Another benefit is greater washing and drying capacities. If you’re a family of four living in a small flat with no means of drying clothes outdoors, a high-capacity model will be a godsend. Even if you do have outdoor space, remember that outdoor drying is anything but practical during the long winter months, while hanging a load of damp clothing in the bathroom will take ages to dry and lead to condensation on the walls and windows. I started off using the Hisense WD5S1045BW on its Cotton cycle, setting the temperature to 30°C. Here, I found that the cycle would cost around 44p, which is a little more expensive than the same wash on the Hotpoint ActiveCare NDD8636DAUK, although still relatively cheap.

Remember that a washer dryer is a more complicated bit of machinery than a dedicated washer or dryer – and, if it does break down, both washing and drying will be out of the question until you get it fixed. Its efficiency is no-doubt boosted by its low-energy method of tumble drying clothes. Heat-pump drying is rarely seen in washer dryers, which usually dry using condenser drying; but while here it will save energy use and be kinder to your clothes, it’s often slower too. Whether you regularly find yourself scrubbing away at grass and mud stains that haven't vanished in the wash, or you’ve decided it’s time to invest in a more energy efficient model, there’s a lot to consider when buying a replacement appliance. After the wash, the 7kg load now weighed 9.9kg with the retained water. That’s around 42% of extra load weight in water, which is nothing to write home about for a 1400 spin machine. Between 36% and 39% is average for a 1400 spin machine. Oddly, though, the specification suggests this Hisense has A-rated spin efficiency. Smaller loads fared better, with 4kg dry loads retaining nearer 35% additional weight.However, there’s a price to pay for using the tumble dryer function in terms of both time and energy. This full load took 10 minutes shy of four hours to dry and used a whopping 3.75kWh of electricity. Modern 7kg heat-pump dryers would use half to a third of that energy for the same load. Buying both a washing machine and a tumble dryer can be pricey and take up a lot of space. This is where washer-dryers come in handy. These two-in-one models can be a great solution if you’re looking for one multi-tasking machine. Pure tumble dry results were very good, and exceptional for a washer dryer. Exactly 7kg of wet cottons were dried to perfect cupboard dry throughout with no damp or overly dry spots. That’s unusual in a washer dryer, particularly one as affordable as this Hisense.

What’s the best price for the Hisense WDQY1014EVJM?

When it comes to buying gadgets and technology products, particularly in the Washing Machines category it’s important to invest in good quality products. HISENSE Series 5 WD5S1245BW WiFi-enabled 12 kg Washer Dryer is no exception. There are a number of reasons why quality is so important when it comes to these types of products. Wash noise was also suitably hushed thanks to a combination of the quiet motor and the double-skin door adding an amount of sound insulation. The machine burbled along most of the wash cycle in the low 50s decibels, but did have a couple of louder moments when the water was running in and the pump was pumping out. It then measured bang on the energy label figure of 56dB, which is still reasonably quiet.

Hand wash: This is great for machine washing delicate fibres and knitwear that you would normally wash by hand. It reduces the drum agitation during the wash and spin cycle and uses a lower temperature. Clearly, choosing a higher-capacity machine makes life easier. And this doesn’t impact the dimensions of the machine, since they’re all a standard 60cm wide. However, a larger-capacity machine will normally be more expensive to buy and run. The Hisense is very flexible in letting you tweak most wash programmes by temperature, spin speed and selecting between one and five rinses, with the default being two. You can add a pre-wash or make the wash cycle more intensive for really dirty garments. For drying, there are three levels – Cupboard, Iron and Extra Dry – plus a time-dry option. Hisense WDBL1014V – How well does it wash? The Pause & Add feature will allow you to add any missed or forgotten items to the drum, but only within the first ten minutes of the programme starting.The combined 8kg wash and 5kg drying capacity will be ample for most households, while the 1400 spin speed is decent and will leave clothes with minimal water at the end of the spin cycle.

There’s also a secondary filter for the heat pump, accessed through the door at the bottom. This has to be cleaned at least every five cycles. There are warning lights to indicate when it’s time to empty both the tank and to clean the filters.First up, you need to decide what sort of washing machine you’d like. There are four main types for you to choose from, and your choice will mainly come down to the space you have. Here are the different models available. There’s an Anti-Crease option that keeps the drum moving from time to time, to avoid clothes crumpling if you don’t remove them straight away. There’s also a Start Delay option so that you can have a cycle finish at a time that’s more convenient for you. If you’re running the tumble dryer with few items in it, there’s a Half Load button, which cuts drying times.
