Why choose FWDD117168SBS for your laundry

Whirlpool FWDD117168SBS is an all-in-one solution when you need serious capacity but don’t have space for separate machines. 6TH SENSE sensors constantly monitor the load to adjust water, time and temperature, helping you save resources while keeping fabrics protected – from everyday cottons to delicates and wool.

• Huge 11+7 kg capacity – perfect for families, shared apartments or heavy laundry users.
• 6TH SENSE technology detects load size and moisture for optimised washing and drying.
• FreshCare+ gently tumbles and steams laundry, keeping it soft and fresh for hours if you can’t unload straight away.
• 1600 rpm spin extracts more water, cutting drying time and energy use.
• 1 kg in 45 minutes – Wash&Dry 45’ refreshes a small outfit in under an hour.
• Made in Italy with a robust cabinet and practical 60 cm footprint for standard niches.
