, but you will easily save the $1000 in operating costs. The full sized WP should last 15-25 years and the SQ 25-45 years. |

I figured you'd know about these guys. So as far as the agitator goes, is it the same as the other new WP "HE" agitator-post things or is it different? (in the pic I posted below). In the user manual it shows the agitator as having 2 wings on the the side...I've never seen one like that.
That def makes more sense about the soil level indicator...and it also has a Deep Water wash option...I assume that uses even more water? As far as the size goes...I have a Large capacity GE Filter Flo, from what I understand it's about 2.0cu ft? This being 2.5 would be a bit bigger...I just want to make sure I"m not getting something smaller.

I found the parts diagram. It is weird looking! Now I'm really intrigued.

To get anything other than a stack front load set would be insane! |
