Third-party reviews

What we like about SIA SWM6100W

  • At 44 cm deep it fits a shallow space.
  • The 52 kg weight keeps it steady during the spin.
  • The self-cleaning function helps keep the drum fresh.
  • A 6 kg capacity handles a normal week of laundry for one or two people.
  • A pre-wash cycle is included for dirty loads.
  • Nine programs keep the controls simple.

What we don't like about SIA SWM6100W

  • Energy class E and 78 kWh per 100 cycles push running costs up.
  • The 1000 RPM spin leaves clothes damp, so drying takes longer.
  • The wash at 60 dB and the spin at 74 dB are both loud.
  • Only two advanced features and four temperature settings limit control.
  • There is no cold wash, wool cycle or display.

Verdict

The SIA SWM6100W is a 6 kg capacity washing machine with an E energy efficiency rating. This compact model runs slightly quieter during spinning at 74 dB and features significantly smaller dimensions, with a 44 cm depth and weighing just 52 kg. The machine includes 9 basic washing programs including Cotton, Mixed, Eco 40-60, Synthetics, Delicates, Drum Cleaning, Spin, Quick 15', and Rinse + Spin. Its drawbacks include higher energy consumption at 78 kWh per 100 cycles and a lower 1000 RPM maximum spin speed. The manufacturer doesn't mention any special drum design for fabric care. The machine also lacks several modern features like an inverter motor, steam technology, foam control system, and anti-stain cycle, which limits its functionality compared to more advanced models.
