The black Carisma styled 6th Sense washing machine features a big 9kg capacity, and offers an A-30% energy rating, A for wash performance, B for its 1400 rpm spin and comes with the benefit of Whirlpool’s renowned AquaSteam technology.

AquaSteam claims to make unique use of steam technology to enhance its functionality with efficiency, performance and ease of use. Steam improves wash performance keeping the temperature higher four times longer than in a conventional washing cycle, improves stain removal, sanitises garments and offers a ‘refresh’ for items needed quickly.

Whirlpool’s steam technology is controlled via the company’s unique 6th Sense technology. It automatically controls how much steam to inject and for how long according to the load size and the washing temperature. As the steam is added during the cycle, the wash still takes the same amount of time. This innovative next generation technology delivers 50% savings on water time and energy against a standard Whirlpool washing machine.

Steam also adds the tangible benefit of sanitisation. Steam is injected into the drum at the end of the wash cycle to produce an antibacterial finish to the garments, even when washed at low temperatures.

A steam-only cycle enables clothes to be refreshed in a rapid ten minute programme to remove odours. The new intuitive, touch sensor control panel with an LCD screen for user feedback makes it easy to use and incorporates a raft of lifestyle programmes for everyday living.

The new AquaSteam 9770B washing machine features innovative Carisma design – soft, fluid and curved styling with integrated plinth line, designed to fit with the modern open plan living spaces.
