Adaptive Wash technology makes this front load washer an exquisite selection from Whirlpool. Adaptive Wash automatically senses the needs of each individual load, adjusting the wash action, temperature and time accordingly - no more guesswork. Special wash options like TumbleFresh and ColorLast go above and beyond for perfect clothing care. TumbleFresh periodically tumbles the load after the cycle has finished to keep your clothes fresh before transferring them to the dryer. ColorLast keeps colors vibrant by using gentle temperatures during the cycle. With the PreSoak option, you get added fight against tough stains, especially when you select the steam wash option. Stains wont stand a chance. EcoBoost ensures excellent efficiency without sacrificing wash performance. With ENERGY STAR certification, you can be sure this is an efficient and money-saving washer. This washer is undercounter installable for maximum space efficiency. Limited brand warranty covers parts and labor for 1 year.

At Whirlpool, advanced performance means getting great results while using less water and energy. Their ENERGY STAR qualified appliances deliver eco-efficient operation that exceeds the toughest government standards. Whirlpool is dedicated to making guesswork a thing of the past. Every detail is attended to. Every machine is designed to help you manage your home precisely the way you want-easier, faster and smarter. Available at Designer Appliances.
