With the ‘UK Superbrand award for Quality, Reliability and Distinction’ for the year 2007/08, Whirlpool has been successfully competing to provide technological solutions to everyone’s everyday needs.
The latest in the list of creations is the Whirlpool AWO/D 8708 concentrating on huge loads of laundry. It is a front loading free standing washing machine with dimensions: 850mm high, 595 mm wide and 600 mm deep. It has an extra large capacity of 8 kg suitable for large families and equivalent. Reduced washings lead to considerable energy savings. This feature has got an ‘A+’ for energy efficiency. However it does not hold any warranty.
It has spin speed of 1400 revolutions per minute. Higher spin speed ensures maximum expulsion of water from the washing resulting in shorter drying time. The all-new Blue Touch Technology of the AWO/D 8708 makes it stand apart from its siblings of the AWO/D series.
Let us have a quick review of AWO/D 8708:
- Blue Touch Evolution: As the name goes, the blue-coloured control panel has an eye-catching design giving a cool feeling. The elegant-looking panel has soft push buttons and a delicate knob for easy programming. The remarkable LCD panel guides you throughout the wash cycle with no trouble.
- 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.
- Super Eco programme: The AWO/D series of washing machines are eco-friendly providing nearly 40% of energy conservation.
- 6th 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.
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!
