Hisense 3 Series WFQA9014EVJM Freestanding 9 KG Front Load Washing Durable Inverter Machine Steam Wash Quick Wash 15 Washing Programs 1400 RPM White- Energy Rating AEnergy Label

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.

Previous washing machine was just over a year old and despite being a well branded one, horrible, programs began to fail and had a siren like alarm to tell you when a cycle was finished, used to wake up from my sleep, had to physically get up to go and open the door to stop the alarm from repeatedly going off, cba to repair, so much wrong with it, I bought the brand thinking well known brand it will be reliable, I was wrong. It only provided parts and techinical warranty. this one has been working from day one, it is intuitive and the programs work so far, one beep when it finishes and that's it, it was cheaper than the old one, got it on special and 2 reduction price sale and black Friday at the same time.So far no problems, I pad for amazon to install and take the old one away, very impressive service, just one recommendation, they left the old inflow pipe on to leave me a spare, but as it turned out the old pipe was leaking and I had to pull it out and replace it with the new one, not worth keeping the old one, saving time on them installing, but even though they did a short test, it wouldn't pick up that there was a leak until I started noticing my dog was doing big pees are the washing machhine, turned out to be a leak from washing machine.

The machine is Very quiet,all you can hear is the water filling and sloshing the clothes. Looks good and us easy to use.However the wash programmes are 2-3.1/2 hours long. So not great for a busy working family who needs it done asap. As many times as possible.however the end result was great. I could tell the difference from my old machine to this machine, everything is deep cleaned, I was shocked at how my old machine wasn't as good as it was almost 3 times the price over 10 yrs ago.It has a wash setting for duvets, pillows etc but the door opening seems a little small.The delivery guys were awesome. Took out the old put in the new and it's solid not a single vibration even on fast spin. They were polite and efficient and professional.

Had never heard of this brand before and was a bit sceptical about purchasing as all my previous washers have been indesit, but my last machine only lasted 3 years and had faults during that time. This washer is so much quieter than any I have owned before, there are so many variants of wash which can also be adjusted to your own needs, temperature, spin speed, hold off on softener, extra rinse etc. etc. I’ve had this for nearly a month and have no complaints. I got the 10kg drum and would highly recommend this washer. I installed this myself, removing the delivery bolts and adjusting the feet was straightforward. No issues with delivery.
