What we like about Nilson NL7201AI

  • A motor warranty of 10 years gives long cover.
  • A 40.5 cm depth suits a small space.
  • At 50 kg it is light for its size.
  • Steam technology freshens clothes between washes.
  • Anti-crease function reduces creasing on shirts.
  • Pause and add lets you add a forgotten item mid-cycle.

What we don't like about Nilson NL7201AI

  • 11 programs is a short list.
  • A 7 kg drum is small for a large family.
  • The self-standing design cannot sit under a counter.
  • The front-loading layout needs clearance in front to open the door.

Verdict

A motor warranty of 10 years is the first thing to notice about the Nilson NL7201AI, a slim front loader that is 40.5 cm deep. Its 7 kg drum suits a couple's weekly wash or a small family's regular loads. Steam is built in, and the anti-crease function helps shirts come out smoother. At 50 kg it is light for its size, which makes it easier to slide into a tight space. The 1200 RPM spin is fast enough for everyday cottons and synthetics. Pause and add lets you drop in a forgotten item mid-cycle, and the transparent door shows the wash without opening it. The trade-off is choice: 11 programs is a short list. It suits a buyer with little floor space who wants a sturdy, long-warranty washer.
