Whirlpool, the premium appliance manufacturer, has introduced a brand new range of built-in washing machines and a washer dryer. The Whirlpool built-in washing machine boasts a 7 kg capacity (BI WMWG 71484 UK), with the benefit of new  FreshCare+ technology, while the new washer dryer takes a 7 kg wash load and can dry up to 5 kg of laundry in one go (BI WDWG 7148 UK). Both appliances offer the benefit of being able to be built-in to the kitchen, so you can tuck them away seamlessly, providing uniformity in the kitchen.

The Whirlpool FreshCare+™ system is designed to keep laundry fresh even hours after the washing cycle has finished. The Whirlpool FreshCare+™ system gently massages garments with regular, slow, drum movements alternated with infusions of steam. This combination of movement and steam creates the ideal level of humidity by allowing air to circulate within the drum, penetrating fibres and keeping garments fresh and odour free for up to six hours after the cycle has finished*.

What’s more, the new Whirlpool built-in FreshCare+ range benefits from the patented and intuitive 6^TH SENSE^® technology, which guarantees optimal performance. 6^TH SENSE^® technology monitors the size of the load, adapting the resources to save up to 50 per cent of water, energy and time**. The range also boasts a delayed start option, allowing you to set the appliance to begin its cycle at a convenient time, or to take advantage of lower energy tariffs, where available. An LCD display and neat, subtle control buttons offer ease of use and complement the sophisticated design of the appliances.

“Whirlpool has designed the new built-in range to seamlessly blend into the kitchen or to make for a neat and contemporary look for the utility room. The unique, intuitive experience of the new washing machine range and the washer dryer sense and adapt to each and every consumer‘s need.

“We have introduced the FreshCare+™ system to remove the worry of when to do the laundry, leaving truly fresher smelling clothes and peace of mind – even hours after the end of the cycle,” Tailang Bu, Laundry Category Marketing Manager, Whirlpool.
