After pressing pause during pregnancy and newborn life, today feels especially full-circle because we are back—and we’re talking about a space I’ve lovingly poured myself into over the past year: our dream cottage-inspired laundry room. Last year, at just eight weeks pregnant, I transformed this tiny dungeon-like corner of our home into a bright, warm, utterly joyful space… and now, with the addition of our new Whirlpool washer and dryer, it feels like the laundry room I always dreamed of.

And honestly? It has made my life as a new mom so much easier.

Today’s post is a full review of the Whirlpool washer and dryer we’ve been using for the past few months. This isn’t just specs and features, this is how it’s genuinely helped our rhythm as a family, supported the chaos of new parenthood, and even helped me romanticize the most everyday chore.

The Laundry Room Glow-Up

When I redesigned this room last year, my goal was simple:
Create a space that makes the everyday feel beautiful.

Soft colours, a big functional countertop, baskets, candles, artwork, jars and all the little touches that make doing laundry feel… dare I say… cozy?

Whirlpool has made that feeling even stronger this past month with these new machines. These machines don’t just look beautiful they work with the way our days actually flow. And with a baby, a dog, a creator’s wardrobe, and two adults in the mix, that rhythm changes hourly.

Their tech-forward features (like notifications when a cycle finishes) make it feel like I suddenly have a built-in assistant in my home. A HUGE upgrade from the ones (from a different brand) we had before that never quite seemed to get the job done to be honest.

My Whirlpool Washer Review

The first thing I noticed about this washer is the capacity. It fits our towels, bedding, baby clothes, and my content-creation wardrobe swaps all in one go.

But the feature that has become my personal obsession?

FreshFlow™ Vent System

As someone juggling a baby, a business, and a household, I cannot tell you the number of times I’ve forgotten a load in the washer. Normally that means rewashing—more water, more time, and honestly, more mental load.

FreshFlow™ keeps the inside of the washer fresh between cycles, so clothes don’t get that “left too long” smell. It is such a relief not to be punished for mom-brain.

You also get:

• Large Capacity for bedding + towels
• Delicate Cycles that I rely on daily for August’s clothes
• Antimicrobial Gasket + Dry Drum to help reduce moisture buildup
• 2-in-1 Removable Agitator if you want to adjust how your clothes move through the wash (great for delicates or bulky loads)

In short: it thinks about the things you don’t have time to think about. It’s funny how in life you can often get used to something not working quite right, that when you finally do have the right replacement life just feels oh so wonderful! That “how did we not do this sooner?” feeling.

My Whirlpool Dryer Review

This dryer is where the magic really happens for me. Because—confession—I love crisp sheets.

Like hotel-level crisp.

But I absolutely do not have the time to iron my bedding as a new mom.

Enter:

Steam Refresh Cycle

This is my favourite setting. I toss in sheets or linen shirts, press Steam Refresh, and in minutes everything looks smoothed out, revived, and ready.

It also shines during:

• Seasonal wardrobe switchovers (a quick refresh before hanging spring linens or white shirts)
• Daily life with a baby (especially if something gets wrinkled after a last-minute outfit change)
• Hosting days (fresh tea towels, tablecloths and bedding, ready in minutes)

Other features I rely on:

• Quick Dry Cycle — my go-to for bib emergencies
• Advanced Moisture Sensing — helps prevent overdrying
• Wrinkle Shield™ with steam — lifesaver when you don’t get to the dryer right away

It genuinely feels like having a second set of hands helping reset your wardrobe and home. And the major factor is taking all of this mental load off me because I already have enough on my plate!

How These Appliances Support Life as a New Parent

Laundry day is every day with a baby—sometimes twice a day (teething has officially begun).

The Whirlpool pair has been a lifesaver because:

• The washer handles delicate baby items and big family loads (because we often leave ours to the last minute, not going to lie)
• The FreshFlow™ Vent System means no re-washing if I forget a load
• Quick Dry helps with bibs, onesies, towels, and emergency outfit changes
• Notifications on my phone tell me exactly when cycles are done
• The steam refresh saves precious time during nap windows
• Everything feels smoother, calmer, and more manageable

It’s almost like the appliances adapt to the rhythm of our days—not the other way around.

A Fashion-Girly’s Dream

As someone who:

• styles outfits weekly
• films fashion content
• rotates seasonal wardrobes
• lives in linen in the summer
• and loves crisp bedding… (as mentioned)

…this dryer has truly won my heart.

The Steam Refresh Cycle makes clothing (and bedding!) look presentable with almost no effort. For content days, it’s perfect. For daily life? Even better. Sunday’s hold my bedding refresh ritual now and I love it!

Plus, Whirlpool’s Advanced Moisture Sensing protects fabrics long-term, which means my wardrobe lasts longer and looks better.

Final Thoughts

If you’re a parent, a fashion lover, a creator, or simply a homebody who loves a good routine, this Whirlpool washer and dryer make the everyday feel less like a chore and more like a moment of ease.

They’re intuitive, quiet, genuinely beautiful in the room, and packed with thoughtful features that support real life. And in a season where time feels scarce, that means everything.

Whirlpool has truly made our everyday laundry effortless.

Wishing you lots of love & lovely loads of laundry, Amanda

Thank you to Whirlpool for the beautiful machines. They have been an incredible addition to our family and house!
