Product Overview

The Whirlpool FWRB8012IW is an 8kg front load washing machine finished in white, built around Whirlpool's 6th Sense technology, which automatically detects the size of the load and fabric type to select the best washing cycle. TimeWash lets you adjust wash duration according to soil level, from a full cycle down to as fast as 35 minutes for lightly soiled clothes, while Quick Wash 15 handles small loads in just 15 minutes.

A Sense Inverter Motor drives the drum directly for long-lasting, quieter performance, supported by a 3D Sensor stabiliser system that helps minimise vibration and noise during the spin cycle. The Steam Refresh cycle deodorises and smooths clothes using less than two glasses of water in around 20 minutes, and antibacterial technology built into the door bellow and detergent box helps prevent up to 99% of bacteria and mould growth.

Whirlpool appliances are distributed in Australia by Arisit Pty Limited, and the FWRB8012IW carries a 2-year manufacturer's warranty. With a 4 Star energy rating and 4 Star water rating, it combines everyday convenience with efficient running costs.

Extra Information

The Sense Inverter Motor drives the drum directly rather than through a belt, reducing wear on moving parts and lowering operating noise over the life of the machine. This is paired with the 3D Sensor stabiliser system, which detects imbalance in the load and adjusts to minimise vibration during high-speed spin cycles.

Whirlpool appliances are distributed in Australia by Arisit Pty Limited, based in Dandenong South, Victoria. The FWRB8012IW's antibacterial technology is built into the door bellow and detergent box, helping to prevent the build-up of bacteria and mould in the areas of the machine most exposed to moisture between washes.
