Wow, this laundry machine is awesome! It can wash everything in one load, and forget loading soap…put a liter in and we’re good to go for 15 big loads of towels, clothes, blankets, etc. We have done it all this week, including rugs, and microfiber towels and mop heads, and everything has come out clean.
Favorite features:
1. Huge capacity: I can get so much laundry in this thing and it comes out clean.
2. Load and Go: put a liter of soap in the dispenser, and I don’t have to add soap to the laundry for the next 15 loads.
3. Rinse button: starts the water faucet so I can rinse my hands off after dropping in the laundry. I love this.
4. Little stain brush WITH soap: this is awesome. A little container of soap, a push button top to drip soap into the bristles on the face, and I can scrub stains quickly, plus rinse my hands off with the water faucet. These two things alone are reason to buy a new washer.
5. Pretty quick. It is not much slower than our previous washer, an agitator-bar model we selected two years ago because the agitator bar was supposed to be so much better at getting clothes clean. I would guess this machine is 10 minutes longer run-time, but the water efficiency was way better with this machine, plus I’m washing half-again as many clothes as the old machine. My wife considers this a win for the new machine-the less she needs to get up and down to take care of laundry the better. If she can get 3 loads of laundry (old machine, which really was only 2 years old) in 2 loads (new machine, same footprint, way more clothes), so doesn’t care how long it takes.
Does it clean well? Yes, absolutely. We have a bunch of little kids, so mud is a normal thing, and it has all come out. We also have animals, and my wife likes to use towels and blankets for the guinea pigs instead of bedding-we shake out the “fertilizer” into our garden or yard, and then wash those three nasty things. I can tell you, as the main folder of rags and such, this washer is cleaning perfectly.
I thought the smart functions were silly, and now I’m almost convinced they’re great. I downloaded the Whirlpool app, connected the washer to my home network, and it found itself and I don’t even remember the installation, so it must have been easy. Here’s why I really like the app: I can build a custom wash program in the app intuitively by just scrolling through the options-soil level, water level, temp, spin speed, extra rinse, etc. After the load is done I have the option to have a message sent to someone who will be home to switch the laundry over or air dry. That’s cool so clothes don’t get spoiled. Another cool thing about the app so clothes don’t get rancid is the remote start and the delay start (just like your dishwasher). The remote start is just that-load it up with blankets and towels and all the stuff you don’t want to deal with after a long day, and when you’re an hour or two from home, open the app and start the load. The soap is already there from the Load and Go dispenser, clothes are in it, lid is closed, and now it’s running without you having to hear it, and instead you return home to a double-rinsed perfectly clean load of laundry that just needs to be switched over, unless you trigger it to send a message to whomever is home to switch the laundry to the drying when it’s finished (i.e. when the washer is finished and the load is ready to go to the dryer, that is when the message gets sent, so no one can say they forgot).
