Roomier, gentler, now with steam . . . the Duet WFW9550
Come laundry day, there are only a couple things you need to be happy: you want a machine that cleans and cares for your clothes, and you want to spend as little time as possible doing laundry. That's not such a tall order. Whirlpool agrees, and accordingly, they've beefed up their Duet washer. Presenting the WFW9550. Thanks to its enormous 3.8 cu. ft. stainless steel wash tub, the WFW9550 front-load Duet washer lets you wash more clothes at once. And the more clothes you wash per load, the fewer loads you wash. And fewer loads mean less time spent washing and more time spent playing. Further, the WFW9550 brings you Whirlpool's Duet Steam Fabric Care System, integrating a variety of wash technologies that deliver a high-performance, gentle clean for all your duds. Heading up this advanced repertoire is (you might have guessed) the Deep Clean steam option. Filling the wash chamber with steam, the Deep Clean option penetrates deep into fabric fibers, breaking down and dissolving stains like grass and grease without pre-treating. The result is exceptionally effective and gentle washing. And when it comes to Duet Steam Fabric Care, this is just the beginning.
Moving beyond "clean"
Whether the kids got carried away at the petting zoo or you've just finished butchering this year's big-game harvest, there are times when you need to do more than merely "clean" your clothes. You need the WFW9550's NSF-certified Sanitary Cycle, part of Whirlpool's Duet Steam Fabric Care system. This specially designed wash cycle eliminates 99.99% of microorganisms without the use of bleach, serving up clean and healthy clothes that still receive the utmost care.
More on the Duet Steam Fabric Care System
We'll, we're guessing that by now you're at least a little impressed by the Whirlpool Duet Steam Fabric Care System. After all, it integrates everything from a steam wash cycle, advanced sensor-wash operation, and a Direct Inject system. But, there's a little more to the Steam system, yet. For example, Care Control Temperature Management adjusts cold- and hot-water inlets, optimizing water temperatures to properly dissolve detergents while preventing overheating for minimized shrinking or color bleeding. Further, the spacious 4.4 cu. ft. stainless steel drum becomes increasingly polished with use over time, treating your duds to a progressively gentler touch.
ENERGY STAR qualified efficiency
Seeking to meet your demand to reduce energy use and preserve the environment, Whirlpool has made sure that the WFW9550 meets the U.S. government's standard for ENERGY STAR qualification.
