Among the smart appliances signed by Whirlpool, the Smart Capable Top Load Washer stands out for its many innovative solution aim at simplifying the ordinary washing operations. This model allows user to skip adding detergent to every load with the Load & Go™ dispenser; presoak, scrub and wash in one spot with a built-in, dual temperature faucet and pretreat brush and create customized cycles in a few touches and managing laundry from smartphone to stay connected from anywhere.

The creation of smart appliances also responds to the conviction of Whirlpool that it is also a way to encourage kids to help parents in household chores, without considering them a heavy and boring thing. Knowing that kitchen and laundry appliances are often at the center of household chores, Whirlpool continues its nearly decade-long research to explore and demonstrate how acts of care like cooking, cleaning and washing can set children up for long-term success. To study this connection further, Whirlpool brand collaborated with developmental psychologist and child development expert Richard Rende, Ph.D. The outcome reveals there are social, emotional and cognitive benefits of chores for kids throughout developmental stages, providing an opportunity for parents to consider the positive role that chores can play in their child’s development.
«I think we can all relate to the idea that chores have a bit of an image problem, – said Chelsey Whitehead, senior brand manager, Whirlpool brand -. At Whirlpool, we have a lot of heart for inspiring parents to view chores as a springboard to some really positive outcomes for their children. With this in mind, we design our products to help parents embrace the role that chores can play, with innovative features that make delegation to children fun, educational and collaborative.»
