Third-party reviews

  • The ECO cycle finishes in 160 min.
  • Pre-wash and extra rinse help with heavy dirt.
  • Self-cleaning keeps the drum fresh.

What customers don't like about Cater-Wash CK8580

  • It uses 80 kWh per 100 cycles and sits in energy class C.
  • There is no inverter motor.
  • The spin is loud at 78 dB.
  • Washing noise reaches 62 dB.
  • Five temperature settings limit how finely you can match fabrics.

Verdict

The Cater-Wash CK8580 is a compact 8 kg washing machine that stands out with its space-saving design, being notably smaller in volume compared to standard models at 220,500 cm³. This washer weighs 56 kg and includes practical wash programs like Colors, Baby Care, and Jeans cycles, along with a convenient feature to save preferred settings. The ECO cycle completes 58 minutes faster than average washing machines, finishing in 160 minutes. However, the machine has several limitations: it operates without an inverter motor or steam technology, consumes 0.8 kWh per cycle, and reaches a maximum spin speed of 1200 RPM. The manufacturer doesn't specify any special drum design for protecting clothes, and the machine lacks common features such as foam control, anti-stain cycles, and the ability to pause and add items during washing. While its compact size makes it suitable for smaller spaces, the higher energy consumption and absence of advanced features might be considerations for potential buyers.
