Do you love or loathe laundry?
Me? I love doing laundry. Seriously, I do.
How my love began…
First Love: I began doing my own laundry around age 11, I was in middle school. This chore started because of the mere fact that if I didn’t do it, nobody else was going to!! And frankly, I couldn’t be shamed at school in dirty clothes! So I tested the waters!
Growing Love: In college was when I really began to like laundry! I moved out of my parents house and had more responsibility than ever. I enjoyed the satisfaction of dirty clothes going in, then clean and fresh-smelling clothes coming out! I even looked forward to my conversations with fellow classmates at our communal dorm laundry facility. 😉 Doing laundry was no longer a chore, it was an activity.
Never-Ending Love: Before my husband and I got married we made a list of chores each of us promised to do around the house. (This pre-marriage list was recommended to us by books and other married couples. When you decide on who does what for chores, there is never any question. No fighting about chores! It is proven that splitting chores evenly will keep couples happy.)
Anyway, my first chore of choice was laundry (vacuuming my number two). I chose this because laundry was my favorite. I felt lucky that I married a man that didn’t want to do the laundry, actually he’d rather dust! Hallelujah I married smart!
True Love: Most recently, I was chosen to review the Whirlpool Duet Washer and Dryer, (I was ecstatic – check out my first Whirlpool post). Since receiving this washer and dryer set, I can tell you it is nothing but true love. The set makes doing laundry easier than ever! The process is streamlined and the machines are magic.
I literally went from having to do laundry as a necessity, to enjoying doing loads with my Whirlpool Duet so much that I sometimes wish there was one more load to do!
I made a video showing my love! It is a fairly short (11 minutes) so check it out!
Pretty quick overview, right? I will talk in more detail about the features in future posts! 😉
I just wanted to point out the TOP 5 REASONS I LOVE WHIRLPOOL DUET:
1. Precision Dispense – This gadget delivers better results by determining the right amount of detergent for each load. It uses a removable container that can hold enough detergent for up to 36 loads of laundry – and you only have to fill once! After putting in your settings, it does the all the work in dispensing for you!!
2. Wrinkle Guard Setting – If I am not available to get my load from the dryer, I don’t have to worry about wrinkles with the wrinkle guard setting! I used this setting, and came back 20 minutes after my load was through and no wrinkles!!
3. FanFresh™ option – This option circulates air and tumbles the wash load for up to 16 hours after the cycle’s end. It will remove moisture from the load and it can also dry a small load in the washer! This feature is great for avoiding odor of the clothes that sit in the machine when you can’t get the load out right away!
4. Ecoboost Setting – This setting adds additional energy saving benefits! It reduces hot water usage and maintains cleaning performance by lengthening the wash time on some of the cycles. It is great if I am not in a hurry to get the load done!
5. LCD Display Screen – Last but not least, this widescreen is a major part of the machine! It is full color and has options and buttons galore! It tells me EVERYTHING about the cycle details. It allows me to change the details easily and gives me lots of additional information! (Plus, it sings too!)
Ok, there you have it. Love, true love.
I can’t be the only one out there that doesn’t dread doing laundry, can I? Someone else loves washing, transferring, drying, folding and hanging just like I do, right?
If not, maybe you should consider a new machine, like the Whirlpool Duet Washer and Dryer!
Disclosure: I wrote this review while participating in a test-drive campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Whirlpool and received a complimentary Whirlpool Duet washer and dryer to facilitate my review.
