    The first number in the "Best rankings" table above indicates the product's rank among all products in our database, while the second number (in brackets) represents its rank among available products only. | The "average product" rating mentioned below reflects the median values calculated across all attributes for products within this category.

    Verdict

    The Electrolux EW7F484BI SteamCare 700 stands out for its steam-related functionalities. The FreshScent program refreshes garments in 25 minutes, and the Steam PRO function adds a final steam treatment to each wash. The machine operates quietly at 69 dB during spinning, supported by an anti-vibration design. It offers a maximum spin speed of 1400 rpm, and the Eco Time Manager® speeds up cycles. The Extra Silent program is ideal for night-time washes. It also includes a self-cleaning function. However, the machine has significant drawbacks: high energy consumption at 73 kWh per 100 cycles (Class D), only three spin speeds, and the absence of an inverter motor. Programs are limited to 14 options, with no load balancing system or auto-diagnosis. The Electrolux EW7F484BI SteamCare 700 may appeal to users seeking a quiet machine with excellent steam features, but its high energy consumption and technical limitations reduce its overall value.
