New Whirlpool Washers Are ‘Green-Friendly’

Whirlpool Corporation has introduced a pair of new top-loading washing machines that significantly reduce water consumption.

The new classic model uses up to 20 percent less water than previous models and sells locally for about B$1,000 before any retailer discounts. The high-efficiency model slashes water use by up to a remarkable 70 percent and retails for about B$1,300.

“These affordably-priced washers usher in a new era of energy-efficient performance. Consumers will enjoy lower electric and water bills as well as access to all the benefits of a front-loading machine at an affordable, top-loader price,” said Luis F. Barrios of Whirlpool Latin America’s Caribbean marketing arm.

These washers meet or exceed the United States Department of Energy’s rigorous new energy-efficiency standards, which for the first time restrict amounts of water that a washer may use. The regulations also tightened up the energy efficiency requirements washers must meet to earn the coveted Energy Star rating.

Both washers operate on entirely new platforms. The classic model has sensors that allow better tracking of washing cycles and a care control temperature feature that controls the amounts of hot and cold water to prevent shrinking or color bleeding. The high-efficiency model achieves a deep clean while protecting the fabric and colors of clothes, and adds a “sixth sense” feature that senses and automatically adapts to what clothes need for a perfect wash.
