The Whirlpool WTW8600YW 28" top load washer has several innovations to save on energy costs, conserve water, and keep your clothes looking new longer. The Clean Care cycle uses cold water to achieve warm-wash results. This protects your clothes from heat damage, and saves money on your utility bills.
With 4.6 cubic feet in capacity, you can wash up to 3 baskets of laundry in one load. The lid is made of see-through glass, so you can keep an eye on things without stopping the wash cycle. The lid's special hinge ensures a slow and quiet close every time.
This top load washer was built to be environmentally friendly. It is qualified as CEE Tier III by the Consortium for Energy Efficiency, which is their top rating for efficiency. The Eco Monitor helps you choose the most appropriate cycle for each load by displaying the overall eco-performance for each option. Choose from 13 wash cycles including the EcoBoost option which increases spin speed while reducing water temperature to reduce overall energy usage.
The Whirlpool WTW8600YW washing machine proves that you don't have to sacrifice quality in order to save on utility costs and help the environment.
