When it comes to the Whirlpool brand Duet® laundry family, consumers have come to expect two values: resource-efficient design and superior capacity. However, the latest washer and dryer models now offer a variety of innovative features that fit a wide range of consumer needs – and more importantly, budgets – allowing consumers even greater flexibility and choice when choosing a laundry pair for their home.
According to a 2009 Whirlpool Corporation survey conducted in conjunction with Harris Interactive, more than two thirds of respondents indicated they do their best to be 'green' to the extent it fits their lifestyle and finances. With a price tag starting at less than $600 MSRP, the Duet® 9050 offers advanced energy and water savings, yet fits a smaller family budget.
"Whirlpool brand is focused on offering consumers a wide range of laundry options which fit any lifestyle, yet consistently provide the energy and water savings they have come to expect," said Brandon Buckingham, senior brand manager, Whirlpool laundry. "Whether they are seeking the flexibility to run a wash at night and avoid peak energy costs – or the need for a fast cycle during the day – a model in the Duet® family will fit the bill."
High-efficiency Duet® washers garner one of the most efficient energy ratings available – CEE Tier III – meaning the machine features advanced water and energy savings for the consumer, more than $1,000 in lifetime water and energy costs (when compared to a pre-2004 conventional washer, based on a 10-year life cycle).
In addition, the Duet® 9050 dryer offers an AccuDry™ cycle that uses 10 percent less energy than a conventional dryer's normal cycle when paired with a Duet® washer.*
Across the Duet® line, Whirlpool brand offers smart, innovative features which meet consumers' laundry needs and increase efficiency in the laundry room.
The FanFresh™ option, available on the Duet® 9750, intermittently tumbles clothes in the wash drum for up to 10 hours after the cycle ends. Meanwhile, a quiet fan draws out moisture through a vent to help keep clothes smelling clean and prevent wrinkles from setting in. Additionally, the industry-first NightQuiet™ option, also available on the Duet® 9550, further reduces operational sound and is great for those whose laundry rooms are close to living areas or bedrooms.
For consumers interested in a different option, the TumbleFresh™ cycle on the Duet® 9550, Duet® 9150 and Duet® 9250 tumbles clean clothes periodically for up to six hours after the cycle ends, reducing wrinkles and sour smells. If you have a need for speed and efficiency though, the Duet® washer features the industry's fastest wash time and can handle a load in just 17 minutes. Moreover, the Delay Wash setting can be used to set the washer to begin up to 18 hours later, perfect for timing during off-peak hours when utility rates may be lower or when unloading the washer is more convenient.
