Everyday washing performance
The 8 kg capacity is well suited to routine household laundry, while the 1400 rpm maximum spin speed should help remove a useful amount of water before drying. MixLoad 69min is designed for daily mixed loads at 30°C, giving users a quicker alternative to longer general-purpose cycles.
The programme list covers common cotton and synthetic loads as well as Eco 40-60, a 20-minute cycle for smaller loads, and dedicated Wool, Delicates and Outdoor options. This gives the machine useful flexibility across different clothing types.
Steam refresh and fabric care
Steam Refresh is the standout feature. It is intended for garments that need freshening rather than a complete wash, using 2L of water per cycle and taking 25 minutes. The supplied information states that it can neutralise odours and reduce wrinkles, which may be useful for lightly worn clothing.
The Care drum is designed to provide a gentler laundry experience, while the Hygiene programme is stated to remove more than 99.99% of tested bacteria and viruses under the specified test conditions. These features make the machine appealing to households that place emphasis on clothing care and hygiene.
Efficiency and controls
ProSense+ adapts time, water and energy use to the weight of the laundry load. The available information states that smaller loads can use up to 40% less time, water and energy under the cited comparison, so the feature should be particularly useful when the drum is not full.
Push-button controls and a medium display provide a straightforward interface. Delay, Extra Rinse, Plus Steam, Stain/Prewash, temperature, spin and time-saving options give users additional control over individual cycles.
