Third-party reviews

What we like about TCL FF092

  • 14 programs cover cottons, delicates and most other fabrics.
  • The Night/Silent option keeps the noise down for late loads.
  • The inverter motor runs quietly and smoothly.
  • Spin reaches 1400 RPM, so clothes come out fairly dry.
  • Steam technology helps with creases and tough stains.
  • The self-cleaning function keeps the drum fresh between washes.

What we don't like about TCL FF092

  • At 64 kg it is hard to move for cleaning behind it.
  • Front loading means the door needs clear space in front to open.
  • The 9 kg drum is mid-size, so bulky items like duvets may be a tight fit.
  • At 85 cm high it may not fit under a standard worktop.

Verdict

Nine kilograms of washing fits in the TCL FF092, a front loader for households that run the machine most days. Its strongest point is the Night/Silent option, which keeps the noise down when a load runs late in the evening. The inverter motor runs quietly, and steam helps with creases and tough stains. Spin reaches 1400 RPM, so clothes come out fairly dry, and the self-cleaning function keeps the drum fresh between washes. The trade-off is weight: at 64 kg it is hard to move, so it suits a buyer who will set it up once and leave it in place. The 59.5 cm width fits most kitchen gaps, and 14 programs cover cottons to delicates. It suits a family with a fixed spot for it, or anyone who runs loads at night and wants them quiet.
