As the world’s leading brand of household appliances, Whirlpool offers more than just attractive, functional and easy-to-use appliances – a guaranteed resource saving of up to 50% on selected models is what makes Whirlpool one of the most environmentally friendly brands today.
Whirlpool has many technological innovations under its belt, one of which is the unique 6th Sense technology. The 6th Sense technology affords the appliance the opportunity to sense, adapt and control its functions, resulting in a saving of up to 50% on time, water and energy. Over and above the 6th Sense savings, Whirlpool has introduced steam not only in the washing machine but in the dishwasher too – a first for the South African market. Using the power of steam, clothing and dishes are sanitized while experiencing the best possible wash ever.
Not only is Whirlpool’s refrigeration range available in Stainless Steel, but also carries an energy efficiency rating of A or A+. What does this mean for you as the consumer? A+ fridges use up to 25% less energy versus A-rated models and A class fridges use up to 10% less energy versus B-rated units. This results in a genuine electricity cost saving. In a time of cost-cutting and environmental awareness, we ask: what rating are you?
