ENERGY STAR is only the beginning

Today, integrating energy-efficient appliances and electronics into your home is essential both for reducing resource consumption and for saving money on utility costs. The fact that Whirlpool's WTW6800WW Cabrio washer sports an ENERGY STAR qualification is important because it's your sign that this top-load washer meets strict efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. government. But when we're talking about the WTW680WW's energy-efficient, money-saving performance, this is only the beginning. "Efficiency" doesn't quite seem to do this washer justice: it's 67% more energy efficient and 70% more water efficient than your standard top-load washer. Wow. Keep reading to learn about all the advanced design features that allow this Whirlpool washer to deliver efficient, low-cost operation and thoroughly, gently cleaned clothes.

More is less, in a good way . . . the 5.0 cu. ft. tub

One of the principle ways the Whirlpool WTW6800WW achieves its remarkable energy-efficient performance is based on logic: The fewer loads of laundry you run, the less energy and water you use. Period. And with its whopping 5.0 cu. ft. wash tub, the WTW6800WW brings you ample space to wash more clothes in every load. Larger loads mean fewer loads, and fewer loads mean less water and energy use. Add the fact that the 5.0 cu. ft. wash tub is constructed of smooth, snag-free, odor- and rust-resisting stainless steel, and you get washing performance enhanced by gentle clothing treatment and durable operation.

ESW — Extra-sensory washing

Of course, washing larger and fewer loads of laundry isn't the only way to reduce energy use and operating costs. And it certainly doesn't account for washing performance, i.e. the care your clothes receive. Presenting Whirlpool's 6th Sense technology. As soon as you begin a wash cycle in the WTW6800WW, various internal sensors automatically measure the size of the load and then precisely set the amount of water necessary to wash that volume of clothing. Further, as the tub fills with the wash water, integrated Care Control heat sensors monitor the water temperature, ensuring that the water warms gradually to optimize the effectiveness of cleaning enzymes in the detergent. Finally, suds sensors work to prevent messes caused by oversudsing. Ultimately, this precise level of sensor-based washing operation minimizes water and energy use while delivering an effective, gentle clean to your clothes.

The last thing you want to do is wash something twice

Washing poorly cleaned clothing a second time is a huge drain on energy and water use. For this reason, Whirlpool's WTW6800WW washer features a Direct Inject wash system, ensuring that clothes are fully, gently, and efficiently washed the first time. Prior to the start of a wash cycle, the Direct Inject wash system injects a highly concentrated dose of detergent into fabrics, working to penetrate stains and pre-treat soils. Only when the entire load has been treated with the concentrated cleaning lather does the wash cycle begin.
