Hot on my list of cool things is the latest innovation from Whirlpool. While not quite in stores yet, if you are in the market for a new dryer or washer and dryer duo, these innovative stackable units deliver some cutting edge technology.. one might call it even steamy!

The new Duet steam dryer delivers steam technology that relaxes wrinkles and removes odors right inside the dryer. It uses a gentle, yet powerful combination of mist and heat in the dryer, allowing the garment to be dry, refreshed and ready-to-wear as soon as the cycle is finished. Think about this? No more last minute ironing! No more running clothing to the dry cleaners for pressing!! SAVE $$$

The Duet steam dryer uses a water line from the washer to spray a fine mist on clothes. The water vapor gently penetrates fabrics to lift odors and relax wrinkles while drying.

For clothes that just need a quick freshening, the Quick Refresh cycle relaxes wrinkles and removes odors in about 15 minutes. For those that "over dry" or leave clothes left in the dryer too long after the cycle was finished, the Duet steam dryer features an Enhanced Touch-Up cycle which relaxes the wrinkles in 20 minutes.

Here's a bonus feature that I love love love: Duet steam dryer's AccelerCare™ drying system which minimizes drying time so that dry time equals wash time. Once you start the dryer and the washer at the same time, they will finish at the SAME TIME!!

Whirlpool has updated, intuitive controls that feature pre-programmed cycles and option settings for effortless cycle selection - so you can load & go.
