Hisense-WFQP9014EVM-Freestanding-9 KG-Front Load Washing Durable Inverter Machine-Steam Wash-Quick Wash-15 Washing Programs-1400 RPM-White-Energy Rating C

Excellent Quality quiet reliable excellent price for my needs would definitely buy again with its low energy consumption and Eco settings

So far so good, once balanced and padded into position it is quiet and efficient, with a good range of editable wash cycles and handy features like the "pause" function (so you can add a latecomer to the drum, which may result in less widowed socks kicking around hopefully) and the self cleaning steam cycle to eliminate the buildup of bacteria that is inevitable in a washing machine drum. Since we have two children, two cats and a dog and a back garden made currently of mud, having no washing machine for 3 days has led to a staggeringly large backlog, however this plucky little machine has taken the job on and has already dispatched most of the pile to the dryer (which is now the bottleneck and running 24hrs a day until we achieve "normal" laundry backlog levels, at which point I will ease up and run that decontamination protocol on the washing machine). It's surprising how much the drum actually holds, our last machine was bigger but finally after a long and faithful service life it died dramatically (the drum split and it was a write-off). However this machine does a better job and is much quieter.

Very nice machine. The key thing is that the machine offers the features of typical mid to high end Western brands - but at a price point that's much more reasonable. Makes me wonder what exactly we're paying for with the more traditional brands as they're produced in the same place as this machine anyway - China. Pros: - It's well featured - I've got everything I need without things I don't (like Wifi connectivity) - I can control temperature, spin cycles, set a custom delay, have access to all the programs I'd need, and the machine can be paused and the door unlocked + opened early in the cycle if you forget a sock, etc. - It weighs the washing when running some of the cycles (like the Eco 40 to 60 cycle) - which minimises electricity and water consumption when underloading - and also shortens the wash time. - It's quiet - a few people mention that it's extremely loud, which has not been my experience at all - I'd be surprised if that wasn't because they're forgotten to remove the four bolts holding the drum in place during shipping. - It's efficient. Doesn't cost much to run in terms of water or electricity. - The price is great. I got the 10 kg washer for £279. I'd expect to pay over £500 for a typical Western brand. Cons: - The machine lacks a boat / insert for the detergent drawer for liquid detergent so it just runs straight into the sump hose if you run the machine with a delay. However, this is easy to get around by putting a plastic wash ball containing the detergent in the drum on top of the washing. Strictly speaking this is meant to get better results than putting the detergent in the drawer anyway, although it won't be compatible with using pre-wash. - Documentation is not well written, with lots of English errors. The details for the different wash cycles are on a separate piece of paper which is easy to lose, and it's really tough to find the PDF version of the sheet as it's not on Hisense's website as it should be. - Spin performance isn't as good as competitors. Towels, heavy cotton etc comes out damper than other machines I've used. Certainly not sodden or soaked, but certainly damper than I'd like. But one can run another spin cycle. - Drum's a little smaller than one would expect for 10 kg. I believe this is a bigger problem for the smaller drums, like 7 or 8 kg. Worth going for a bigger drum. Can't say anything for long-term reliability of course, but it looks like most of the parts internally are separate rather than some manufacturer's approach of 'everything is in in the drum assembly so you're better off buying a new washing machine than repairing' con. If it was more expensive, it would be 4/5 stars. But for the price I bought it for, definitely 5/5.

2 month updated review: It's still perfectly functional and I'm more than pleased with it. I love it. The steam function has come in useful after my cat decided to urinate on clean laundry. The drum is so big, I have managed to wash my superking duvet and put it away for the summer. Excellent product. Original review: Generally very pleased. I have an issue with the legs not moving up and down, but it doesn't affect performance at all. A good sized drum. Very quiet. Washes well. I enjoy the steam washes. I had an item which was always a bit fusty even after washing but this machine got it totally clean. It's pleasant to look at and pretty well built.

I wanted to wait until I’ve owned this product long enough to give a fair review. I’m extremely pleased with it! The spin cycle is nice and quiet, the door although lightweight and easy to open/close feels robust. There are lots of wash cycles to choose from but in all honesty some will never be used. I agree with other reviewers though on the lack of a fast but proper wash cycle. However, the machine does weigh the load and will reduce wash time if appropriate. There is a 15 min cycle but I’d have liked a slightly longer one for a small load rather than a couple of items. Overall for the price it’s a great machine.

I've had this machine a few weeks now and although I was disappointed with it on the first few washes, I delayed a detailed verdict until I'd made more use of it. Unfortunately, it hasn't changed my mind in that time. It was bought because my ten-year-old, very basic, department store own-brand machine had died a noisy death with the smell of burning rubber and I needed something delivered and fitted fast. The Hisense came up first on my search, and I reasoned that if I regretted it later, I hadn't blown a huge sum on it and I could replace it with slightly less pain. And that's where I am now. If there's some magic setting I'm overlooking, let me know. I'm really hoping there is. Basically, there are too many things it doesn't do, or does poorly, that my old wreck coped with just fine. Cons: * Programs: the main ones take two to three hours with no way to reduce time, and there's too little choice of settings. If you want a 35 - 40 minute wash at 60C, you're out of luck. (This has a knock-on effect I'll mention later.) * The 1400 spin speed: fleeces came out of my old machine almost dry after a 1400 spin. With this Hisense, they're still noticeably wet. I always did an extra spin anyway because I don't have outside drying space, but I find I need two extra spins with this to get the same result. * Unhelpful instruction leaflet: I had to trust online videos and reviews on other sites to find some basic information. * Small but annoying stuff: if you have a dark grey dial, putting a dark grey indicator on it might look cool and minimalist but it doesn't help people to see it easily to select the right program, which is the sole reason for the indicator being there. I stuck a bit of white adhesive label on it. * Draining the filter: there's no tube or chute to drain into a container like there is with other machines, so you just have to unscrew the plug with a towel underneath, unless you have enough clearance to slide in a tray or something. This is bad design. Even my old one had a piece of moulded plastic behind the drain door that hinged out to form a chute so you could direct the water into a container. * The detergent drawer: if you use powder, the compartment is narrower than most of the laundry scoops you can get, so adding powder without some spillage is a pain. I ended up getting a small 5 gram measure on a long handle, which takes a bit longer to achieve the right dose but is easier to aim. Pros: well, it looks nice and it's very quiet. It's also cheap, and at the time it beat taking the laundry down to the canal and bashing it on rocks. But here's why I hate the thing. My old machine had a similar number of programs, but on the main wash ones I could set the temperature at 20C, 30C, 40C, 60C, and (on cotton) 90C. I could also reduce the run time from hours to half an hour. I have nothing like that choice with the Hisense, but eventually I realised I could select the quick wash for everything and force a longer run time on it by increasing the temperature – 40C will make it do 30 minutes. But 60C is beyond it. Sixty is the temperature you need to kill germs, and the one I used most, but it's going to take a couple of hours at least with this, whereas my old machine could reduce it to under 40 minutes. (The dark wash program can do 60C in just over an hour, but I haven't used it yet because I'm still trying to find out what the difference is between that and other regular wash programs.) The longer the wash takes, the later I can start drying it, and if you've got a tight schedule it's enough to be a problem rather than a problem-solver. This is what I mean by knock-on effects. Juggling through non-intuitive settings to achieve what very basic washers could do a decade ago hasn't endeared the brand to me. Why not sacrifice one of the steam programs for a more flexible basic wash?

The Hisense washing machine has delivered a solid performance at a affordable price point. It has a clean, modern design with practical layout. It feels sturdy for everyday use. It offers a wide range of programmes including quick washes and eco modes for energy savings. Cleaning results are good. It is relatively quiet and efficient and was easy to install. .

Fabulous washing machine at a great price

Sono soddisfatto (la uso da poco) delle funzioni, della facilità d'uso, della compattezza e stabilità! La centrifuga è piuttosto veloce e silenziosa, per chi cerca una lavatrice slim con un carico decente questa la consiglio vivamente! Arrivata consegnata con cura e perfetta!

The machine looks modern and works great. Many programs, easy to set up, and not too noisy. Excellent choice for everyday use.

machine à laver endommagée à la livraison , coté latéral enfoncé certainement par le tambour et façade avant décalée par rapport aux autres éléments de la machine.

Wir haben die Waschmaschine jetzt über ein Jahr und sie verrichtet täglich ihren Dienst. Bisher hatten wir keine Probleme. Nachträglich hätte ich mir noch einen WLAN-Funktion gewünscht.

Lavatrice bellissima !!! Non solo esteticamente, ma sopratutto come fa il suo lavoro , super silenciosa , capiente , con vari programmi …. Sono veramente soddisfatta, per non parlare della consegna , sono stati super veloci ! Unica pecca che avevo chiesto con ritiro del vecchio ed installazione del nuovo , ma non l’hanno fatto … per il resto tutto ok , la super consiglio !
