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 Indesit MTWA 71252 W IT

  • 17 wash programs cover most fabrics and everyday needs.
  • The anti-crease function helps shirts come out smoother.
  • A delay start lets you set the wash for later.
  • The child lock keeps small hands off the controls.
  • The fast function gives a short wash when time is tight.
  • Wool and gentle cycles look after delicate clothes.

What we don't like about Indesit MTWA 71252 W IT

  • At 66.5 kg it is hard to move, even with help.
  • A 7 kg drum means more loads for a larger household.
  • Spin at 1200 RPM leaves clothes fairly damp, so drying takes longer.
  • Being self-standing, it cannot tuck under a worktop.

Verdict

Most of the time a plain wash is all you need, and the Indesit MTWA 71252 W IT covers the rest with 17 programs. It has the everyday choices, including wool, gentle and outdoor and sport cycles, plus a fast wash and an extra rinse. The anti-crease function helps shirts that sit in the drum for a while, and a delay start lets you set the wash for later. A child lock is fitted too, which is handy in a house with small hands. Spin reaches 1200 RPM, so clothes come out fairly damp, and it weighs 66.5 kg, so it is hard to shift once installed. It suits a couple or small family that wants plenty of choice from an everyday front loader and can manage with a 7 kg drum.
