In the past, my appliance research and shopping efforts were focused on efficiency, functionality and cost. After 2 months with Whirlpool’s Laundry Duet Pair, I’ve come to appreciate the importance and usefulness of investing in appliances that incorporate innovation and technology.
I’ll be completely honest…I don’t know that I would have sought out machines with features like Precision Dispense (for laundry detergent), Advanced Moisture Sensing, and Laundry Apps (to name a few). However, these machines have changed, and are changing the way I do my laundry. Even after 2 1/2 months, I’m still learning about my machines. I’m also discovering functions that I didn’t know existed. I’m not a manual reader and learn best when I get hands-on. But in the short amount of time I’ve had these machines, I haven’t really had to read a manual apart from the initial wash and dry cycle. The machines are intuitive, and if you need help, you can simply inquire within the machine.
Thanks to Whirlpool’s new Laundry Duet Pair, my laundry regimen is smarter, more efficient, innovative, and practically effortless. Because this is my first experience with High Efficiency machines, I wasn’t sure how they compare to other machines in the same category. Features like Precision Dispense Ultra, which can hold enough detergent for up to 36 loads, are not inherent in most HE washers. 6th Sense is a technology specific to Whirlpool and protects clothes by controlling the temperature and amount of water used to wash clothing. This technology also means that the washer will sense your load and manage the precise release of detergent, fabric softener, etc. for optimal fabric care and cleaning. In the dryer, built-in sensors monitor air temperatures and moisture levels within the drying cycle so that when all items are dry, the machine shuts off thereby saving energy. Additionally, both the washer and the dryer possess a number of different cycles not traditionally seen in HE machines, such as a Hand Wash Cycle which uses innovative technology to mimic washing in the sink and steam wash and drying cycles.
Whirlpool took many factors into consideration when designing these machines. Knowing that I often leave clothes in the dryer for
hours days, they included an Enhanced Touch Up Cycle to get those wrinkles out. Knowing that sometimes, my husband doesn’t iron his work shirts, they included a Quick Refresh Cycle. Knowing that I often struggle with which stains to pre-treat or whether washing in cold or hot is more effective for specific stains, they’ve included a suite of built-in laundry apps. Innovative!
Last week I gave you a quick video tour of Whirlpool’s Duet Washer. This week, I’m showing you my favorite features of the dryer, including the steam cycle options available when you hook it up to a water line.
Have you ever thought about innovation when researching appliances?
Stay tuned! I have one more post to share with you and it’s a good one! It’s all about the apps inherent in the Duet Washer and how to troubleshoot your laundry regimen.
I wrote this review while participating in a test-drive campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Whirlpool and received a complimentary Whirlpool Duet washer and dryer to facilitate my review.
