Forget Unit Dose!

Unit dose, pacs and pods may be the fastest growing part of the laundry detergent sector, saving consumers time on wash day. But Whirlpool says it has designed a new top load washer and dryer that lets consumers skip adding detergent every load and has a large enough capacity that it can wash a “week's worth” of clothes at once. 
 
With the Load & Go system, families can fill this new washer with a “month's worth” of detergent at once, and forget it. Automatic dispensing ensures each load gets the right amount of detergent, giving clothing precise fabric care.

The appliance maker defines a week's worth as up to 3.77 seven pound baskets. 
 
“The way families care for each other inspires our innovations to be meaningful, making a difference in the daily routine,” said Chelsey Lindstrom, brand manager, Whirlpool brand. “Those differences can be as simple as making it easier to select the perfect wash cycle or automating the detergent process to dispense the right amount for the size and type of load.”
 
The Whirlpool Top Load Washer and Dryer pair, which will be available nationwide in May 2016, together have a starting MSRP of $2,500 – $3,000.
