Third-party reviews

What we like about Electrolux EW7H28B

  • Humidity sensors stop the cycle once the load is dry.
  • A 118 L drum gives 8 kg of washing room to tumble.
  • Wool, bed linen, outdoor and hygiene programs cover the awkward loads.
  • At 63 dB, the noise is easy to live with in a kitchen.
  • The B energy class keeps the yearly use at 194.1 kWh.
  • The refresh program freshens clothes that were worn briefly.

What we don't like about Electrolux EW7H28B

  • A delayed start of up to 20 h is short for a wash planned a day ahead.
  • At 49.9 kg it is hard to move on a hard floor.
  • Eight kilograms is the full limit, so one large duvet can fill the drum.
  • It needs 85 cm of height and 63.6 cm of depth, so check the space first.

Verdict

Mixed family laundry suits the Electrolux EW7H28B, a heat pump dryer with humidity sensors and a 118 L drum. It takes 8 kg of washing, and the 118 L drum gives the clothes room to tumble. Its 12 programs include wool, bed linen, outdoor and hygiene settings, which covers most of the week's laundry. The energy class is B, and the machine uses 194.1 kWh a year. The trade-off is weight: at 49.9 kg it is hard to move, and the delayed start stops at 20 h. At 63 dB it runs at a level most people can live with in a kitchen. It suits a family that wants a sensible heat pump with a full set of care programs and does not mind the weight.
