Third-party reviews

What customers like about Balay 3VF6360SA

  • 0.54 kWh per cycle keeps the power use low.
  • A noise level of 42 dB is quiet enough for an open kitchen.
  • A load sensor adjusts the cycle to what is inside.
  • 14 place settings fit a family's dinner in one run.
  • A height adjustable top basket makes room for tall glasses.
  • Wi-Fi lets you connect it to your home network.

What customers don't like about Balay 3VF6360SA

  • No overflow protection against spills on the floor.
  • No self-cleaning filter, so the filter needs rinsing by hand.
  • No delicate program for fine glasses.
  • No hygiene program for extra sanitizing.
  • No automatic door opening when the cycle ends.

Verdict

Low energy use is the main reason to look at the Balay 3VF6360SA, with 0.54 kWh per cycle. It holds 14 place settings, enough for a family's dinner in one load. It runs at 42 dB, quiet enough to start after dinner while people are still in the kitchen. Each cycle uses 9 L of water. A load sensor checks what is inside, and the water softener can be set to match your tap. Wi-Fi is built in, and a delay start of up to 24 h lets it run while you sleep. The trade-off is that there is no overflow protection, so a spill would reach the floor. It also has no delicate program for fine glasses. It suits a busy household that runs the machine daily and wants to keep power use down without losing capacity.
