What we like about Hisense WF1Q8041BW

  • 37 kWh per 100 cycles keeps power use low.
  • 40 L of water per cycle is modest for an 8 kg load.
  • Steam suits homes with allergies or young children.
  • The 48 cm door makes loading and unloading easy.
  • Water jets push detergent through the load and cut leftover suds.
  • A 24 h delay start and Pause and Add make the wash fit the day.

What we don't like about Hisense WF1Q8041BW

  • The door opens only to 135 °, so it is tight to reach into.
  • The lowest spin speed is 800 RPM, so clothes can come out wetter on a slow spin.
  • There is no app, and detergent is not dosed automatically.
  • The spin reaches 72 dB, which is noticeable in a quiet home.
  • It is about 54 cm deep, so it needs a full-depth space.

Verdict

Low power and water use is the first thing to like about the Hisense WF1Q8041BW. It uses 37 kWh per 100 cycles and 40 L of water per cycle, which is easy on a busy week of laundry. Steam suits homes with allergies or young children, and the water jets push detergent through the load so less is left as suds. A 24 h delay start suits an overnight tariff, and Pause and Add lets you slip in a forgotten sock. The trade-off is the spin, which reaches 1400 RPM but drops to 800 RPM on the lowest setting, and there is no app. Check the space first, since the door opens only to 135 °. It suits a family buyer who wants steam and low running use.
