Whirlpool is an American home appliances brand that has been a top brand in India for the last two decades. As a brand they do not shy away from introducing new and advanced innovations into their products. The 360°Bloomwash range of washing machines is the company’s latest offering in the Premier Top Load Washing Machine Segment. Whirlpool also understands that a modern appliance needs to combine form with functionality. The 360° Bloomwash series of washing machines come with a number of aesthetically pleasing features such as an edge to edge designed and a soft close lid with a chrome lid handle.The 360° Bloomwash Pro range of washing machines come with a host of features. These features include: –
IN-BUILT HEATER: – The 360° Bloomwash Pro HS features an in-built heater which Whirlpool says can automatically sense the load and heat the water up to 60°C. This results in a 99.9% germ and allergen free wash while also removing pollutants
360° SPRAY: – The 360° Bloomwash Pro HS comes with a 360° spray system, which uses 30% less water, while enhancing performance.
HEXA BLOOM IMPELLER: – Under the hood is the newly designed Hexa Bloom Impeller, which features six vanes and washes clothes in a technique the company calls the 360° Blooming Wash Motion. This makes clothes rub against each other, which is said to offer better cleaning results, while minimizing fabric abrasion.
HOT CATALYTIC SOAK: – The Hot Catalytic Soak feature soaks clothes in hot concentrated detergent water. This helps to loosen dirt before agitation can begin.
POWER DRY: – The Hot Finish feature uses warm water during the last rinse cycle. This leaves a warm and fresh feel to the clothes. After this, the Power Dry feature uses four unique levels of drying depending on the different types of clothes.
AUTOMATIC SOFTENER DISPENSER: – The Automatic Softener Dispenser automatically dispenses softener from the dispensing chamber at the beginning of the cycle.
10 YEAR WARRANTY: – The 360° Bloomwash Pro HS also comes with a 3 year comprehensive warranty and a 10 year warranty on motor and prime mover. This is an indication of how confident Whirlpool is about the quality of its new washing machine.
The most popular 7.5 Kg variant in this series is priced fairly competitively at around Rs 30,000 with the smaller ones being cheaper. This makes it one of the best machines in the market and certainly the best machine under Rs 30,000 in terms of features and performance. However, there have been many recent complaints of bad customer service and this could ruin the product as a whole since there has been quite a high number of complaints.
