Front Load Washers and Front Control Dryers are Back
As you know, we are really happy that capacity has opened up enabling us to reintroduce the front load washers and dryers back into the product lineup. Pricing is available.
Models available:
Features to note:
- Front and rear control options
- Available in white and stainless steel
- Left hinge door
- Right hinge door available on rear control model only
Changes to note:
- Capacity has increased from 3.4 to 3.5. The tub size hasn’t changed but our capacity increased due to a change in our shipping bracket. The DOE does not remove the shipping bracket when calculating capacity.
- New Sanitize with Oxi Cycle
- This cycle is designed to remove bacteria found in home laundry when used with an Oxi additive and a minimum water temperature of 120°.
- New Allergy Cycle replaces the Third Rinse option
- When talking about this feature, it’s important to note that we should reference how the Allergy Rinse can help to eliminate allergens in clothing, but cannot guarantee that it eliminates allergens. More information will be coming in a separate Sales Tip.
- Second Rinse option is now called “Extra Rinse”.
- Added up and down selection arrows for more consumer friendly functionality.
