Whirlpool Duet Washer & Dryer Specialty Cycles & Fun Features #Whirlpoolmoms

The Whirlpool Duet Washer and Dryer have been in my home for a few months now. I’ve used the Affresh Clean cycle twice now and I’m still very happy with how it works. Today, I wanted to take you all a little deeper into the Specialty cycles. I made a video for all of you to watch but understand that some of you just aren’t into watching videos. So you can read about the specialty cycles down below.

 

The washer’s easy-­‐to-­‐fill liquid detergent reservoir can hold up to 36 loads in one fill! I love how it just knows how much soap to use for each cycle and I can run it quite a few times before needing to refill it. I must not be filling it all the way because I’ve never made it 36 loads. I’m only filling it to the line, which must be the halfway mark and not the fill line, because I would say that I get about 15 loads in-between each fill.

The washer senses load conditions and manages the precise release of each additive at the right time during the cycle for optimal fabric care and cleaning. So far the only additive I have used is the laundry detergent. There is also a place for bleach and fabric softener.

Smart temperature control helps reduce shrinking and color bleeding and the washer offers 14 specialty fabric care cycles. One thing I hate is fading, so I love that I can keep my blacks black and my colors bright! I used to always thing that it had nothing to do with the washing machine. I always thought it relied solely on what type of laundry detergent you use. Care control temperature management enabled by 6th Sense technology helps protect your clothes by controlling water amount and temperature.

With so many cycle options you can choose from Hand Wash Cycle, which mimics washing in the sink for care of hand wash only garments, to Deep Clean Steam Option, which penetrates deep into fabric fibers, breaking down and dissolving stains like grass and grease without pretreating. The specialty cycles let you wash kids clothes as if they were dirtier than everything else. Cause you know they are. Also you can wash blankets on a blanket setting and jeans on a jeans setting. Many of the settings you can change the water temperature or how hard the spin cycle runs. There is a my specialty cycle that is completely customizable and saved on the machine for your next run.

The Whirlpool Duet Washes Itself #Whirlpoolmoms

So far so good, the Whirlpool Washer and Dryer are still doing a great job. So one day I was washing and all the sudden my washing machine said, I need to be cleaned, please run the Affresh cycle. Umm, good thing I already had some Affresh on hand.

The Affresh® washer cleaning kit, specifically designed for HE washing machines, specially The Whirlpool Duet like I have, helps remove and prevent odor-causing residue build-up that can accumulate in all brands and configurations. Having had an HE machine in the past that I did not wash once a month, I know that this is what I need to do for my new one and thank goodness it reminds me when a month is over because I can’t keep up with a month. Where did September go people?

The oxygenated bubbling action of the Power Puck™ tablet penetrates and dissolves unseen residue in areas that cannot be reached like behind the washer drum, while the specially formulated Grit Grabber™ cloths clean within reach by breaking up residue around the rubber door seal and detergent dispenser, locking it into the cloth. Combined these powerful tools provide a more effective cleaning option than bleach alone.

If used once a month, the Affresh® washer cleaning kit can help prevent odor-causing residue from accumulating. Heavily soiled washers may require repeated treatments to remove traces of odor and residue. In this case, Whirlpool recommends running three successive washer cleaning cycles with one Affresh® tablet in each.

Availability:

Retailers nationwide including Sears, Best Buy, Lowe’s, Kroger and Food Lion, as well as supermarkets and www.affresh.com. The Affresh® tablets are available via a subscription through the Web site to make washer maintenance a snap.

The Whirlpool Duet pair is user-friendly and has tons of advanced features designed to make laundry easy just like the Affresh cycle makes my life easier. Next month we’ll discover the special cycles and how cool it is to have a kids clothing cycle.

Eureka The Jeans are Dry! #Whirlpoolmoms

I’m really really loving the Whirlpool Duet Washer and Dryer. As you may know, this month I changed out my old washer and dryer for a new Whirlpool Duet Washer and Dryer. My husband and I both quickly fell in love with them. They wash and dry our clothes quite well. You can read my love letters to our new appliances but I felt that I didn’t give the dryer enough love. Here’s why…

I was out of town and didn’t really get the chance to put the dryer to the test until now.

JEANS!!!

We’ve had quite a few issues getting jeans dry. Our older dryer it would take us three tries to get the jeans dry. Yes you read that correctly, three tries. I would get tired of drying them and pull them out early and then my husband would tell me that his jeans were dirty. And I’d get upset because I just washed them. Well if they are damp at all when I hang them up, my husband can smell that.

The Whirlpool Duet DRIED them first try!

I washed and dried 7 pairs of jeans and loved that they were dry. Which setting did I use? I used the jean setting as is. I didn’t change any of the preset settings on the jeans dryer cycle.

It’s almost been a full month and we still the Whirlpool Duet Washer & Dryer very much.
