Third-party reviews

What we like about Electrolux EW6F512U

  • A 10 kg drum takes a large family load.
  • The load balancing system helps the drum spin steadily.
  • The time remaining indicator shows how long the wash has left.
  • The wool and outdoor/sport cycles cover jumpers and muddy kit.
  • The hygiene and anti-allergy cycles suit homes with sensitive skin.
  • The fastest cycle takes 14 min for a quick wash.

What we don't like about Electrolux EW6F512U

  • Each cycle uses 53 L of water, which makes it a thirsty machine.
  • At 73.5 kg it is heavy to move and to install.
  • At 63.6 cm deep, it needs more floor space than shallower models.
  • The spin reaches 75 dB, so it is audible in the next room.

Verdict

Jumpers and muddy kit are the reason to look at the Electrolux EW6F512U, which has a 10 kg drum. It takes a big family load in one go, so there are fewer washes each week. A load balancing system helps the drum spin steadily, and a time remaining indicator shows how long is left. The wool and outdoor/sport cycles suit jumpers and muddy kit, while the hygiene and anti-allergy cycles help in a home with sensitive skin. There are 14 programs, and the fastest cycle takes 14 min for a quick wash. The trade-off is water and weight: each cycle uses 53 L, and at 73.5 kg it is heavy to move. The machine is also 63.6 cm deep, so measure the space first. It suits a busy family that washes often and wants gentle cycles.
