What we like about Indesit EWE 81283 W

  • 16 washing programs cover most everyday laundry.
  • Six programs finish in under an hour.
  • Washing noise is only 50 dB.
  • The 1200 RPM spin removes much of the water from clothes.
  • It deals well with many types of stain.
  • Energy saving mode helps cut power use.

What we don't like about Indesit EWE 81283 W

  • A cotton cycle takes about 255 minutes in tests.
  • It uses 71 kWh per 100 cycles, about 1.13 kWh per cotton wash in tests.
  • There is no overflow protection.
  • There is no pre-wash cycle for very dirty laundry.
  • The motor is covered for only 2 years.
  • It cannot connect to a phone or tablet app.

Verdict

The Indesit EWE 81283 W is an 8 kg washing machine noted for its particularly quiet operation, with just 50 dB during washing and 73 dB during spinning. The machine offers 16 washing programs, including six quick cycles under an hour, such as Mixed Colours 59' and Express 20'. The load balancing system distributes laundry evenly to reduce vibrations, while the Energy Saver function enables effective washes with cold water. The inverter motor and Autoclean self-cleaning cycle complete the positive features. However, the high energy consumption of 71 kWh per 100 cycles results in a D energy class. The maximum spin speed is limited to 1200 rpm, and the machine lacks overflow protection, an anti-crease function, and offers only a 2-year motor warranty. The Indesit EWE 81283 W is suitable for those seeking a quiet washer with good quick-wash options but should consider the long-term energy costs.
