The dryer listens. The result is better clothes care. Introducing the GE (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :GE) Profile Harmony(TM) Clothes Care System, the first washer that communicates electronically to the dryer, presetting dry cycles for better clothes care and increased time savings. Once the wash options are selected, there's no need to program the dryer. The washer delivers load information to the dryer so that once the dryer gets the message, it automatically determines which settings will deliver the best results. This innovative laundry pair will be available at the end of this month. "GE conducted research in consumers' homes over the last few years to learn how family laundry habits and clothing trends have changed," said Jennifer Mintman, general manager for GE clothes care. "These new discoveries were used to create the Harmony Clothes Care System, which is designed for today's lifestyles. Performance, clothes care, capacity, and water, energy and time savings were the top consumer cues. As a result, we developed a revolutionary new clothes care system that meets these needs like no other washer and dryer pair on the market." Harmony is the largest-capacity laundry pair available.

The timed dispensers are not only convenient, but provide optimum cleaning as well. Traditionally, the washer has been the primary driver when consumers make their purchasing decision on a laundry pair. But, through lifestyle and clothing care research, GE has found that the dryer is just as important as the washer and must provide great performance too!

Harmony's dryer is the fastest premium dryer you can buy. The DuoDry(TM) system quickly and consistently dries all types of clothes. The system uses two motors to maintain proper airflow and control tumbling action to ensure fast, even drying. Two electronic moisture sensors and two temperature sensors help prevent under or over drying. An extra low delicate temperature, which averages 125 degrees, protects fine hand washables. The dryer delivers outstanding performance whether the equivalent venting system is very short or 150 feet long. As people continue to move their laundry into living spaces of the home, appearance is more important than ever. Harmony's trend-setting design is elegant and unique. Its bold look takes washer and dryer design to a new level with curved, interchangeable control panels and state-of-the-art LCD touch screens. Also attention getting is the see-through glass dryer door. The GE Profile Harmony Clothes Care System comes in white or all-new dark platinum. The suggested retail price range of the laundry pair (washer model WPGT9350C and dryer model DPGT750EC or DPGT750GC) is $1,998 - $2,198.
