Whirlpool WFW88HEAC Duet Stream 27in. Front Load Washer (4.3 cu ft)
Precision Dispense; Steam-Cleaning; Pre Soak; 11 Cycles, Cold Wash, Eco Monitor and Heater Chrome ShadowI spy with my little eye a Duet-Steam frontload washer, with Precision Dispense, which accurately works out the amount of detergent needed for any of the 11 special washing options. And just look how well the Six-Hour Tumble-Fresh program protects your clothes with its intermittent tumble action. Why not also spy out the additional benefits of the Cold Wash cycle, which is not only very economical, but combines a concentrated mix of High Efficiency detergent with a special washing action for great results.

Washer Highlights
Interior Features
Up to 8 hour Presoak This cycle permits that extra time for pre-soaking heavily soiled garments following which the wash cycle will begin automatically Soaking times can be selected for as little as 30 minutes up-to-8 hours.
Bulky Items Cycle There are a good range of automatic wash cycle options including the popular Bulky Items and the Eco Boost options as well
Steam-Enhanced Cycles Let steam power help to eliminate the toughest stains easily and safely by penetrating deep into the fibres of the fabric, dissolving stubborn stain without the need for a pre-wash.
Adaptive Clean Wash System Not only are your clothes cared for with the Adaptive Care-Wash action, where a cold wash cycle and a concentrated solution of HE detergent gently lifts stains from your garments but this is also energy efficient and eco-friendly.
Quick Wash Cycle Ideal for those lightly soiled items the Quick-Wash setting extracts more water with its increased spin speed.
Exterior Features The Tap-Touch controls are sleek in appearance and easy to use and select, giving a wide range of wash selections and allowing direct access to the washer function. The easy to read and simple to select LED display features an estimated time remaining and status displays.
CEE Tier III Qualified and Energy Star Rated There is significant water and energy saving with these ratings and this washer may qualify for a local energy efficient rebate.
Other Features include Stainless steel wash basket; 5 Temperature selections; Quiet-Spin technology; a Delay Wash for up to 12 hours and an Allergen cycle removing up to 95% of harmful allergens from your washing.

Comparisons within the Whirlpool Series »
This washer keeps the core features of Whirpool’s top two front load premium washers (the
WFW96HEAU and
WFW94HEAC), it has the same size, and wash cycles, including steam and allergen. However it lacks a few premium features, having no Active Spray Technology which is only available on Whirlpool’s top dog front loader (WFW96HEAU), and also it doesn’t have the12 hour fan fresh. If you want a cheaper Whirpool front loader you’ll have to compromise on the core features and go for the smaller 3.5 cu ft
