What we like about Sharp ES-PRO814BA-DE

  • Wi-Fi connectivity is built in.
  • The night and silent option keeps it quieter after dark.
  • The fastest cycle finishes in 15 min.
  • A 1400 RPM spin takes more water out of the load.
  • The inverter motor and 47 kWh per 100 cycles keep power use low.
  • At 52.7 cm deep it suits a shallow alcove.

What we don't like about Sharp ES-PRO814BA-DE

  • The 51 L drum is on the small side.
  • The 76 dB spin is loud when it runs.
  • The ECO cycle takes 218 min, which is long to wait.
  • At 56.5 kg it is heavy to move.

Verdict

A 1400 RPM spin and Wi-Fi connectivity set the Sharp ES-PRO814BA-DE apart, and an 8 kg load fits a busy family. The fastest cycle takes 15 min, and the night and silent option keeps the machine quieter after dark. Steam is built in, and the child lock keeps little hands off the controls. The 15 programs include jeans, wool and anti-allergy cycles, so most household washing has its own setting. The trade-off is the drum. At 51 L it is on the small side, and the 76 dB spin is loud when it runs. The ECO cycle takes 218 min, so it suits someone who can wait for a full wash. It suits a family that wants a quiet night cycle and a machine that sits in a narrow alcove.
