Third-party reviews

What we like about White Knight WK-ATBIWM814W

  • At 81.7 cm high it is low, which helps where headroom is tight.
  • The quickest cycle takes 15 min.
  • An energy saving mode is included, which is rare at this level.
  • Delay start lets you set the wash for later.
  • A time remaining indicator shows how long is left.
  • Jeans, wool, hygiene and anti-allergy cycles cover a wide range of clothes.
  • Child lock keeps small hands off the controls.

What we don't like about White Knight WK-ATBIWM814W

  • Energy use of 73 kWh per 100 cycles is high.
  • Energy efficiency class D is one of the lower grades.
  • The 51 L drum is small for bulky items like duvets.
  • Spin noise of 77 dB can be heard from the next room.
  • There is no steam function for freshening clothes.

Verdict

An 8 kg drum and a height of 81.7 cm make the White Knight WK-ATBIWM814W a sensible pick for a small household. It has 15 programs, and the quickest cycle takes 15 min. Jeans, wool, cold and hygiene washes are covered, and a delay start lets you run it while you are out. A time remaining indicator takes the guesswork out of the wait. The energy saving mode is a useful extra at this level. The trade-offs are running costs and noise. It uses 73 kWh per 100 cycles, which is high, and it spins at 77 dB, so it is noticeable in the next room. The 51 L drum is also small for a big duvet. This one suits someone who washes a few loads a week and wants the basics.
