Verdict

The Whirlpool TDLR 7220LS SP is a top-loading washing machine with a 7 kg capacity and compact dimensions: 40 cm in width and a weight of 56 kg. It features efficient water usage at 45 litres per cycle and practical functionalities like the Drum Up automatic drum positioning, Energy Saver mode, and foam control system. The machine offers three quick programs under an hour for delicate items, wool, and fast 15-minute washes. However, significant drawbacks include high energy consumption of 78 kWh per 100 cycles (Class E), a spin noise level of 78 dB, absence of an inverter motor and display, no overflow protection, and a limited 2-year motor warranty. The Whirlpool TDLR 7220LS SP has insufficient energy performance, but its compact design and quick programs may appeal to those with limited space.
