Is it time for a new washer? The Whirlpool 2-in-1 washer may just be the perfect addition to your laundry room. Read on for all the info you need about this fantastic appliance!

What exactly makes this washer 2-in-1?

A removable agitator! The Whirlpool 2 in 1 washer is an industry-first top load model that allows you to add or remove the agitator from the center of the wash basket. It's a simple switch, but it creates big versatility that will allow you to accommodate anything that laundry day may bring.

What's the difference between doing laundry with the agitator and without it?

The agitator delivers a stronger scrub for tougher cleaning power. When you do a wash with the agitator installed, its gyration against the clothing gives an extra dose of heavy-duty cleaning. If you're looking for a gentler cycle, or if you'd like to clean a large item that requires more space, removing the agitator will give you exactly that. You'll get the versatility you need to keep all of your machine-washables in top condition.

What kind of laundry gets the best results with the agitator?

The agitator is a good choice for washing thick, hefty fabrics like denim, terry cloth, or canvas. Another good use for an agitator wash is any type of heavily-soiled clothing articles. If your laundry loads frequently include work uniforms or sports gear that need a deep cleaning, call upon the agitator for the extra strength you need.

What type of laundry loads work best without the agitator?

Removing the agitator allows for a gentler cleanse, plus it frees up space for larger items. An agitator-free Whirlpool washer is ideal for washing anything requiring a "Delicate" cycle. This way, the clothes softly swirl against one another instead of against the agitator, making it much gentler on the fabrics. Removing the agitator also opens up the space inside the tub, making it great for washing larger items like blankets or curtains.

What else can the Whirlpool 2 in 1 washer do?

This model also includes a built-in water faucet for easy pre-washing of any stains that need a little extra attention. There's also a Deep Water Wash feature, which fills the washer's tub to the maximum level of water to give your laundry a deeper soak for a more thorough clean. (Please note the Bulky Items cycle is only available with the deepest water level.) If you're looking to bring home a higher-tech version of this washer, the Whirlpool 2 in 1 is available in a smart model! In addition to wifi control from your smartphone, the smart model also features intuitive touch controls, Load & Go automatic detergent dispensing, and an extra .5 cubic feet of wash space.
