Third-party reviews

What we like about Electrolux EW6S560I SensiCare 600

  • 40 L of water per cycle keeps water use low.
  • 8800 L a year keeps annual water use low.
  • A 37.8 cm depth and 84.3 cm height suit tight spaces.
  • The inverter motor is included.
  • The 190 min ECO cycle is a sensible length for a daily wash.
  • Steam technology and 14 washing programs add choice.

What we don't like about Electrolux EW6S560I SensiCare 600

  • A 6 kg capacity means fewer items per wash.
  • The 1000 RPM top spin leaves bulky loads wetter.
  • Energy class C and spin-drying class C mean more power per load and damper clothes.
  • A delay start of up to 9 h is short for some schedules.
  • No anti-stain function, so tough marks need pre-treatment.

Verdict

The Electrolux EW6S560I SensiCare 600 is an efficient and compact washing machine with a depth of only 37.8 cm. This 6 kg model features an inverter motor with a 10-year warranty and a low energy consumption of 56 kWh per 100 cycles. The SensiCare system with Time Manager adjusts the cycle duration based on the load, while the anti-allergy steam function at the end of the wash enhances hygiene. It optimizes water use at just 40 litres per cycle and includes a self-cleaning system and 14 specific washing programs. Limitations include a maximum spin speed of 1000 RPM (Class C efficiency), a reduced 6 kg capacity, and the absence of features like an anti-stain system and load balancing. The delayed start is limited to 9 hours, and the drum lacks a special fabric-protective design.
