Trip to Home Depot and Lowes..Have questions:

[bobbyd32l]

I own the Cabrio, and absolutely love it. I think that the glass lid is a nice touch, and most of the machines parts are Fisher&Paykel.

<blockquote>There's the Intuitive dryer!!!!!</blockquote>
And it's not in my utility room, damnit! But the console color still wouldn't be a perfect match to my IWL12, so I suppose that's for the best.

 

[exploder321]

Nope.. I have a trick for that...

I go ask if i can take pictures because i am remodling and want a visual of what they look like..

Or i just play dumb, have a fake conversation on the cell phone and click away...

In this case, no one was around either place and no one said a word...

I'm still considering the Chinese GE's, but there is precious little written about them, critical-review wise...

I like the Epic but that control panel is too dizzy, has too much going on up there....

Isn't it all dizzying and wonderful?

 

[exploder321]

Yea it is a bit dizzying....

Thats why i like my frigie... its very easy to understand and has tons of flexablitity

the cabrio...
well i see the commercial every night for the cabrio, anyways i saw some video on the cabrio can someone explain how clothes come out clean if theres only half the amount of water i mean maybe i like the "traditional" fill up with water.I dont get how anything would come out clean with half the water? im thinking it would come out with residue maybe im wrong and shouldn't judge by the look of it but i saw a review on eopinions on the cabrio and 2 people said it "leaves the clothes with residue even when using he soaps" so i mean anyone own one (im sure someone does lol) explain it to me please. i mean you would think i would understand new tech stuff becuase im young but still maybe im locked mentally in another time frame lol! give me a whirlpool like my grandma that fills up with water how you want it to and the agitator goes around and im good. maybe im just a basic person. anyone can relate out there?

The GE's have been out on the market for almost a year and you are right, not much has been said about them. I have seen a few posts about long wash times on that "other" washer website. But that's about all. Is the jury still out on these machines?

I went to Sears Home today and played with the blue LG Steam Washer a bit. It was plugged in, and our salesman didn't mind me at all trying out the spin cycle. I guess if you bought something there before they don't really mind what you do!

crap, crap and more crap

yeah, don't let those fancy high end Frigidaire dishwashers fool you. they're still trash, crap, garbage, etc.

I have a very good video of the Cabrio working, that is currently uploading to google video... it will be posted in the morning when its finished up loading... its a very large file (340mb 4 minutes long) and its taking longer then I expected.

The Cabrio/Oasis uses "reverse rollover" to get the clothes clean. You will understand when you see the video. And I can attest to how clean the clothes come out when the machine is finished. No residue left on my clothes, just clean and fresh smelling!

Real nice way to spend a day looking at these beautiful master pieces. I always feel so good after spending time checking out appliances.

front loading washers

the GE washers may be made in China but GE owns the factory.These machines also have the Good Housekeeping seal.For the money,they work fine.GE has also renewed their connections with Electrolux and now Home Depot has a Smaller capacity front loading washer and matching dryer made by them.The WSSX26fww washer and matching dryer dsxh43efww/dsxh43gfww.They are exactly like the Frigidaire Gallery set with the square doors.The washer has a 3.5 cu ft. capacity and the dryer has a 5.8 cu ft. capacity.The dryer's tub is white enamal and the washer is stainless steel.There are pedistals with drawers available too.The washer price is $599 and the dryer is $499/electric and $549/gas.The peds go for $199/ea.Thy're also stackable and the kit is optional($29.95)if you desire to stack them.

Does the Cabrio have an Internal Water Heater

After having one for 4 years now I don't think I'd ever own a washer without it. It makes such a huge difference in the results and you don't have to use any bleach. Your clothes really do last a lot longer. My T-Shirts for example last a lot longer and are always perfectly white. I would have had to use Chlorine bleach to get close to this white before and even with the bleach they never looked this good.

 

[jonv112]

No, the Cabrio/Oasis models lack an internal water heater.

HTH

 

[cuffs054]

chachp speaks the truth! Now that I have a washer with an internal heater I will never go without.

 

[oxydolfan1]

Thank you, laundromat.

You may have just found me my next new washing machine!!

 

[exploder321]

I am curious as to how they work compared to the Frigidaire i currently own
