I would say consumer insight goes into the Whirlpool washer. We spend a lot of time finding out what's important to our consumers. So a cycle is not added to our machine simply because we can add it. We add it because the consumer has a need for it.

What we bring into our product development is a lot of pride. We love getting that acclaim, so we work heavily on energy efficiency, but never at the stake of performance.
