Washing performance and capacity
The 8kg drum provides useful capacity for everyday household laundry, while the 1600rpm maximum spin speed should help remove moisture before drying. ProSense® is designed to weigh each load and adjust the cycle time, water and energy use, which is particularly useful when washing smaller loads.
The programme range is broad for an integrated machine. Cottons, synthetics, delicates, wool and silk are joined by dedicated duvet, denim, sport, outdoor and hygiene programmes, giving buyers more tailored options than a basic everyday washer.
Steam care and convenience
Steam Refresh is the standout feature. The supplied product information describes a 25-minute cycle that uses 2 litres of water to freshen suitable garments, neutralise odours and reduce wrinkles without running a full wash. PlusSteam can also add a burst of steam at the end of a compatible wash cycle.
Convenience features include a 20-minute programme for loads up to 3kg, TimeSave Plus, delayed start, extra rinse, prewash, stain treatment and EasyIron. These options should make it easier to adapt cycles to time pressure, fabric type and laundry condition.
Efficiency, hygiene and installation considerations
The B energy rating, load-sensing technology and low-water Steam Refresh cycle give the appliance a useful efficiency focus. The stated reductions for smaller loads are based on the supplied product information, so actual consumption will vary with programme, load size and settings.
The Hygiene programme is intended for thorough laundry care, with the supplied information stating that it maintains temperatures above 60°C and reduces bacteria, viruses and allergens. As an integrated appliance, it is designed to sit neatly within fitted kitchen furniture, but dimensions and detailed installation requirements are not supplied here.
