Kenmore Elite Oasis HE 4.7 cu. ft. Top-Load Washing Machine (2806) —

For all you reviewers who have "owned your Oasis washer 1 month and love it", I say: just give it time. When you get your first "F1" or "F6" code and have to have a repairman out to replace expensive electronics, the honeymoon is over. I can't believe I paid all this money for stuff I'd like to haul to the dump. The high-efficiency washer does NOT clean like old-fashioned agitator washers. I've been washing clothes for over 30 years and I can verify that this new technology is overpriced and overhyped. Shopping for a new washer? Take it from me, buy one of the old-fashioned kind and pass on this one.
