Here are 5 fantastic features to take note of on Front Load Laundry Pairs that you will make your life with laundry a little easier.

Smart Dispense: With a traditional top load washer upon each wash cycle you have to add detergent to the laundry load. Well that’s not the case with some of today’s Front Load washers. Simply pour your detergent into the detergent compartment of the washer and the washer handles the rest. For example, the Whirlpool Duet WFW97HEXL Front Load Washer boasts Precision Dispense Ultra technology which holds up to 36 loads of detergent without refilling. It will dispense the detergent automatically during the wash cycle at the optimal wash time.  Load the clothes, pick your cycle, and the rest is taken care of. No adding detergent, and no refilling necessary.
