That sounds pretty spot on for that era of high efficiency top loader. I've tracked the water use for several loads with the Bravos-Oasis, and it seems to be around the 30-35 gallon range for full loads every time. A nearly full load of darks ended up being 14-15 gallons for the wash and rinse...

I dunno. I agree on one hand because I don't know how much more we can squeeze usage regulations down. From a mechanical and chemical aspect, machines and detergent engineering/formulation has come a LONG way, soil, water, and fabrics have not and most likely never will, until god forbid they...

I'm glad I popped in after a long spell away. This thread has me chuckling. These Maytag "commercials" seem like great machines for those wanting a traditional-ish top loader with a true dual-action agitator. People who have them love them, and Eugene (Lorain Furniture) has spoken highly of...

I’m currently rebuilding a Bravos XL (Oasis), coincidentally the exact MVWB880 model I owned that I sold to my aunt before the current Duet Alpha. I have one part coming Monday and it’ll be completely finished (fingers crossed), with a brand new bearing and seal pack, and even a new set of...

THANK YOU. I searched the Deluxe and Imperial threads with every key word I could think of but couldn’t find a thing. There are several threads I wish I could find again here that I know are not old enough to have fallen off, but no matter what I search I can’t seem to bring up. One example is a...

Fair point DADoES lol, I’ve found myself using basket, drum, tub, all interchangeably over the years, and with typing out a post quickly from my phone I didn’t think about how that might get confused.

I’m not sure now whether a post about a DD washer goes here or in Imperial, given that they spanned from 1986 to 2011, but I need help identifying a set of machines. A while back, a TikTok scrolled by my feeds of this girl loading her washer with an obscene amount of fragrance free Tide Pods and...

I’ve never known of any residential Whirlpool VMW machines that pulse spin. They all behave pretty much all just like the one in the video, where the first spin up after drain is the low speed spin, and then the final spin works the same way, but comes to a stop and does a second phase at full...

So fast forward to now, I've ditched the Costco pacs; gave the half tub to our neighbor because they could care less how the machine is working (they've replaced their dishwasher twice since we've lived here and they've all been the cheapest contractor-special WPs and GEs you can buy). I went...

So now for my weird dishwasher issue. Over the past couple of months, I've been trudging through a tub of Costco-Kirkland "Platinum Clean" pacs. Overall they've done fine; they clean very well and leave minimal residue. I think Cascade's Complete and Platinum still has the upper edge in overall...

@littlegreeny - Not as much as we would have thought, but we handled the majority of the work to rearrange the wiring and plumbing for the fridge, which wasn't too difficult at all. The only parts we left to be professionally done were the addition of the second 20A line for the upper oven, and...

And then finally, close-ups of the fridge, cooktop and oven/microwave

The befores, pre-April 2021

I know I said I was going to come back and post the rest of the kitchen, and I haven't forgotten. We've just had a surge of busy events one after another the last few weeks and I haven't had a chance to sit down lol. I've had a bit of a weird issue with the dishwasher that now seems to be...

Very nice! Whirlpool has a very solid platform in this new generation of dishwashers. About a year ago I parted out a Whirlpool 750 model that is similar in build to your machine. It was a beyond repair damage in shipping that I got for 90% off. The door was crushed in at the corner, but the...

Thanks, you guys :) I’ll get more photos of the rest of the appliances uploaded soon. It’s a bit of a workaround to get photos posted because the site uploader doesn’t know what to do with the new HEIF format photos on newer iOS devices, so I have to convert them with the computer to jpeg...
