Accelerated Pace of Innovation
Innovation began shaping the culture of Whirlpool Corporation with the invention of the first electric wringer washing machine in 1911. Today, we continue to improve life at home with revolutionary products like our industry-first washer with the 2-in-1 Removable Agitator, end-to-end consumer experiences and emerging ecosystems for the home. Our investments in people, technology and growth are not only evidenced in the design and delivery of our products and consumer-relevant innovation, but also demonstrated in our approach to manufacturing.
Top Load Washer Innovation
Industry-First 2-in-1 Removable Agitator
The award-winning, smart top load washer with the 2-in-1 Removable Agitator revolutionized consumers’ ability to customize laundry loads with a removable agitator post, freeing space for bigger or bulkier loads of laundry. This innovation was leveraged on two different launches in both premium and mass categories in North America, and was recognized by Popular Science as one of the Top 100 “Best of What’s New” innovations in 2021. Its extensive IP strategy helps protect this and future evolutions of our products.
