What we like about Hisense WF3S9043BW3

  • 34 kWh per 100 cycles keeps the power bill low.
  • 39 L of water per cycle is a real saving.
  • 14 programs cover a good range of everyday fabrics.
  • A steam option is included.
  • Wi-Fi connects it to a phone.
  • The fastest cycle takes 15 min.

What we don't like about Hisense WF3S9043BW3

  • There is no delay start, so it cannot wait to run at night.
  • The door opens to 135 degrees, which is a little narrow for bulky loads.
  • The spin is loud at 72 dB.
  • There is no automatic dosing system, so detergent is measured by hand.
  • Only one program finishes in under an hour.

Verdict

A low bill is the main draw of the Hisense WF3S9043BW3, which uses 34 kWh per 100 cycles and 39 L of water per cycle. That is a real saving for a 9 kg washer. It has 14 programs, steam and an inverter motor, and the 84.5 cm height suits a kitchen with less room. Wi-Fi connects it to a phone, and a water jets system sprays water over the laundry during the wash. The spin is loud at 72 dB, and there is no delay start, so the wash cannot wait until night. Only one program finishes in under an hour, and the door opens to 135 degrees, which is a little narrow for bulky items. It suits a small household that wants a low bill and a simple machine.
