How much would it cost to ship this to East Coast? MA?
I had one of these for 10 years and really miss it. I'd probably replace my frontloader with this? How much you asking for it?

That looks like the same one a friend of my Moms has, but the tub isn't the same.

Fabric softener dispenser

The washer is defiantly awesome and the fabric softener dispenser is still available through Repair Clinic.

Fabric Softener:

Oy. I had one of those on a Whirly and while I appreciated the convenience, I did not appreciate the lack of means with which to clean it. It snaps on in place of your original agitator cap and then won't come off easily. In addition, the design is such that you can't get into the softener chamber readily for cleaning. Big contrast to the idiot-simple Maytag design that lifts out for cleaning.

I'm not sure about other Whirlpool models, but this one has the dispenser that simply sits on top of the agitator cap. It has a note on it to "Rinse after every use". I've done just that and never had a problem with gunge or slime.

Not sure if any of you remember this vid that Jason posted awhile ago of a Whirlpool with wings.

Bruce that's so cool and amazing

I ask Jason to find an SS video, and YOU find JASON'S flick. Wonderful ! The turnover sure is impressive.

Whirly, welcome to the club, and thanks for the video. You'll fit right in here, marvelously. You do what they call a Bobload-- a really full tub of clothes or dishes, named in honor of our famous member Bob who invented seeing how much you could max out a load and still achieve effective cleaning.

Understand, now why you all love the winged beauty.
