LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Families are
always looking for ways to make their lives easier and less complex
without compromising care. With the new Whirlpool® Smart
All-in-One CareTM Washer
and Dryer Combo, families can do just that. This smart combo
features an effective drying time and does not require a transfer
between the washer and dryer, allowing for one load to be
completely washed and dried in the same machine. Now when laundry
is forgotten in the washer and not transferred to the dryer, it's
taken care of with no worry.
"We constantly listen for what people want and need to make
their lives less complex," said Ryan
Morand, senior brand manager, Whirlpool brand. "We found
they often forget to transfer clothes from the washer to the dryer,
creating more time spent doing laundry than needed. With our new
combo laundry machine, there is no transfer necessary – clothes get
washed, then dried all in the same appliance."
Each feature of the washer and dryer combo is designed to fill a
real consumer need, remove guesswork and help families get the job
done. Features include:
- Transfer-Free and Compact Washing and Drying: Too busy
or forget to transfer freshly washed clothes to the dryer? With the
combo, the unit begins drying immediately after the wash cycle
completes, answering the need for less complex washing routines and
providing a compact unit perfect for tight spaces where a separate
washer and dryer might not fit.
- Load & GoTM Bulk Dispensing: Automatic
dispensing ensures each load gets the right amount of detergent, at
the right time, giving clothing precise fabric care. By providing
practical and meaningful methods, the washer makes laundry more
intuitive for everyone in the family.
- Amazon Dash Replenishment[1]: The combo senses when
laundry supplies are low and can automatically order more. When the
Whirlpool® mobile app[1] is synced with an Amazon account, the
feature estimates the amount of supplies remaining and sends an
order to Amazon for more detergent and affresh® washer
cleaner.
- Alert Notifications[1]: The unit can be remotely
controlled from a mobile device through the Whirlpool® mobile
app[1]. Through mobile device notifications, alerts are sent once a
load of laundry is complete, so no more guessing and checking in
frequently only to find out the cycle is not complete.
- Download & GoTM Cycles[1]: Consumer
insights show that most people don't know the type of laundry cycle
best suited for unique loads. With Download & GoTM
Cycles, families can download special cycles tailored to fit their
specific load and better protect their clothing, improving the care
they bring to the whole family.
From January 5-8, CES® attendees
can experience this and other Whirlpool brand innovations at booth
#41730 in the Smart Home section, located at the Sands Expo
Center.
