Features
  • FreshFlow Vent System

    The FreshFlow Vent System is a trio of freshness features that helps keep your clothes and washer fresh. It's the first fan-powered system with the FanFresh Option, Dry Drum Cycle, and Antimicrobial Gasket.

  • Dry Drum Cycle

    After you take the clothes out, close your washer door and select the Dry Drum Cycle. A powerful fan reduces excess moisture from the drum, rubber gasket and door.

  • FanFresh Option

    Keep your clothes fresh in the washer after a cycle. The FanFresh Option uses a built-in fan and periodic tumbling to keep your just-washed clothes fresh until they're ready for the dryer, using less energy than you would re-washing your clothes.

  • Antimicrobial Protection

    Antimicrobial protection on the rubber seal helps keep your washer fresh by preventing the growth of odor-causing bacteria and mold.

  • AI Intelligent Wash

    Simplify your laundry routine with intelligent wash technology. It uses sensors to detect load size and fabric type, then automatically adjusts water levels, temperature, and wash actions for ideal fabric care and efficient cleaning performance.

    Smart and Fresh

    I bought the Whirlpool 5.0 Cu.ft. High Efficiency Smart Load Washer with FreshFlow Vent System from Best Buy, and it’s been an excellent purchase! The large capacity is perfect for my household, and it cleans clothes thoroughly while being energy efficient. The smart features make laundry so much easier — I can control everything from my phone. Plus, the FreshFlow vent system keeps it smelling fresh, even between washes. Super quiet, sleek design, and overall a fantastic buy. Highly recommend!

    I’m in love!

    Im so glad i went with the Whirlpool models instead of replacing my old Electrolux with another one. I had Mould in my last Electrolux washer and really didn’t want to purchase another because of that reason somehow even though I dried the inside gasket it still develop mold after about five years. And that is one of the best features of my new Whirlpool washing machine… It has a wonderful gasket material that will not develop mold plus it has a cycle called “dry drum”and it actually will spin after you’re finished with your clothes and what it dries out the rest of the inside. I’ve had my new washer & dryer for over 6 mos now & cant say enough wonderful things about them. I highly recommend them….you will not be sorry if you purchase these. I have no complaints or issues … completely satisfied with the performance.

    Works well for the price

    Needed to replace my old whirlpool and this is the comparable model. Soap tray is a cheap feeling plastic but no issues. Matches old pedestal perfectly. Quite and fast

    Quiet and Efficient!

    I have been quite pleased with the performance of our new washer. It is extremely quiet, and I can tell by observation that it is attempting to optimize the way that the device performs in order to save power. In other words, it changes the way it functions depending on the conditions. My only criticism is that I encountered an issue where the washer would not drain all the water and it took multiple "Drain and Spin" cycles to empty. The washed item was quite bulky. Eventually, I just removed the item and manually wrung it out in order to remove all the water. Other than that, it's been a problem free experience.

    Whirlpool front load washer

    I had an old whirlpool top load washer and it didn’t wash the clothes correctly. It wouldn’t even finish the cycle on its own I had to manually move the nob to the rinse and press start for it to finish the cycle. This washer is so amazing!! It’s been two weeks and I love it so much what a big difference. My husband works in construction and his clothes are so dirty filled in dirt and the washer completely washes them perfectly with no stains!
