Third-party reviews

What customers like about Sauber DR96143

  • A 9 kg wash load suits a family's weekly laundry.
  • A 61 L drum takes large duvets and bulky items.
  • A wash uses 50 L of water, a modest amount.
  • Wash and dry together use 90 kWh per 100 cycles.
  • AquaStop protects against leaks from the hoses.
  • A time remaining indicator shows how long a cycle still has to run.

What customers don't like about Sauber DR96143

  • Drying noise of 64 dB is loud while the dryer runs.
  • Weighing 79 kg, it is hard to move.
  • Spin noise of 73 dB is loud at the final spin.
  • Its combined energy class is E, which is poor for wash and dry.
  • Drying only 6 kg means bigger loads need two runs.

Verdict

For a buyer on a tight budget, the Sauber DR96143 gives 9 kg of washing and 6 kg of drying in one machine. The drum holds 61 L, and at 84.5 cm high it suits a kitchen with standard units. The inverter motor helps here: a wash uses 50 L of water and runs at 53 dB, so it is fairly quiet. Wash and dry together use 90 kWh per 100 cycles, a low figure for a machine that dries as well. A duvet cycle is handy for bedding. The trade-off is noise when drying. Drying runs at 64 dB, and the machine weighs 79 kg, so it is not easy to move. It suits a household that does several loads a week and wants to keep water and power use in check.
