Laundry Buying Guide

The average person washes approximately $3,000 of clothing every single week. To protect your investment and keep your clothes looking like new, it's important to buy the washer and dryer pair that's right for your family.

Top-Load Laundry Pairs

The basic automatic top-load washing machine started it all after World War II and millions of Americans still rely on this laundry mainstay. Available in a variety of models, styles, price ranges and features, top-load washers are known for their reliability, high capacity and speed. Generally, top-loading washing machines are less expensive to purchase than front-loading washers, but are slightly more costly to run because they use more water and electricity.

Cabrio Fabric Care System

The Whirlpool® Cabrio® HE is designed for large families and people who do heaps of laundry. In fact, the washer can wash three baskets of laundry in a single load, while the Cabrio® Steam dryer naturally steams away wrinkles and odors in just minutes. Its ultra-fast spin speed optimizes airflow and reduces dry times to just under 30 minutes for an average load.

Front-Load Laundry Pairs

Front-loaders clean by tumbling rather than agitation, so they're usually gentler on fabrics than conventional top-load washing machines. The tub doesn't need to fill completely with water as it does on top-loading washers, so front-loaders use less water and energy per load. Since they often have a faster spin speed, most front-loading washers remove more water from clothing, which reduces drying time. Generally, front-load washing machines are more expensive to purchase, but because they're more energy efficient, front-loaders are almost always less costly to run.

Duet HT® Fabric Care System

If style and performance are just as important to you as the environment, you'll love the Duet HT® washer and dryer. The earth-friendly washer saves up to 70 percent more energy and uses 70 percent less water.* To save time, the large capacity and speed of the pair lets you wash 16 pairs of jeans in a single load.**
