How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves.
Weighting: Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Share: Too few models in this category have enough reviews yet, so reviews are shown but do not count in the overall score.

What we like about Electrolux EW7F49GY

  • A 69 L drum gives big loads room to move.
  • 14 washing programs cover jeans, duvets, wool and hygiene.
  • Steam technology and an inverter motor are fitted.
  • Wi-Fi lets you start or check a wash from a phone.
  • Delay start lets you set a wash for later.
  • Child lock and overflow protection add safety.

What we don't like about Electrolux EW7F49GY

  • The fastest cycle takes 20 min, so it is no shortcut for a rush wash.
  • The final spin is loud at 75 dB.
  • At 63.6 cm deep it needs a generous space.
  • At 68.5 kg it is hard to move once installed.
  • Only one program finishes in under an hour.

Verdict

Large loads are the main reason to look at the Electrolux EW7F49GY. At 69 L it gives a 9 kg load plenty of room to move, which helps with bulky duvets and thick towels. It has 14 programs, including jeans, duvet, wool, hygiene and anti-allergy settings. Steam technology and an inverter motor are fitted, and Wi-Fi lets you start or check a wash from a phone. The trade-off is speed. The fastest cycle still takes 20 min, so it is no choice for a quick top-up wash. The final spin is loud at 75 dB, so it is best run during the day. Its 68.5 kg means it stays put once installed. It suits a family that washes big loads of bedding and wants many programs without fuss.
