Third-party reviews

What we like about Electrolux EW7F484BI SteamCare 700

  • The 8 kg drum suits the weekly wash for a medium-sized family.
  • Steam eases out creases, so there is less ironing.
  • The 69 dB spin is quiet enough to run while you are at home.
  • Night mode keeps late loads quieter.
  • 14 programs include a delicate setting for fragile garments.
  • The motor has a 10-year warranty.

What we don't like about Electrolux EW7F484BI SteamCare 700

  • It uses 73 kWh per 100 cycles, which is energy class D.
  • There is no inverter motor.
  • Only three spin speeds, with the slowest at 800 RPM, can leave clothes damp.
  • There is no Wi-Fi, so it cannot be controlled from a phone.
  • Dosing is manual, so detergent is measured by hand.

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.
