What we like about Hisense WF3S1043BW3

  • The 10.5 kg drum takes big loads and bedding, so you wash less often.
  • Power JetWash lifts mud and dried-on food from laundry.
  • Steam Refresh freshens lightly worn clothes without a full wash.
  • Auto Wash picks the cycle from the load size and dirt level.
  • Three programs finish in under an hour.
  • The Mini Load function is handy for a small wash.

What we don't like about Hisense WF3S1043BW3

  • The ECO cycle takes 239 min, a long wait.
  • The door opens to 135 degrees, which can make loading awkward.
  • The spin can be loud and unsteady when the load is uneven.
  • Pet hair is not always removed, even on the full program.
  • The ConnectLife app can feel cluttered, with too many functions.

Verdict

Families who wash bedding and big loads will like the Hisense WF3S1043BW3, a mid-range washer with a 10.5 kg drum. It uses 43 kWh per 100 cycles and 41 L of water per cycle, which keeps both in check. Its 19 programs are the main draw, and three of them finish in under an hour. The Power JetWash works well on mud and dried-on food, and Steam Refresh freshens lightly worn clothes without a full wash. Wi-Fi lets you start a wash from your phone, although the app can feel cluttered. The trade-off is time: the ECO cycle takes 239 min, and the spin can be loud when the load is uneven. It suits a family with big loads and muddy clothes that does not mind a longer eco wash.
