Third-party reviews

What customers like about Willow WWDE8514GRY

  • An 8 kg drum takes a big load in one go.
  • The 5 kg dryer finishes a load without a second machine.
  • The 1400 rpm spin cuts down drying time.
  • 15 wash programs give a setting for most loads.
  • Washing is rated A, which keeps the wash side efficient.
  • Child lock and a delay start help on busy days.

What customers don't like about Willow WWDE8514GRY

  • Washing runs at 62 dB, which is noticeable in a quiet home.
  • There is only one drying program, so drying choices are limited.
  • No interior light makes the drum harder to check in the evening.
  • No automatic drawer cleaning means a manual wipe is needed.
  • The 5 kg dryer is small next to the 8 kg wash, so bigger loads need two goes.

Verdict

Anyone who wants an 8 kg wash and a 5 kg dryer in one box should look at the Willow WWDE8514GRY. It has 15 wash programs, an inverter motor, and a 1400 rpm spin that takes most of the water out before drying. The 52 cm depth helps it fit into a tighter gap, and 60 kg means you will want to keep it in one spot. The trade-off is noise: washing runs at 62 dB, which you will hear in a quiet flat. Each wash uses 47 L of water, and drying has just one program, so there is little choice there. There is no interior light, so checking inside the drum in the evening is harder. It suits a household that runs a load most days and does not need a long list of extras.
