Third-party reviews

What we like about Hanseatic HWM-HME6012IVSMA

  • At 45 cm deep, it suits a narrow space.
  • The 52 kg body keeps it steady during a spin.
  • 15 washing programs include Baby Care and Anti-Allergy cycles.
  • Steam, an extra rinse and a pre-wash add useful choice.
  • The inverter motor runs smoothly and tends to last longer.
  • A display, a delay start and a child lock make daily use simple.

What we don't like about Hanseatic HWM-HME6012IVSMA

  • The 6 kg drum is small for a family's wash.
  • At 1200 RPM, clothes come out damper and take longer to dry.
  • It is self-standing, so it cannot be built into a kitchen.
  • Front loading needs room in front of the door.

Verdict

A sensible budget choice for a small flat is the Hanseatic HWM-HME6012IVSMA. At 45 cm deep it is shallow, and the 84.5 cm height and 52 kg body keep it steady without taking over the room. The 6 kg drum is the trade-off, so it suits one or two people rather than a family with big loads. It has 15 washing programs, including a Baby Care cycle and an Anti-Allergy cycle, which help in a home with babies or allergy sufferers. Steam, an extra rinse and a pre-wash add useful choice, and the inverter motor runs smoothly. The spin reaches 1200 RPM, and the fastest cycle takes 15 min. It fits a small household that wants a compact machine with class A energy use, steam and a clear display.
