Third-party reviews

What we like about Electrolux EW5F6834BA

  • 43 L of water per cycle keeps water use low.
  • An inverter motor drives the drum.
  • Load balancing helps the drum stay steady in the spin.
  • Delay start can be set up to 20 h ahead.
  • Jeans, wool and gentle cycles cover most fabrics.
  • Steam technology helps freshen clothes between washes.

What we don't like about Electrolux EW5F6834BA

  • Only 12 washing programs means fewer choices.
  • Spin noise of 75 dB is loud at the end of a wash.
  • At 66.5 kg it is hard to move alone.
  • The 205 min ECO cycle is slow when you are in a rush.
  • Spin-drying class B is less thorough than class A.

Verdict

At 43 L per cycle, the Electrolux EW5F6834BA stands out for the water it uses. It takes 8 kg of laundry, which suits a family that runs the washer most days. The spin reaches 75 dB, so expect some noise at the end of a wash. A water jets system and laundry detection help it treat each load with care. Jeans, wool, outdoor and gentle cycles cover most of a wardrobe. Steam technology and a hygiene cycle help with bedding and towels. A delay start of up to 20 h and a child lock add everyday convenience. The trade-off is the program list, which has only 12 choices. It suits a buyer who wants a sensible, economical machine for everyday clothes rather than a long list of special settings.
