Home & Garden V, Do-It- Yourself
LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With holiday festivities and family gatherings upon us, the laundry pile is sure to reach new heights. Thankfully, the new GE Profile™ SmartDispense™ Frontload Laundry Pair can handle your biggest loads ... while using "smart" technology to let you "set-it-and-forget-it" and get back to the festivities.
It's Almost as Easy as Sending Out the Laundry
Sleekly sculptured, GE Profile's elegantly designed new washer and dryer are positioned on exclusive SmartDispense pedestals that hide a remarkable secret: the system stores and automatically dispenses detergent and fabric softener based on each load's size, soil level, water hardness and fabric or cycle type. Never worry again about laundry's myriad variables and virtually eliminate messy detergent bottles from the laundry room.
Advanced Cleaning with the Most Comprehensive Stain Removal Systems Available1
Specialty clothing items--from hosiery and bras, to performance fabrics, to pet bedding and comforters--now have special cycles designed to provide the ideal combination of cleaning factors. Additionally, the washer features the most comprehensive stain removal system available: It treats more than 40 different combinations of stains and fabric types, including wine, grass, blood, chocolate, cooking oil, ink, mustard and more on a variety of materials.
The new H2ITION technology™ automatically senses the load and adds just the right amount of water to each load to help save time and money. The reversing wash action works with a gentle motion that belies its excellent cleaning ability, with a system that injects water into clothes to enhance cleaning power.
The 4.2-cubic-foot king-size-capacity tub provides room for:
The 1300-RPM spin speed removes more water so clothes dry quickly, while a scrolling control panel provides load details.
Talking Washer and Dryer
Now frontload has washers and dryers that "talk" to each other. CleanSpeak™ communication between the washer and dryer begins the drying process to eliminate guesswork about settings for the load. With its king-size capacity equal to handling the companion washer's load, the 7.5-cubic-foot dryer features reverse tumble action that keeps fabrics tangle-free and speeds up the drying process.
It also offers the exclusive DuoDry™ system with variable heater and dual motors, thermistors and moisture sensors to help clothes dry faster and more evenly.
The dryer is as flexible as the washer: An innovative baffle dry system features a built-in dryer shelf and hanging system that allows extra, no-tumble care for delicates, sweaters, shoes and other items. These innovations help reduce creasing and wrinkling.
Sports-Car Style, Compact-Car Efficiency
Only GE delivers these sleek, high-performance machines that combine superior convenience, luxury styling and incredibly efficient use of water and energy. Using as little as 10 gallons of water for a small load, the ENERGY STAR® qualified washer can save more than 5,800 gallons of water per year compared to a typical topload washer2. Advanced water extraction and the dryer's moisture sensors help reduce drying time for added energy savings.
