Third-party reviews

What we like about Blomberg TKF 8456 AGE63

  • 1.42 kWh on a full load and 0.81 kWh on a partial load keep energy use low.
  • Energy class A+++ with 176 kWh a year means low yearly use.
  • Humidity sensors stop the cycle once the load is dry.
  • Child lock keeps small hands off the controls.
  • 16 programs include jeans and duvets, so most laundry has a setting.
  • A transparent door lets you see the clothes turning.

What we don't like about Blomberg TKF 8456 AGE63

  • At 52.5 kg it is hard for one person to move.
  • At 65 dB it is noticeable in a quiet room.
  • An 8 kg load means a big family needs more than one cycle a day.
  • The 85 cm height may not suit a low under-counter gap.

Verdict

The Blomberg TKF 8456 AGE63 stands out for energy use: 1.42 kWh on a full load and 176 kWh a year in energy class A+++. It is a budget heat pump for a family that dries most days and wants low running energy. At 59.5 cm wide it fits a narrow utility space, and the 8 kg drum takes a full family wash. Sixteen programs include jeans, shirts, wool and duvets, and humidity sensors stop the cycle once the load is dry. Water recovery is rated A, and a transparent door lets you see the clothes turning. The trade-off is weight: at 52.5 kg it is heavy to move, and at 65 dB it is noticeable in a quiet room. It suits a buyer who wants the lowest running energy for a family wash and does not mind the weight.
