I saw these at Sears over the weekend. The tub seems even more huge in person. I can't believe they actually call it "Canyon Capacity". Apart from being cartoonish, it doesn't bring to mind a clean place to do laundry.
Oh well.

And look at the little kid looking into the washer! That just melts my heart. A new generation of washer enthusiasts. It's about time we get window lids.

I would hazzard a guess and say this is Whirlpool's doing...you can bet that Whirly will follow close behind with their own version(s)...Magic clean would know for sure.
Looks like the days of porcelain on steel washtubs is definitely numbered.

I wish they had a shot of one with the conventional agitator.
Pat, I agree they definitely need to put a picture of the agitator on their website.
Jason, the cheapest Oasis dryer doesn't have a window.

Well boys and girls, i just got back from my local sears and they had ALL THREE of the new Oasis machines! These are definitely F&P influenced, but more robust with more steel and not nearly as plasticky.
The SS washtubs feel pretty durable compared to what GE uses in their things. Of course i didn't get a chance to hang out long, but i was really more interested in the conventional agi machine.
The lowest priced one uses the familiar corckscrew top, but the base was pretty wide and had fins reminicent (sp?) of the old Maytag gyrators. I am wondering if these are like the F&P models with no tranny.
Anyhow, they are not kidding about the capacity, these things are HUGE inside. I would have asked more questions but i got that "look" when the sales guy knows you are not there to buy.
I asked the guy if the agitator model was going to replace the current "elite" line. His reply was that it would be in addition to the current line, so we shall see what happens over time i guess.
I actually like the looks of these new machines, but i wonder if they will have the longevity that WP has established over the years with the DD machines.

Jason,..i agree also about the little kid looking into the washer and dryer. Totally fascinated!!
Does anyone here think that these new oasis models look a little like Robert's 52 WP? I think it is the thick top that does it. LOL

We're in the second golden age
New ways to wash and different mechanisms, a departure from the stale corkscrew agitator in a plastic tub.
I definitely want a black set. The black color offsets the tinted window and gives good contrast to the white and steel interior.
But.... WHY DOES THE WINDOW HAVE TO BE TINTED?
Pizza, tunes, and the Oasis. Friday nights will return soon!

Wow!
That is such a very interesting looking pair!
I bet this one will do well.
To be able to see your top loader do the job, yea, this will be a winner.

When the Kenmore He3t was introduced, I believe it was introduced in May of 2001 and the Whirlpool counterpart Duet followed in November 2001. So if the same case is true with the Oasis, we can probably expect Whirlpool's own version to hit the retailers in about August. I like this machine. Is this an American made machine like the Calypso or an import like the Duet and HE lineup (which are German made). I'll also bet this will replace the Calypso. I wonder if a KitchenAid version of the Oasis will follow suit. What a sweet spin that one will be.
