Hi. My name's Shawn Ashby. I'm a new product brand manager here at Whirlpool Corporation.
One of the growing trends we continue to see is the desire for a connected experience in the home. We know about 70% of homebuyers are looking for that connected experience. And at Whirlpool Corporation, we want to make sure that we can deliver that, both in the kitchen and in the laundry space.
So today I'm here next to the Maytag® front load set that has a full connected experience. From your smartphone or your smart device, you'd be able to see when the washer's done and those clothes are ready to transfer to the dryer. You'll be able to see when the dryer is done to know when those clothes are ready to be folded.
Those same experiences that you get on this Maytag® front load you're going to be able to find on top load sets as well, like this Whirlpool® WTW8127. Again a different configuration in the top load space, but we are going to be able to deliver that same connected experience with both front load and top load laundry.
