Whirlpool Once Again Comes Out With New Front Loaders (by Tom on May.24, 2009)
What’s the difference compared to the other models? There is increase capacity of 4.4 cu. ft. Higher RPM, Night Quiet mode, Different steps of Rinses, and new feature called Tumble Fresh
As there are many other machines out there Whirlpool are catching up with LG and Electrolux washers and dryers. The spacious 4.4 cu. ft. tub is pretty big! Compared to the LG 4.5 cu. ft and Electrolux 4.7 cu. ft. Whirlpool is not much smaller. For example for every .1 cu ft. you can put in 1 average size towel. If Electrolux can hold 3 more towels, how would that affect 30 bath towels in a Electrolux vs. 27 bath towels in a Whirlpool in one load? I don’t even think I have 30 bath towels in my household! The higher RPM is pretty interesting. Before the 4.4 cu. ft washer of the 9700 series was only 1000 RPM and now increased to 1300 RPM, I will do some research on this, once the part layouts are online and see what they have done to get it up to 1300 RPM.
Another interesting Feature is the “Night Quiet” mode; this feature will automatically reduce the spin speed when higher vibrations are present. Now you can do laundry when children are sleeping or when you don’t want to wake anyone up.
“TumbleFresh” feature will tumble your clothes, keeping wrinkles from setting in for up to 6 hours after the wash is done. If you don’t trust me go to this Whirlpool website and click on the features, they are pretty much right when writing on a professional company website. Each model with a lower number will have less and less features as described above. The 9550 has all these features I have talked about.
The rinsing feature has been changed; you can no longer just push “extra rinse” they have put in a new feature where you have three sets of Rinse options, “Normal” rinse are for normal rinsing, extra rinse adds another rinse making three rinses in one wash and the “Max” rinse uses higher water levels to help clean out the clothes. I think this is a great option for Whirlpool to put on, because I know there are people who can get their clothes really dirty or even have really sensitive skin.
Whirlpool Matching dryers have not changed much on these pairs. Supposedly the Dryer has a new “Eco Normal” cycle; I have no clue what that does, but Whirlpool claims it saves 40% more energy when using the pair’s “Eco Normal” cycle. I also noticed a smaller drum. It’s now 7.2 cu ft. and their last one was 7.5 cu. ft. I think this promote the “Eco Normal” cycle.
I know many people have asked about the 9700 series. Now that washer has fewer features then the ones above. I personally think the Whirlpool is making a new washer (prolly a 9750 series) I think the capacity will increase and maybe more energy and water savings and a higher RPM, you would think 1300 is pretty high but in Europe, their highest spinning washer is 2000 RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) which is made by Asko. I will post another article when Whirlpool makes another move in the laundry room.
A Few more Washers and Dryers Added From Whirlpool (by Tom on Jul.10, 2009)
Through some research I have found a couple more new washers and dryers they are adding on the market, the last article “Once Again Whirlpool comes out with new front loaders” well here we go again!
I just knew it they would come out with a new 9700 series and they sure have, the 9750 is pretty neat looking with a hint of gold door gives an added expensive touch! Although I am not as impressed with the 9750 as I thought it would be, really the only difference is a few more cycles, .1 cu. ft. bigger and a “Fanfresh” to air out the washer to help prevent mildew. I am not sure about the washing and the spin speed yet, I would assume and hope the washer would have higher RPM’s it would make sense because it’s a “Top of the line” When I get more info on this washer and dryer pair I will post another article on the 9750 Check back soon!
The New Duet Sport are upgrading, They are allot like the Regular Duet pairs. Just a few less features and a little smaller. Here are some of the features this Sport Pair has
Whirlpool Duet Sport 8400
“TumbleFresh” feature will tumble your clothes, keeping wrinkles from setting in for up to 6 hours after the wash is done.
New Eco Heavy Duty and Eco Whitest Whites are cycles that use lower water temperatures to maximize efficiency; although these cycles will take more time to wash to make sure clothes get clean!
“Small Load” is the new name for “Quick Wash” many consumers have used this wash for big loads and don’t get the results they want. I think this is a great idea and it makes more sense.
The Dryer Duet Sport just has the New Eco Normal Cycle, nothing more has changed. The Eco normal once again lowers temperatures to maximize efficiency.
