Verdict

Heavy weekly washing is where the Sharp ES-WNFB214CMDA-DE earns its place. The 12 kg capacity and 69 L drum leave room for bulky loads. The 51 cm door makes it easy to reach into the drum. It uses 43 kWh per 100 cycles, which keeps power use low. The fastest cycle takes 12 min, and Wi-Fi with a memory function adds everyday convenience. The trade-off is noise and time: the spin reaches 77 dB, and the ECO cycle takes 240 min. At 77 kg and 63.2 cm deep, it is heavy and needs room to sit. A pre-wash cycle and a jeans cycle cover the usual jobs. Water jets are another option. It suits a family with big weekly loads that wants smart extras and does not mind a loud spin.
