Third-party reviews

What we like about First One FLL61000WH

  • Only 44 cm deep, so it fits tight spaces.
  • At 58 cm high it suits a compact corner.
  • 16 programs cover everyday washing.
  • Efficiency class A for energy use.
  • The Fast function gives a quick wash when there is little to do.
  • A budget choice for a small home.

What we don't like about First One FLL61000WH

  • The 6 kg drum is small for a family's weekly wash.
  • The 1000 RPM spin leaves clothes damp.
  • Bulky items such as duvets will not fit in the 6 kg drum.
  • Drying takes longer after a slow spin.

Verdict

Only 44 cm deep and 58 cm high, the First One FLL61000WH is a budget front loader for a small kitchen or a flat with little room. Its slim depth makes it easy to fit against a wall, and 16 programs cover the usual range of washing. The Fast function gives a quick wash when there is little to do. Efficiency class A keeps energy use in check, and the white finish is neutral. The trade-off is capacity. The 6 kg drum suits a single person or a couple, and the 1000 RPM spin leaves clothes damp, so drying takes longer. Bedding and bulky items do not suit the small drum. It suits a buyer with a small home and light laundry who wants a basic machine that does the job.
