What we like about Smeg LBW62PCIT

  • It uses 43 L of water per cycle, about 9460 L over a year.
  • At 41.6 cm deep it fits a narrow utility room.
  • Fifteen programs cover most everyday washing.
  • The laundry detection system adjusts the cycle to the load.
  • Load balancing keeps the drum steady during the spin.
  • A pre-wash cycle helps with muddy work clothes.

What we don't like about Smeg LBW62PCIT

  • Spin noise reaches 79 dB, which is loud in a home.
  • There is no inverter motor.
  • Energy use is 65 kWh per 100 cycles, class D.
  • There are only three spin speeds.
  • There is no display or time remaining indicator.
  • A 6 kg drum is small for a family.

Verdict

The Smeg LBW62PCIT is a compact 6 kg washing machine with a depth of just 41.6 cm and energy class D. The machine offers 15 washing programs, including two quick cycles under an hour and an efficient 180-minute ECO cycle. The automatic load balancing system ensures even distribution of clothes, reducing vibrations. Water consumption is optimal at 43 litres per cycle. However, drawbacks include the absence of an inverter motor, a display, and the Pause & Add function. Noise during spinning reaches 79 dB, and spin options are limited to three speeds up to 1200 rpm. The drum volume of 41 litres may be insufficient for some users, and the basic package of six advanced functions lacks modern features now standard in the market.
