The Cabrio has a new Friend!

[bobbyd32l]

Our older GE dryer kinda kicked the bucket, so it was time that the Cabrio got a friend!

The Drum is SO much bigger then the GE and the Drum light is great. A full load of towels was completely dry in 35 minutes!

A beautiful set, no doubt. And just think---only 19 more years and they'll be a cool vintage pair!

I'll be making more videos soon. Probably going to make a video of a queen comforter, sheets, pillow cases, and some other items... Thursday

COOL!

Is the dryer a 27" wide (675mm)or a 29" wide (725mm) model?
Although it has the 29" dry system and bulhead, the cabinet looks sleeker than that size to me.

Why would you say it is so fast? What is the washer's spin speed?

The windowed door is a nice touch, but I fear that drum will be blue-green sooner or later!

TYVM.

Thanks Guys!

The washer spins at 1050 rpms, the dryer is the 29" model. I think that it dries so fast because it has the 2 motors, and higher temps (when on Heavy Duty).

Yeah, the tub may eventually turn blue, but the GE's tub wasn't to bad after 10ish years.

Is the two motor deal the *Senseon* system?

Dryer

Although the dryer looks sleek and works well (and why shouldn't it?), is it really Whirlpool's trusty old dryer under the skin? The top-mounted lint filter seems to indicate its origins. If it is a sleek new body on a proven old design, I'm all for it.

Enjoy,
Dave

I thought the Cabrio was a single 35% larger motor, not a dual-motor system.

Very nice pair you have there!

According to my Whirlpool Rep, the Cabrio is the Dual motor system. I made a new video of the Cabrio washing a Queen Comforter, sheet, matress cover, and pillow cases... Uploading to Google video now! its about 2 minutes and shows the start of the wash on Bulky Bedding. Camera died, and couldn't find batteries so this will have to do for now

The Whirlpool Cabrio dryer does not have the dual motor system. It is an upgraded version of the traditional dryer using the loop airflow system. The lint filter is accessed from the top and the blower wheel is directly coupled to the main motor. Vents from the rear.

The Kenmore Oasis dryer has the rear to front (axial) airflow. Lint filter up front just inside the door opening. The belt-driven blower system is called Turbo-dry. The TOL machines have a variable speed motor operating the blower. This arrangement is called Dual action dry. They offer rear, side and floor venting options.

Both machines share a new cabinet structure, dual drum bulkheads(front-rear) and 4 point drum roller suspension system.
