What we like about Balay 3TS3107BD

  • 10 kg capacity handles a full load of bedding.
  • At 84.5 cm high it fits under a standard worktop.
  • A spin speed of 1400 RPM leaves clothes drier.
  • Energy class A keeps running costs low.
  • Anti-vibration design keeps the machine steady during a fast spin.
  • Pause and add lets you put in a forgotten item mid-wash.

What we don't like about Balay 3TS3107BD

  • At 72.8 kg it is hard to move once installed.
  • Front loading means bending down to load and unload.
  • 10 kg is a modest load for a large household.
  • Adding an item means pausing the cycle first, which takes a moment.

Verdict

Built for a kitchen where the washer has to fit under a worktop, the Balay 3TS3107BD still takes 10 kg of laundry. At 84.5 cm high and 59.7 cm wide, it slips into a standard gap. Its spin reaches 1400 RPM, which leaves clothes drier, and the energy class is A. The special drum design and anti-vibration design help it run steadily during a fast spin. Pause and add lets you slip in a forgotten shirt, and the time remaining indicator shows exactly how long is left. The trade-off is weight: at 72.8 kg it is a job to shift once it is installed. It suits a buyer with a fixed spot who wants a steady, efficient machine for everyday loads at home.
