Third-party reviews

What we like about Russell Hobbs RH612W110W

  • At 49.7 cm deep it suits a narrow space.
  • The 84.5 cm height keeps the machine compact.
  • Eight temperature settings give fine control over fabrics.
  • The ECO cycle takes 191 min.
  • The inverter motor and anti-vibration design help it run steadily.
  • A pre-wash cycle is included for dirtier loads.

What we don't like about Russell Hobbs RH612W110W

  • Class D energy rating and 65 kWh per 100 cycles add to running costs.
  • A 6 kg drum is small for a family's weekly wash.
  • Spin noise reaches 78 dB.
  • Only three spin speeds, and the slowest is 800 RPM.
  • There is no steam, extra rinse or gentle cycle.

Verdict

The Russell Hobbs RH612W110W is a compact 6 kg washing machine with a 1200 RPM spin speed and D energy rating. It has comprehensive temperature control and practical wash programs including a dedicated jeans cycle and colors program. The ECO cycle completes in 191 minutes, which saves 27 minutes compared to average duration on the market.. The machine features an anti-vibration system with a boomerang body design and inverter motor for quieter operation. Its dimensions are optimized for space efficiency, with a notably smaller depth of 49.7 cm and reduced weight of 62.5 kg. However, the machine lacks several advanced features found in similar models. The manufacturer does not specify any special drum design for fabric care, and the machine operates without steam technology, foam control, or self-cleaning capabilities. It also misses convenience features like Pause & Add functionality and anti-crease treatment. The 1200 RPM maximum spin speed falls 200 RPM below typical specifications, and there is no dedicated anti-stain cycle available.
