Third-party reviews

What we like about Balay 3TS395BS

  • The spin is quiet at 71 dB.
  • The motor carries a 10-year warranty.
  • Anti-vibration design keeps the machine steady during the spin.
  • Automatic drawer cleaning keeps the detergent drawer clear.
  • AquaStop system guards against leaks.
  • Anti-stain and anti-crease functions help with everyday clothes.

What we don't like about Balay 3TS395BS

  • There are only four washing programs, and just one is under an hour.
  • Washing noise is 71 dB, as loud as the spin.
  • At 72.5 kg it is very heavy to move.
  • 49 kWh per 100 cycles adds up over a year of use.

Verdict

Quiet spinning and a long warranty are what draw buyers to the Balay 3TS395BS. The spin runs at 1400 RPM with 71 dB of noise, and the motor carries a 10-year warranty. The special drum design and anti-vibration design help keep the machine steady, and the drum holds 9 kg. Anti-stain, anti-crease and soak functions add useful options, and the drawer cleans itself automatically. The trade-offs are noise during the wash, which is also 71 dB, and a short program list. There are only four washing programs, and just one finishes in under an hour. At 72.5 kg it is very heavy to move, and it uses 49 kWh per 100 cycles. It suits someone who sticks to a few cycles and wants a quiet spin, not someone who likes choice.
