The Whirlpool 8.5kg Top Load Washing Machine boasts six programs and multiple wash options. You can customise your wash or choose from the Normal, Delicate, Heavy Duty, Blanket or Wool functions. Among the wash options you can also tailor the spin speed, foam control and balance control. If you want to delay the start, wash only using cold water or skip the spin cycle, that isn’t a problem either. Equipped with a fuzzy logic function, the machine automatically chooses certain wash cycle processes for the Normal, Heavy Duty, Custom and Wool programs. When you run the Normal, Custom or Heavy Duty programs, the machine memorises your settings for the next time you select it. With the child lock activated, the machine will stop working automatically and sound an alarm if the washer lid is opened for four seconds - keeping your kids safe and your washing machine in check.
