Third-party reviews

What we like about Whirlpool FFBNA9269BVFR

  • Energy class A and 49 kWh per 100 cycles keep power use down.
  • The 62 L drum takes a bulky duvet with room to spare.
  • Duvet, wool, outdoor and colour cycles cover a wide range of fabrics.
  • The Refresh cycle freshens clothes without a full wash.
  • A delay start of up to 24 h lets you run a wash overnight.
  • At 84.5 cm tall it suits a standard kitchen gap.

What we don't like about Whirlpool FFBNA9269BVFR

  • The spin reaches 78 dB, so it is noticeable at the end of a cycle.
  • A quick wash still takes 30 min at its fastest.
  • At 63 cm deep it needs more floor space than a shallow model.
  • Its 9 kg capacity means a big family needs more loads.
  • At 72 kg it is heavy to move for cleaning behind it.

Verdict

Yearly bills are the main strength of the Whirlpool FFBNA9269BVFR, a mid-range 9 kg washer for everyday loads. It is energy class A and uses 49 kWh per 100 cycles, and the yearly energy cost is low. The 62 L drum handles a bulky duvet with room to spare. Duvet, wool, outdoor and sport and colour cycles cover a wide range, and the Refresh cycle freshens clothes without a full wash. A delay start of up to 24 h lets you run a wash overnight. The trade-offs are noise and speed. The spin reaches 78 dB, and the fastest cycle takes 30 min. At 63 cm deep, it also needs a bit more space than a shallow machine. It suits a household that washes often and wants low bills, not a quiet machine.
