Third-party reviews

What we like about Hisense DH1Q802BW2

  • 59.5 cm width and 55 cm depth fit tight spaces.
  • 16 programs give plenty of choice.
  • Shirt and duvet programs cover two common loads.
  • Allergen and hygiene programs suit homes where allergies are a concern.
  • The fast function is handy when you need dry clothes quickly.
  • Child lock and delayed start add practical control.

What we don't like about Hisense DH1Q802BW2

  • A 100 L drum is small, so bulky loads may not fit.
  • At 54 kg it is hard to move around.
  • There is no interior light, so you need to open the door to see inside.
  • There is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, so it cannot be controlled from a phone.
  • There is no temperature selection, so you cannot choose the heat level.

Verdict

Small kitchens and tight utility rooms are where the Hisense DH1Q802BW2 makes most sense. It measures 59.5 cm wide and 55 cm deep, so it fits spaces where a standard dryer would stick out. The heat pump uses 1.92 kWh on a full 8 kg load and 1.08 kWh on a part load. Sixteen programs cover most everyday laundry, with shirt, duvet, outdoor and sport settings among them. The fast function is an uncommon extra, and the baby program is useful for infant clothes. Allergen and hygiene programs suit homes where allergies are a concern. The trade-offs are the 100 L drum, which is small for bulky loads, and the 54 kg weight. It suits a household that wants a compact machine with plenty of choice and does not need Wi-Fi.
