If you’re a sock loser Laundry daya new feature built into the latest Whirlpool washing machine, which was unveiled on KBIS 2026aims to solve the age-old problem.
Losing socks is so universal that people… Share tips for saving socks connected. But those days when you were stuck with just one sock in a pile of clean laundry behind you may be coming to an end.
Serial sock losers will appreciate Whirlpool’s industry-first delicacy basket.
The new Whirlpool top-loading washing machine features a delicate basket that sits in the middle of your washer, protecting sweaters and other delicate items from the harsh beating of a standard load of laundry. In addition to keeping delicate foods safe and secure, the basket is designed to hold socks in one place so you can easily match them when it’s time to fold them.
The basket can be removed to retrieve your delicate clothes or left for laundry that does not require it.
I have seen the device that will be released soon in KBIS in Orlando. A few weeks ago, I had ruined one of my favorite jackets by washing it in the washing machine, so I liked this feature. The idea is simple and very clever, but this appears to be the first washing machine to incorporate it.
Although we haven’t gotten to see the machine in action yet (it’s only on display), a Whirlpool representative told me that clothes placed in the center basket stay there throughout the cycle, thanks to its distinct water flow patterns.
The basket can be easily removed with a light squeeze of the handles, so you can take out delicate clothes and socks. You can also leave the basket out if it is not needed for a particular wash cycle.
Pricing was not available, but the washer is scheduled to launch at national retailers in September of this year.
