Hisense-WFQP9014EVM-Freestanding-9 KG-Front Load Washing Durable Inverter Machine-Steam Wash-Quick Wash-15 Washing Programs-1400 RPM-White-Energy Rating CEnergy Label

I wanted to wait until I’ve owned this product long enough to give a fair review. I’m extremely pleased with it! The spin cycle is nice and quiet, the door although lightweight and easy to open/close feels robust. There are lots of wash cycles to choose from but in all honesty some will never be used. I agree with other reviewers though on the lack of a fast but proper wash cycle. However, the machine does weigh the load and will reduce wash time if appropriate. There is a 15 min cycle but I’d have liked a slightly longer one for a small load rather than a couple of items. Overall for the price it’s a great machine.

We recently purchased the white Hisense 5S 12kg load Washing machine (WF5S1245BW) from Amazon.The amount of programmes on offer far exceed our requirements. The machine cleans clothes really well, but some programmes exceed 2 hours, some up to 3 1/2 hours.What we (and most people) require is the option of a relatively short wash and a 1400 spin, which unfortunately isn’t an option with this machine. The Quick 15 wash turns to a 30 minute wash when using a 40 degree (maximum) wash and 800rpm (maximum) spin cycle, which is not ideal when using the dryer. To combat this, I carry out a separate (12 minute) spin at 1400rpm after the main programme has finished.If you have the matching Hisense dryer, you can use the WashDry Sync option which transfers the wash programme to the dryer.The programme we find works better for us is the auto wash as it weighs your clothes, washes and dispenses detergent and softener as required. Using this option, you can have a 1400rpm spin and a wash in normally under an hour (depending on load size). Also using this programme, you can add extra options: prewash, steam, extra rinse etc.To date we have not used the steam function, but I will do an update once this has been used.The auto dispense detergent and softener really help and we have now moved to liquid detergent. Up to now we have only used the auto dispense option, letting the machine decide how much detergent and softener is required during each wash. Using this setting, the softener required refilling after 5 days (10 loads), but the detergent remains pretty full (we have always said we use far too much detergent and softener, and hopefully the amount we use going forward will reduce). The amount of detergent and softener used during each wash can be changed in the settings. If you like using scent booster pellets and/or Oxy powder, these can be added to the main (powder) detergent drawer each wash.The ConnectLife App is a great addition but requires an update as remote access to the machine is removed after each wash when the washing cycle finishes and the machine shuts down. You have to re authorise the remote access to the ConnectLife App from the machine using the connect button, which defeats the object of being able to use and monitor the machine remotely.Having used the machine for six days, it is a great product but not without its faults/niggles.Of note, we also purchased the ‘matching’ white Hisense 5S 10kg load Dryer (DH5S102BW) which sits next to the washing machine in our utility room. We are very disappointed that the washing machine and dryer are different shades of white even though they are both 5S models and are advertised as a matching set. If these were on display in our kitchen, I would very disappointed with the difference in shade of both appliances.Beware of the colour shade difference if purchasing the matching dryer.

2 month updated review:It's still perfectly functional and I'm more than pleased with it. I love it. The steam function has come in useful after my cat decided to urinate on clean laundry. The drum is so big, I have managed to wash my superking duvet and put it away for the summer. Excellent product.Original review: Generally very pleased. I have an issue with the legs not moving up and down, but it doesn't affect performance at all. A good sized drum. Very quiet. Washes well.I enjoy the steam washes. I had an item which was always a bit fusty even after washing but this machine got it totally clean.It's pleasant to look at and pretty well built.

Will definitely be recommending to family and friend washing machine is fantastic works like a dream and haven’t had one fault with it had it 6 month know,cheaper than anywhere else so u was expecting a few scratches etc,but nope it was totally brand new in box,it look amazing Variety of programs:easy to use and has program I’ve never used yet, to can download an app and create your own wash cycles which is great,

Nice and cheap washing machine, it’s drum is small so would suit a couple not a family, it’s quiet and runs well, so happy with it over all, looking round this was one of the cheapest I could find. And had a quick delivery time
