Watch the Oasis with the reverse roll-over

I dunno. I actually got nauseated watching. Sounds just like an F&P, not that impressed with "rollover".

I wasn't impressed at all. Lame.

looks like it might tangle. also looks like a lot of friction going on. i am intrigued by the wash action, would like to see a video of machine *lightly* loaded.
I haven't watched this video yet, but I believe a post on THS says the load was run on a cycle designated for bulky items to minimize tangling.
I didn't see much rollover either-but interesting.

AU Machines have agitated like that for 20 years
yes ours have a Centre post ALA F&P and the rollover still isnt spectacular, even full of water.
However these machines do a great job washing, now have a highish spin speed of 850rpm and last up to 10 years.
While it might look boring compared to a US machine with a traditional gearbox, they are very good at what they do.
Disclaimer (I'm not saying the Oasis is good, however dont knock the technology, just because the rollover appears slow.)

OK, I watched the full 2 min 57 sec clip three times. There IS rollover. Reverse rollover. The clothes turn up from the center of the pulsator and over to the outside. Looks effective to me. Hard to tell how much water is really there, but it's apparently enough to do the job where the fabric meets the disc. Everything looks to be thoroughly soaked, and there was a shower spray that activated for a short time, which I'm figuring repeats throughout the wash period. Either that or it was adding a bit more water like my F&P sometimes does to top-off the water level after the clothes get mixed up and trapped air bubbles release. The load description says it's a mix of towels, TWO sets of queen sheets and one set of twin sheets, PLUS a blanket. The camera pulls back a bit when the water spray starts, and the load is just a few inches below the rim of that super-size tub.

Looks like a slow, painful birth to me.

AAAAAAAAAAH! Look at all that harmful rubbing! Talk about a Shredmore...I prefer Frigidaire's rub-free washing action, thank you very much!
That has an eerie sound to it; reminds me of both the Fisher & Paykel and the GE Harmony. Very strange when you're used to the steady motor noise of an agitator machine, or even the "electronic-sounding" motor of the F&P.

The Man at Sears told me something interesting........
The Man at Sears said that they "leased" the motor to Whirlpool for this machine. The sales person could have made it up for all I know, but it does sound very F and P to me as well. F & P does make dish dwars dishwasher re-badged for Kitchenaid. It is just a thought.

Well then
Looks like most of yall hate it. Well, ok. I'm still getting mine even though it's now considered NAUSEATING and LAME as a few of you said. I root for the underdog.
I thought it was pretty cool and I saw the rollover, slow but it did work. Did y'all look at the spin cycle? Notice the impeller pulsing back and forth? Methinks that's the disk trying to balance everything.

A Sears appliance associate I know told me they describe it as a "blossoming" rollover. Up and out from the center like a flower.
pretty cool, but i think i would go for the agitator model over this one.

Interesting, but I'll stick with the vigorous, but gentle tumble action for the time being. I have often wondered if a a Frigidaire Jet Cone type agitation system could be designed to be as effective as an Oasis with a small amount of water. When I had one, I experimented with low amounts of water and clothes seemed to still roll over.

The agitator model will probably sound and look more like an f&p washer.
I think it's still cooler than cool for a new HE washer. It does look kinda weird with that reverse rollover.
Maybe I coulda got a SQ pair but being the Kenmore fan that I am; I don't want a typical DD Shredmore or a FL so I got the Oasis. I actually like the rhythmic sounds it makes. Very relaxing.

I viewed most of the videos, some of them even a few times. It looks like the clothes aren't totally covered with water, which means that the clothes at the bottom are being pressed on the disk. But that disk turns quite vigorous which means that the clothes at the bottom get quite a beating. I don't think I like this machine. As a matter of fact I don't think I'll ever like any V-axis toploader with a water level that doesn't cover the clothes.
