What we don't like about Hisense WF3S8043BB3

  • There is no gentle cycle for delicate fabrics.
  • The door opens only to 135 °, which makes loading awkward in a tight space.
  • There is no automatic dosing system.
  • Spin-drying is rated class B.
  • Spinning reaches 72 dB, which is loud at night.

Verdict

Low power and water use are the strong points of the Hisense WF3S8043BB3, an 8 kg washer for a household that wants to keep running costs down. It uses 33 kWh per 100 cycles and 36 L of water per cycle, and it has 19 programs, so there is a setting for most laundry. Three programs finish in under an hour, which is handy when laundry is needed quickly. Steam and anti-crease help keep clothes smooth. The Water+ function, refresh cycle and water jets are the less usual extras, and AquaStop protects against leaks. The trade-off is a missing gentle cycle, and the door opens only to 135 °. It suits a busy household that wants quick washes, plenty of programs and little waste of power and water.
