Neither I suspect That looks like the new direct drive unit. It’s like a cabrio washer minus the floating tub. I believe the actuator assy is magnetic? | ||

Can I differ? It has a gear case, the old Cabrio DD did not. | ||

This is the VMAX platform, which uses a BPM rotor/stator but it's coupled to a gear box that essentially serves as a torque converter, providing a ~2:1 ratio between the agitator/washplate and the motor. It is still able to adjust stroke length and power on the fly and can still sense load and resistance like the Oasis-platform could, without putting so much direct stress on the BPM motor. If you didn't know it had a gearbox and stood next to one running, you'd swear it was direct drive because they are much quieter than the Oasis-Cabrio machines.
