Hands-on overview · programme options and service cycle test
Verdict
Whirlpool TDLR 6240S is hard to recommend: many programmes lock out options, and the service cycle shook the machine violently.

Third-party reviews

What we like about Whirlpool TDLR 6240S

  • The 6th Sense programme adjusts to soil and water levels.
  • A Fresh care option is on every programme.
  • A delay start can be set for up to 24 hours.
  • Water use is 43 L per cycle, or 9460 L a year.
  • Energy saving mode is an uncommon extra.
  • At 40 cm wide, it fits a small kitchen.

What we don't like about Whirlpool TDLR 6240S

  • Most programmes block speed, eco and extra rinse options.
  • The child lock stays on after the machine is switched off.
  • The wool programme skips all spins.
  • The machine shakes hard on the highest spin.
  • A 6 kg capacity is small for a family load.

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.
