Watch the Oasis with the reverse roll-over

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

I hope for the sake of WP/KM that these machines will not be trouble prone like the calypso's seem to have been.

I am glad that many people who have bought these oasis washers seem to like them very much. I think with those high tops and rounded corners these machines have, is very reminisent (sp) of the early 50's KM/WP machines.

I myself prefer the agitator model and like the idea of F&P technology in a Kenmore washer with a porcelain top and lid.

I just wish for what they are selling the agi model for that they would at least throw in a window also.
 
No need for a window. If it's true to F&P design, the lid switch is part of the magnet at the front of the machine where the lid lock is. The lid also has that same oval shaped magnet so I'm guessing that's all it takes. When I opened the lid, I didn't hear the familiar click of a mechanical switch anywhere so I'm guessing that's it.
 
The Oasis is Manufactured by Whirlpool. The water level is low, but just right. You are all correct about too much water. The clothes will float above the disk, but the disk creates so much movement there isnt a problem. If you have seen Roberts Harmony its works just like that when on bedding mode (fills to the top, and the reverse action is much faster). But other modes use the sensor which works by showering the clothes with COLD water. The water takes time to go through the clothes and when the water reaches the sensor it determines the change in tempreture from cold to more of a warmer temp from obsorbing the temp of the clothes, and amount of time it took for the sensor to get wet. This is how the microprossesor determines how much is in the tub and how much water to fill it with...

KitchenAid Draw dishwasher is the only KA dishwasher manufactured by F&P, others are Whirlpool.

I learned this from the Whirlpool Rep who comes to my store and gives the demo's and training on the new products.
 
The Oasis uses different numbers of gallons depending on the amount of clothes. IIRC the bedding cycle uses 39 gallons for each cycle. I will find out when I go to work tomorrow!
 
First Spin

Hi, how are you doing?

Can you make the video about the first spin with clothes & towels from wash to rinse?

Then the final spin....then finish.

Brettsomers, thanks for the vote of confidence but I have to say this one has me scratching my head also.

Very interesting to watch, and not at all reminiscent of indigestion. It's so counterintuitive it makes one think they have a little black hole hidden in there somewhere to provide a gravity well:-).

This has me intrigued. I think I'm going to pop in at Sears and take a peek. See if I can see anything that suggests how it does this.

I don't think it causes excessive wear on clothes. They would have had to test that issue during the development stage to avoid a potential product liability problem. Certainly no more wear than a regular agitator, and I think some of those cases are people using the Strong setting when Gentle will do.
 
Yes this action looks very similar to my GE Harmony, the poor lonely dear that it is. On my machine the water level would be just a bit higher (on the automatic water level cycles) but what you see in this machine is very similar.

You can manually fill the machine higher with a hose, but the rinse cycle goes back to the original water level, so you have to do it twice.

Good choice Jason, just because something is new and different and maybe less effective, usually means it's more fun and were not all here for performance, we're here for fun!

I wonder what mom would do if the Fisher Paykel died a mysterious death

Having a washer-teen in the house Jamie do you really think your mom would think that any washer death would be "mysterious"? LOL -- I tried it with my parents and that '68 Kenmore we had for years and I was always in trouble :)
 
Robert, you MEANIE

You tried to kill a Kenmore? SHAME!

But I bet it refused to die. That's how Kenmores are.

I don't see how the washer would be less effective on clothes. The clothes that are exposed to the disk will get a scrubbing, plus reports on THS are very positive.

Yeah, the fun factor is way up on these machines. A big YAY to Whirlpool for adding a window right at the get go. And this machine is defintely porcelain on top. It's built like a TANK.
 
Its me!

Hi, and thanks for watching my videos. If you have any questions concerning the operation of the washer, the cycles, please, feel free to ask. I'll try to answer as descriptively as possible, and if I can, post a video!
 
Hi Jonv112

Liked the videos. Can you see how this "invisible" agitator manages to get it's reverse rollover? It had many here wondering..i am not sure if that was answered or not.

One more question...only because i did not see a full wash cycle. Does this machine manage to thoroughly circulate a large load? The roll-over does seem a little slow. Very different and interesting though.
 
Yes, the machine does circulate the load quite thoroughly. The drain water proves it. It was the same, if not dirtier than my old washing machine.
