Great video Jason, that Oasis looks like a fun machine! Does it fill the entire tub with water on the Sheets/Towels cycle? |

Ooooh wow! I do love! I'm beginning to think you have a better laundry/computer set up than me now!!! I love that "rock and roll" action of the Oasis. Goes right with the music! Jon |

Jason, It is great to see you in your new house and able to live out your dream. You are a bit like a son and it is rewarding to see you achieve those dreams. Kelly |

The action is more vigourous than in the commercial and on the sheets/towel cycle it rolls over alot better. It washes like a dream. Got dirty laundry, the Oasis will scrub it out! |

and the Oasis is huge. It washes and sounds a little like one of the Haier's bpeterxx has, the tripple waterfall one. Speaking of which, have you seen the new cabria(sp) commercial with the beautiful woman, the huge waterfall, and the flying Belugia whales? It's so over the top, just like your machine. Western Union is one of my all time favorite songs, but one of my best friends absolutely hates it. There are many things wrong with him. It goes great with the Oasis. Could we next see the spinning and such? Surprized you haven't bypassed the lidswitch yet! I can't get over how beautiful your new home is. Mikey |

Jason, how many people in this country have a PC & audio set-up in their laundry room. It is sooo cool!!!! As always, everyone of your videos sends chills up & down my spine as I watch them. You're talen still amazes me. The washing still got me a bit nausious. Evry video I've seen with towls & sheets doesn't have it loaded properly. Doesn't the manual say for this type of load things are not to go completely over the top of the "wash plate" when loading it? And BTW, why have the naughty apparel get in the way, just sidestep it lol. (he he he) |

w00h00!! Excellent video! Nice appliances! Is that Dishwasher the Kenmore 16032? or the 13852 with the stainless interior? Both excellent machines! Do you think you could get a video of drain and full speed spin? |

Thanks for the video, Jason! Your new place looks great and it's fun to see the Oasis in action. The rollover was better in your video than in other Oasis vids I've seen, apparantly due to the higher water level of the sheets/towels cycle. I have new washer fever and I'm torn between the FL Whirlpool Duet and the Whirlpool version of the Oasis (Cabrio, I think). I'm going to wait a bit to see what your review of the Oasis is after a couple of months with it. I have access to Maytag, Frigidaire, GE, Whirlpool and KitchenAid in my little burg. My bang-for-the-buck meter is steering me toward Whirlpool. |

Brett, are you a tech? If so, do you know how to bypass the lid switch or run it with the lid open? |

That's the other idea, remove the glass but that could be dangerous if it breaks. I tried with a magnet and it didn't work. Did they say on the front of the machine where he lock is or in the lid itself? |

I read somewhere in the tech sheet that you can run the washer in diagnostic mode with the lid open, but I didn't try it for myself. |

The window on the lid is tinted so you get alot of reflections and it's hard to video. And we know how fun it is to watch a washer with the lid up. |

Jason, wonderful video and congrats on your new home, it looks just georgous! How strong of a magnet did you use? For the Harmony a fridge magnet does not work, I went to radio shack and bought a much stronger magnet. You might want to run a strong magnet along the edge of the lid to see where it sticks to find the metal strip. |

The machine will sense the overload and stop the cycle, requiring you to remove some of the items in the tub. BTW, what exactly is a Bob Load? I can't find it anywhere on this forum. |

I set the machine to do a rinse/drain and spin and went to bed. Woke up this morning to a LF error (long fill). Oy, I hate these modern machines that are too smart for their (and our) own good. If I set the machine for rinse, I expect to rinse without talking back. Give me '47 or a '57 any day. Jason I noticed you have two washer hookups in your laundry studio, so what's getting hooked up in position number 2? Inquiring minds want to know. Jason I watched the video again, the reverse turnover seems very good in the Oasis, better than in the Harmony. I love all of these videos!!! Keep it up boys. |

Well, true to today's attitude, the machines now talk back and holler when it can't do it right. 2nd washer hookup... I'm sure you know what that special place is reserved for. Hint: It has the number 800 written on it. |

I imagine 4 sets of queen sheets, pillow cases and a twin set qualifies. Hell throw the bedspread and hope it doesn't go off balance |

Use sheets/towels for best reverse rollover. |

Bad news. They cycle completed without a hitch, but THERE WAS NO ROLLOVER! So dissapointing. I'll upload the videos soon. I tried to dry the entire load all at once, but I don't think it would work, so I split it. |

Jon-- That was one HELL of a huge load, and made up of mostly large items, so I wouldn't feel too bad about the lack of rollover. I think any TL'er would have struggled with all those sheets. Jason-- What does the Oasis do if the load becomes unbalanced? Does it have a scare-the-hell-outta-you buzzer like the Kenmores of yore? Does the machine stop or does it continue through the cycle without spinning? |

The outer tub bangs against the body and the washer immediately stops. It only happened for a queen size bedspread that got off balance. Everything else balances nicely. It does vibrate a little in high speed spin but that's about expected. |

I would imagine that with a tub that wide, there isn't a whole lot of clearance between it and the cabinet. I stopped at a Sears this weekend and checked one out. They are so cool. Also looked at the agitator version, but the version you have would seem to be more fun---and different. You mentioned vibration. Is your machine on a concrete floor? In my warehouse apt., the washer was on regular flooring, so the washers (every one of them---the KitchenAid TL, the various WCI/Electrolux FL'ers, the Frigidaire 1-18 and the '59 Lady Kenmore) would vibrate and shake a bit during the spin cycle. In my house, the washer is on concrete, so there isn't so much as a shimmer of vibration during spin. I'm still debating between the TOL Duet FL'er and a Cabrio (I'd have to go w/ Whirlpool, as the nearest Sears is about 70 miles away). I'm very dedicated to the FL format, but the Oasis/Cabrio would be so much fun... Decisions, decisions. |

Now that we have seen what the disc version is like washing..it would be nice to see how the agitator model works..but with those rubber base fins..leaves me a little cautious. |

The agitator machine is "supposed" to work identically to the disk machine, but with the Triple action agitator... I have yet to see one work... They wont let us hook up the machines at work... hmmm I wonder why? LOL |

I dry everything in the dryer and the clothes come out perfect. No wrinkling at all. I would guess that if you want to line dry, you can select medium spin speed (around 600rpm) and you might have better luck. It's so humid over here that line drying is useless. |
