Third-party reviews

What we like about Sharp ES-NFA814BWB-DE

  • A 10 year motor warranty gives long-term peace of mind.
  • An inverter motor is fitted, which usually means a longer working life.
  • At 52.7 cm deep it fits a narrow kitchen or a small flat.
  • The 47 cm door makes loading easy.
  • A 1400 RPM spin leaves clothes fairly dry.
  • Load balancing and anti-vibration keep the spin steady.

What we don't like about Sharp ES-NFA814BWB-DE

  • The spin at 76 dB is loud enough to hear from the next room.
  • The 51 L drum is small for an 8 kg rating.
  • Only five temperature settings limit fine control.
  • Six advanced features is a short list.
  • There is no extra rinse function and no outdoor or sport cycle.

Verdict

The Sharp ES-NFA814BWB-DE is an impeccably engineered front-loading washing machine that balances sleek European styling, superior energy economy, and dedicated allergy care. Delivering an eight-kilogram washing capacity and a brisk 1400 RPM spin mechanism within a trimmed cabinet depth of 52.7 centimeters, it easily accommodates family wash loads in tight laundry layouts. A generous 47-centimeter wide porthole door provides effortless loading and unloading of bulky sheets, jackets, and blankets. Classified in energy efficiency Class B, it consumes a modest 55 kWh per hundred cycles. Its brushless Advanced Inverter motor, backed by a ten-year guarantee, operates quietly alongside WaveCabinet anti-vibration side walls that absorb lateral forces to curb noise to 58 decibels during wash and 76 decibels during spin cycles. Featuring Allergy Smart sanitizing cycles and a fifteen-minute quick wash, it delivers exceptional daily reliability.
