    The first number in the "Best rankings" table above indicates the product's rank among all products in our database, while the second number (in brackets) represents its rank among available products only. | The "average product" rating mentioned below reflects the median values calculated across all attributes for products within this category.

    Verdict

    The Whirlpool TDLR 6240S is a top-loading washing machine with a 6 kg capacity and a compact width of just 40 cm. Energy consumption is low at 56 kWh per 100 cycles, and water usage is efficient at 43 litres per cycle. The Energy Saver mode optimises consumption through lower temperatures, while the Drum Up function automatically positions the drum for easier access. The system includes specialised cycles such as Colours and a quick wash function for faster loads. Weaknesses include the absence of an inverter motor and overflow protection, a small drum volume of 42 litres, and only 12 basic programs. The motor warranty is limited to 2 years, and it lacks modern features such as self-cleaning and cold wash. The 5 available temperature settings may be insufficient for some specific needs.
