Third-party reviews

What customers like about Indesit BDE 96436 WKV

  • A 9 kg wash and 6 kg dry run in one freestanding machine.
  • A combined wash and dry uses 65 L of water, a strong figure.
  • The inverter motor keeps the wash at 49 kWh per 100 cycles.
  • A 58 L drum gives room for bulky loads.
  • Selectable drying times and levels let you match the dryer to the load.
  • A 1400 RPM spin removes water before the dryer starts.

What customers don't like about Indesit BDE 96436 WKV

  • The fast wash takes 60 min, which is slow when you are in a hurry.
  • A full wash and dry cycle can run for 560 min.
  • Combined cycles are rated class D, at 307 kWh per 100 cycles.
  • There is no quick wash and dry option.
  • There is no automatic drawer cleaning.

Verdict

Nine kilos for washing and six for drying is the core of the Indesit BDE 96436 WKV, a freestanding washer dryer for a family with a steady pile of laundry. The inverter motor keeps the wash cycle economical at 49 kWh per 100 cycles. Its real strength is water: a full wash and dry uses 65 L, which is low for a machine like this. The drum holds 58 L and the spin reaches 1400 RPM. The fast wash takes 60 min, which is slow when you are in a hurry. The combined cycle is rated class D, and a full wash and dry can run for 560 min. It suits a household that runs laundry overnight or on a day off and cares more about water use than about speed.
