Washing and drying performance
The 7kg wash capacity is practical for everyday laundry and should suit the needs of a medium-sized household. A maximum spin speed of 1400rpm can help remove excess water before drying, while the intensive cycle is intended for more stubborn stains.
The drying capacity is limited to 4kg, so the appliance is best used with appropriately sized wash loads or with part of a load removed before drying. Three drying programmes provide some choice, but this is not a model for routinely drying a full wash load in one go.
Programmes and convenience
The appliance provides 15 wash programmes and three drying programmes, giving users flexibility for different laundry requirements. Its LED electronic display and delay timer should make it straightforward to select and schedule cycles.
Automatic load balancing adjusts water use according to the weight of the load, while the dedicated cleaning programme is designed to help maintain the appliance. These features add useful day-to-day convenience without changing the appliance’s integrated format.
Installation, safety and efficiency
As a fully integrated 60cm washer dryer, this appliance is designed to sit behind a furniture door panel for a coordinated kitchen or utility-room appearance. Installation planning should therefore include a compatible panel and the necessary cabinet space.
The full anti-flood device and child lock are valuable safety features, particularly in busy family homes. The E energy rating is a notable compromise, however, so buyers focused on reducing energy use may prefer to compare more efficient alternatives.
