Third-party reviews

What we like about Bauknecht W Active 711 A

  • 45 kWh per 100 cycles keeps energy use low.
  • The 205 min ECO cycle suits everyday laundry.
  • The night and silent option keeps noise down after bedtime.
  • The refresh cycle freshens clothes between wears.
  • Pause and add lets you put in a forgotten item mid-cycle.
  • 15 programs include shirt, duvet, hygiene and anti-allergy cycles.

What we don't like about Bauknecht W Active 711 A

  • The quickest cycle takes 30 min.
  • The 76 dB spin is loud in a small flat.
  • At 68.2 kg it is heavy to move.
  • A 7 kg capacity means bigger loads need two runs.
  • Only one program finishes in under an hour.

Verdict

A small household that washes at night will find the Bauknecht W Active 711 A a sensible pick. Its night and silent option keeps the noise down when the machine runs after bedtime. The machine uses 45 kWh per 100 cycles, and the 205 min ECO cycle suits everyday clothes. There are 15 programs, including shirt, duvet, hygiene, wool and anti-allergy cycles. The refresh cycle freshens clothes between wears, and the anti-crease and steam functions help with wrinkles. The trade-off is time and noise: the quickest cycle takes 30 min, and the spin noise is 76 dB. At 68.2 kg it is heavy to move, so choose its spot before delivery. It suits a buyer who runs a quiet night wash and does not need speed.
