"Is Doing Laundry REALLY This Easy?"

This is the question you will probably say out loud after using this "state-of-the-art" new technology from GE. You know, we've come a long way from the wheel, the light bulb, the first phone, and now the automatic floor vacuuming robot. But why stop there? Why not go further? That's GE's mentality. "Let's see how we can go WAY beyond anyone's imagination while making it so simple". If I worked for GE, this is what I'd say...indefinitely....hence their slogan 'imagination at work'.

But what makes this so simple and yet so huge? Well, it's simple. GE a few years ago came up with this technology that revolutionized how we wash dishes. They added a reservoir inside the dishwasher and made it so the user can simply dump their entire bottle of dishwashing liquid into it. "Why would you want to do that?", you say? Easy. You never need to fill it again.....or at least until that batch dries up! It automatically dispenses the right amount of detergent for whatever wash cycle you choose. Simple right? (I should have entitled the blog "Simple"...and left it at that)

So now we have this technology that makes it easier for us, the consumer, to wash dishes and not have to worry about over or under-filling the soap. But let's not just keep it at dishwashers. What if people REALLY liked washing dishes by hand? Or maybe you don't have the space for a dishwasher, I don't know. Either way, the idea is there on the table and it's begging to be used for other things.

Enter the self dispensing washing machine. Why not, right? Personally I think this is THE best idea ever thought of and made into a reality. A press release from geappliances.com states this:

"With the GE Profile™ SmartDispense Frontload Laundry Pair, you can take a step out of the captain's seat and let the washer and dryer fly through your loads. Without having to guess how much detergent or fabric softener to use, or having to worry about selecting the right cycle for special fabrics, or having to closely monitor the dryer, you might actually consider laundry day a first-class experience"

They go on to say,

"...GE Profile's elegantly designed new washer and dryer are positioned on exclusive SmartDispense pedestals that hide a remarkable secret: the system stores and automatically dispenses detergent and fabric softener based on each load's size, soil level, water hardness and fabric or cycle type..."

But how does this technology work exactly? Well, instead of using the washer as a dispenser, GE has created a pedestal that doubles as the dispensing These dispensers hold up to a 6 months supply of detergent (on average...depending on load size, etc.) and holds up to 95 ounces of fabric softener. So now you have a washer that steams you clothes and automatically dispenses detergent and softener. Take that, whoever invented the wheel...

The pedestals are offered in Crimson Red or White, and the Washer and Dryer are available in those colors as well (washer in Crimson/White). 1 dispensing pedestal and 1 pedestal drawer will complete a washer and dryer package.


Take Care,
