Whirlpool is known to the world since 1911 and has been in Europe for more that 20 years. Whirlpool has been successfully competing to provide technological solutions to everyone's everyday needs. It has won the 'UK Superbrand award for Quality, Reliability and Distinction' for the year 2007/08.

• Advanced aqua control system constantly monitors the water level and instantaneously stops the inflow in case of leakage and the LCD warns you about the trouble.

It has a spin speed of 1200 revolutions per minute. Research has shown that higher spin speed ensures maximum expulsion of water from the washing resulting in shorter drying time. It has been a recent trend to avoid hot water valves in washing machines simply because it saves the manufacturers reasonable amount on production costs. However they do justify that cold fill machines increase the washing efficiency of biological detergents. So people allergic to biological detergents, watch out!

Let us have a quick review of AWO/D 8508:

• Microban anti-bacterial programme: Whirlpool AWO/D 8708 has a built-in anti-bacterial system from Microban International. Added to products during the manufacturing process, Microban reduces the growth of microbes (bacteria and mould) and foul smell.
• Blue Touch Evolution: As the name goes, the ergonomically designed control panel has a striking design with soft push buttons and a delicate knob for easy programming. The remarkable LCD panel guides you throughout the wash cycle with no trouble.
• 6^th sense technology: The intuitive sensors of Whirlpool analyze and evaluate the resource requirements as according to the load size to ensure an optimal cleaning performance. This could be a huge bonus for people on a busy schedule saving them ample amount of time and resources.
• Super Eco programme: The AWO/D series of washing machines are eco-friendly providing nearly 40% of energy conservation.

The ergonomics of the all-new Blue Touch Technology of the AWO/D 8508 makes it stand apart from its siblings of the AWO/D series. However, washing small loads of laundry in a huge drum would reduce creasing and save time while ironing.
