Adaptive Wash Technology with Auto Load Sensing Adaptive Wash technology with Auto Load Sensing automatically senses and adapts to the size of your load and uses the right amount of water for great cleaning. The wash system is more gentle while delivering better cleaning performance 1 to keep colors bright.

Precision Dispense Plus Senses and adapts to each load, adding detergent, bleach, fabric softener and oxygenated additives on select models at just the right time. A concentrated burst of detergent showers directly onto clothes to penetrate stains and pretreat soils.

11 Adaptive Wash Actions Up to 11 different adaptive wash actions provide a combination of powerful cleaning and gentle fabric care. They sense and adapt to the needs of each load, handling everything from heavily soiled jeans to delicates.

Care Control Temperature Management Adjusts the cold and hot water inlets to reach temperatures that are warm enough to dissolve detergents. Water is kept from overheating to help reduce shrinking and color bleeding while saving energy.

4.8 cu. ft. Capacity Wash more than 3 baskets of laundry in one load. The washer's 4.8 cu. ft. capacity wash basket offers enough space to handle larger loads and bulky items.

Direct Drive Motor The new direct drive motor powers an enhanced direct drive system that handles larger loads.

EcoBoost Option with Eco Monitor Get additional energy efficiency and great cleaning performance. This option uses less hot water and increases the tumbling action to decrease energy use while still delivering great cleaning and gentle performance. You can even track the energy use of this eco-friendly option with the Eco Monitor. It allows you to see how the cycles and options you choose will affect your overall energy savings in both the washer and the dryer.

Unique Soft-Touch Impeller The unique soft-touch impeller helps move clothes gently through the water allowing the H2Low wash system to provide better cleaning performance 1 and gentle fabric care. To protect fabrics and fibers during the wash cycle, a specially designed material fully wraps the impeller vanes.

Smooth Spiral Stainless Steel Wash Basket The stainless steel wash basket resists odors and rust and features a spiral design for greater fabric care and gentle cleaning performance. The smooth surface helps protect delicate fabrics from snagging.

Meets CEE Tier 3 2 Standards CEE Tier 3 2 standard is based on the Consortium for Energy Efficiency qualifying product lists. Tier 3 is the highest efficiency and only the most efficient models meet it, making this one of the most water- and energy-efficient washers you can buy. Visit cee1.org for more information.

ENERGY STAR® Qualified ENERGY STAR® qualified models exceed government standards to help conserve natural resources and save money on your utility bills.

EasyView Framed Glass Lid A see-through glass lid allows you to look inside and see the wash action while the load is in progress.

Quick Wash Cycle The Quick Wash cycle is designed to clean small loads rapidly.

Estimated Time Remaining Display A digital display on the console counts down the amount of time left in the cycle, so you can always know when it's time to remove items from the washer.

Clean Washer Cycle with affresh® Washer Cleaner Deep-fill the washer to clean even those areas that aren't normally reached by low-water wash cycles. Add an affresh® Washer cleaner tablet for best results.

Cold Wash Cycle The Cold Wash cycle uses adaptive wash actions together with a concentrated solution of HE detergent and cold water to gently lift stains and soils from fabrics. This cycle delivers great cleaning while protecting fabrics from heat damage and using less energy.

Delicate Cycle Low-speed wash action helps you take better care of delicate fabrics. It also works well on waterproof items like shower curtains and raincoats.

Heavy Duty Cycle Faster spin speeds plus the Adaptive Clean wash system combine to remove tough stains from sturdier fabrics.

Active Wear Cycle Provides extra care for performance garments like running and biking clothes.

Bulky Items Cycle Easily cleans larger items like comforters, sleeping bags, down jackets or pillows.

Delay Wash Option Sets the wash cycle to begin up to 9 hours later so you can take advantage of non-peak utility rates or wash at a more convenient time.

Automatic Water Level Automatic water levels regulate the amount of water based on the size of the load. Only the amount needed to clean is used, increasing efficiency.

1,100 RPM Maximum Spin Speed The direct drive motor provides faster spin speeds in the washer to remove more moisture from clothes, so they spend less time in the dryer.

Adjustable End-of-Cycle Signal Avoid leaving clean clothes in the washer with the adjustable end-of-cycle signal. Thanks to a helpful tone, you'll know when your wash cycle is finished. You can even turn it off

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.
