Third-party reviews

What we like about SanGiorgio FC912 F4 Advance

  • 42 L of water per cycle keeps water bills low.
  • A 9 kg capacity handles a big family wash.
  • The 64 L drum gives clothes room to move.
  • The anti-stain and soak functions help with dirty work clothes.
  • The energy saving mode is there when power matters most.
  • Eight temperature settings give fine control over the wash.

What we don't like about SanGiorgio FC912 F4 Advance

  • Energy use of 73 kWh per 100 cycles is high for a class D rating.
  • Spin noise of 77 dB is loud.
  • Annual energy use of 160.6 kWh adds up over a year.
  • The motor warranty covers two years only.
  • There is no inverter motor to cut power use.

Verdict

The SanGiorgio FC912 F4 Advance is a 9 kg washing machine with a spacious 64-litre drum, designed for eco-friendly performance. It features an efficient ECO mode and uses only 42 litres of water per cycle, reflecting environmental consideration. Its 15 specialised programs, including cycles for cotton, jeans, sportswear, and duvets, handle a variety of laundry needs. Functions like 30- or 60-minute soak options and load balancing ensure optimal results. However, this machine has drawbacks such as high energy consumption of 73 kWh per 100 cycles, the absence of an inverter motor, and a noise level of 77 dB during spinning. The maximum spin speed of 1200 rpm is below current standards, and the 2-year motor warranty is limited. The SanGiorgio FC912 F4 Advance is a good option for those looking for basic features with water-saving focus but falls short on technical aspects.
