  • A baby care cycle is built in for infant clothes.
  • Wi-Fi lets you control the machine from a phone app.

What customers don't like about Hisense WD3S8043BB3

  • The drum is only 54 L, which is small for bulky items.
  • Combined cycles use 80 L of water.
  • The combined energy efficiency class is D.
  • Spin noise of 72 dB can be heard in other rooms.
  • The drying capacity is 5 kg, so combined loads are small.

Verdict

A household that washes most days will like the Hisense WD3S8043BB3, which uses 33 kWh per 100 washing cycles. Each wash uses 36 L of water for up to 8 kg of clothes. The 16 wash programs are the big draw, and a baby care cycle sits among them. Wi-Fi comes built in, and steam helps with allergens and bacteria. The drum is small at 54 L, so bulky duvets are hard to fit. Automatic drying is included, and the shortest combined cycle takes 60 min. It suits a family of four that mostly washes and only sometimes dries, and wants plenty of settings. The cabinet is 51 cm deep, so it suits a tight kitchen gap. Spin reaches 1400 RPM.
