Third-party reviews

What customers like about Hisense WD3S9043BW3

  • A wash uses only 39 L of water.
  • The wash cycle is class A for energy.
  • The motor has a 10-year warranty.
  • At 63 kg it is light for a machine that washes 9 kg.
  • A quick wash and dry option saves time.
  • Wi-Fi is built in.

What customers don't like about Hisense WD3S9043BW3

  • There is no child lock.
  • There is no AquaStop protection.
  • Combined cycles use 307 kWh per 100 cycles and are class D.
  • The combined cycle takes at least 60 min.
  • Drying tops out at 6 kg of laundry.

Verdict

The Hisense WD3S9043BW3 is light at 63 kg, and its 84.5 cm height suits a tight utility room. It washes 9 kg and dries 6 kg, with a 60 L drum and a 1400 RPM spin. A wash uses 39 L of water, and the wash cycle is class A and uses 34 kWh per 100 cycles, which keeps everyday running light. Steam, a quick wash and dry option and a 10-year motor warranty give the machine more range. The trade-off is what is left out. There is no AquaStop protection and no child lock, so a home with small children needs extra care. Combined cycles are class D and use 89 L. It suits a small household that washes often, wants modest energy use and does not mind a basic set of protections.
