Now at Lowe's

[foraloysius]

No guess needed, sizes are on Lowes.com. The width is 28 inches.

Does Wp offer the wash plate model along with the agitator models? Or is it only the agi models that are out? Little confused here.

 

[appnut]

WP will have 1 wash plate model and sears will have 2!! It's marketing!!!

 

[mrtide]

Does a washplate automatically mean

Or does WP incorporate some of the "HE" features of the previous machines like the calypso, except uses an agitator on one model as the medium for laundry movement and calls it an "HE". This will be interesting to see this machine wash. Hey, it could be the washer we've all been wanting! The stainless steel tub sure is nice.

Cabrio

I was just at Lowe's in suburban St. Louis (Maplewood); they don't have it here, but the salesman said that it was actually a F & P machine w/the Whirlpool name on it.

PORCELAIN ???

"Cabrio's" have porcelain tops ??? really ?? if so, that is awesome.

 

[mrb627]

Kitchenaid too.

The Kitchenaid branded top loaders all had porcelain tops as well. I imagine most of the porcelain tops will outlast the machines themselves.

Cabritator

If the agitator is mounted the same as the typicall DD agitator, can't you install a single action agit in it's place? I bet that would make an interesting washer.

 

[westytoploader]

If it had the same agitator shaft/mount as a traditional WP, that would be fun! I'd have to try a DD Surgilator in it and see what happens. That's probably not the case, however...Greg and I were talking about the Cabrio a few days ago and he thought that it would have the same agitator shaft as the Fisher & Paykel, especially since it uses the same type of motor. At least the F&P agitator would still be interchangeable...

 

[DADoES]

Won't work. F&P motors have a stubby drive shaft, like a Maytag. An F&P agitator might fit if the base is the right circumference to fit the basket.

 

[knitwits1975]

Kind of looks like a cross between a direct drive Whirlpool and a Fisher & Paykel. I wonder if this machine is a joint effort. I'm guessing it is probably devoid of the usual Whirlpool mechanism.

 

[knitwits1975]

Should any forum member acquire one of these, May I request videos?

 

[frigilux]

Huh. This machine has a very normal-looking Dual-Action agitator. The Oasis I saw had a VERY different looking agitator. Has anyone else seen the one I'm talking about?
