Third-party reviews

What we like about Electrolux EW6HCH19G SensiCare 600

  • The 9 kg drum takes full loads of bedding and towels.
  • Cottons and synthetics dry together without sorting.
  • Sensors adjust time and power to each load.
  • A gentle setting dries at about half the usual temperature.
  • The drum turns both ways, which helps reduce creases.
  • A bed linen program handles large sheets and sets.

What we don't like about Electrolux EW6HCH19G SensiCare 600

  • At 50.3 kg it is hard to move once it is in place.
  • Its 63.6 cm depth needs a generous space in a narrow room.
  • Front loading means bending to load and unload.
  • SensiCare changes the cycle length, so the finish time varies.

Verdict

For a home that dries mixed loads and big bedding sets, the Electrolux EW6HCH19G SensiCare 600 is a sensible heat pump dryer. The 9 kg drum takes a full load of towels or sheets, and cottons and synthetics can go in together without sorting. The sensors check humidity and temperature in each load and adjust time and power. The gentle setting dries at about half the usual temperature. The drum turns in both directions and keeps tumbling after the cycle, which helps keep creases down. A bed linen program and a reversible door add flexibility. The trade-off is weight: at 50.3 kg it is hard to shift once it is in place. It suits a buyer who washes mixed fabrics often and wants a machine that stays put.
