Whirlpool Front Load Washing Machines

Efficiency in Everything: Whirlpool Front Load Washers

Ever since they created their first washing machine back in 1911, the engineers at Whirlpool have been driving innovation in the world of laundry machines. Over a hundred years later, the new technology of Whirlpool front load washers is overtaking the top load washers that have been popular in the past. And rightfully so: these easy-open laundry machines surpass their ancestors in more ways than one, from energy and water efficiency to providing a higher-quality clean. If you're looking for laundry machines that outclass the competition, explore Whirlpool front load washers from Abt.

A Pristine Clean: Washing with Gravity

When compared to the old-fashioned devices you grew up with, you might find these Whirpool front load washers to look a little...empty. That's because there's no agitator inside the drum to twirl clothes around, which is the action that helps remove stains and soils in traditional top load models. Instead, the drum on a Whirlpool front load washer rotates quickly like a dryer, tossing clothing, hot water, and soap against each other. The physics involved in the process means the clothes fall together and rub against each other instead of an agitator. The forces of gravity and motion create a rubbing process (made gentler by just enough water) that yields a higher-quality clean in nearly all practical tests compared to agitator top load models. That means you'll end up with noticeably cleaner clothes and you might not even need to pretreat some of those stubborn stains anymore.

Save Water & Energy

Make sure your cleaning methods help keep the planet green, too. Whirlpool front load washers use significantly less water and energy than traditional models, making these devices as green as green can be. Instead of submersing fabrics in enough water to cover them, these machines use water much more sparingly and include only as much water as needed. Over time, those saved gallons of water add up to make a significant impact on your energy bill—all while your clothes stay as clean as possible. Keep in mind that laundry day isn't just about washing. it's also about drying. You may have noticed that wet towels and sheets take longer in the dryer than a few shirts will. That's because these fabrics cling to water unless they're spun dry at the end of the washing process. Whirlpool front load washers are designed to spin that extra water out of your clothing before the wash cycle even stops. That means your dryer (one of the most energy-consuming products in the home) will spend less gas or electricity, and you'll have dry clothes faster than ever before. Many Whirlpool front load washers are ENERGY STAR® qualified.
