Third-party reviews

What we like about Electrolux EW6S326A

  • 41 cm depth suits narrow alcoves and small utility rooms.
  • 14 washing programs include jeans, duvet and wool.
  • The fastest cycle takes just 14 min.
  • 42 L of water per cycle keeps water use down.
  • The inverter motor is covered by a 10 year warranty.
  • Anti-Allergy and duvet cycles suit bedding and linen.

What we don't like about Electrolux EW6S326A

  • 6 kg capacity means several loads for bedding or a big wash.
  • The 42 L drum is small, so bulky items fill it quickly.
  • Spin noise of 74 dB is loud in a quiet home.
  • Only one program finishes in under an hour, so quick washes are limited.

Verdict

Small flats and narrow utility spaces are where the Electrolux EW6S326A makes the most sense. Its 41 cm depth is the main draw, since it fits a shallow alcove where a standard machine would not. The 14 programs include jeans, duvet, wool and outdoor/sport cycles, and the fastest wash takes 14 min. It uses 42 L of water per cycle, a modest amount, and at 58.5 kg it feels solid for its size. The trade-off is capacity: 6 kg is small for a family, so bedding and towels need several loads. The spin reaches 74 dB, which is noticeable in a quiet flat or a home office. It suits a single person or a couple who wash often in small loads and need a slim body.
