The new washer and dryer feature Spanish-language panels to make laundry more efficient for millions of Spanish-speaking families
GE Appliances’ all-new, first-of-its-kind 4.5 cu. ft. capacity washer designed for Hispanic consumers in the U.S. is now available, reinforcing GE Appliances’ commitment to creating laundry solutions for all. The new washer utilizes a Spanish-language control panel and custom features that reflect popular Hispanic consumer preferences.
“GE Appliances has long delivered meaningful household solutions and our first Spanish-language washer furthers that goal,” said David Wilson, senior commercial director of clothes care at GE Appliances. “As technology is changing, so is the demographic makeup of America’s households, and this specially designed laundry solution represents our commitment to delivering products for all and taking into account what matters most to Hispanic customers.”
With Hispanics in the U.S. predicted to account for 70% of new homeowners over the next 20 years, GE Appliances is bringing meaningful household solutions to the forefront for this growing U.S. demographic that had been widely underserved, until now. The machine boasts a 4.5 cu. ft. capacity that allows for washing more clothes in fewer loads, ideal for multigenerational families who account for nearly one-third of all U.S. Hispanic households.
GE Appliances tailored the washer and complementary dryer to account for specific laundry preferences that are popular for many Hispanic consumers who take extra care of preserving their garments by carefully pre-treating and addressing tough spots and stubborn stains before they even go in the wash.
The new washer, for example, includes a custom “Añadir Remojo” setting that adds 20 minutes of soaking to any cycle and features a “Más Intenso” setting for soiled items that combines soaking with additional agitation. Additionally, the new washer addresses other common laundry day pain points for many Hispanic households so they can get the most out of their appliance while taking care of their laundry. For example:
“Eco Frío” setting reduces energy usage without sacrificing a great clean, giving peace of mind to those who are conscious about their environmental footprint and utility bills. “Eco Frío” adjusts wash time and agitation to still achieve a deep clean without hot water while saving up to 90% on energy costs3.
The “Nivel de Agua” control allows users to manually add up to 26 gallons of water for maximum flexibility or let the washer optimize automatically for the most efficient wash on any cycle.
GE Appliances laundry products are also backed by a 10-year limited warranty on the motor, offering long-lasting performance and peace of mind.
The new GE 4.5 cu. ft. Capacity Washer with Spanish-Language Panel and accompanying Spanish-Language Panel dryer are available now for an MSRP of $799 each.
