For an appliance that’s supposed to make daily chores a bit easier, it can be a pain to choose the right one that’ll meet all your needs.
Whether you walk into a showroom or peruse your preferred online store, you’ll be confronted with a bewildering assortment of dull white boxes, each emblazoned with specs and buzzwords. Make no mistake, though: it’s impossible to choose the best washing machine by looks or specifications alone. Just like when you bring your new love interest home to your parents for their thoughts and approval, sometimes you just need someone to help you make the right decision. Yes, we did just compare a washing machine to a prospective romantic partner.
So, just like your parents, we’re here to give you our stamp of approval, for one washing machine in particular.
The Chinese Multinational brand Hisense, which has local manufacturing in Atlantis Cape Town is a very well known premium brand in South Africa offering a range of appliances from TV’s to Washing Machines.
Their offering to mankind is the Hisense 10kg Front Load washing machine which we’ve proudly awarded our Buy the Best Stamp of approval for Front loading washing machine.
If you’ve got a household filled with bustling kids, active adults and energetic doggos, this large capacity washing machine is perfect for you. Everything from towels to a king size duvet can fit in its extra large capacity and big access door. You’ll barely even know its there as it’s extremely quiet when in operation and offers 15 automatic preloaded washing programs, ensuring your washing is done right and your clothes are still spick and span.
The Brushless DC Motor provides the unit with a A+++ Energy rating making it extremely economical to run and very quiet when working, enabling you to watch TV whilst it does the work for you and without bothering you.
Finally, the Allergy or Baby Steam Care is a great function which protects your family from any allergens by using an intense jet of steam which kills and removes things such as dust mites and pet dander without damaging your clothes.
Design:
This 10kg front load washing machine has a Titanium Silver finish which will even look good in the most designer of kitchens. The front access door is much larger than the usual washing machines making loading and unloading an absolute breeze. We love the Pause & Add function which allows you to quickly add that shirt that your son brought down at the last minute or remove your date night dress that got mixed up in the load.
The LED Display with push buttons makes it extremely easy to use and all the options provided are more than adequate. The Inverter technology ensures a low cost operation and is extremely quiet when working on those stains.
Particular focus needs to be on following the user manual when setting it up as travel bolts need to be removed which protects the drum whilst in transport. The unit is also quite heavy (67kgs) so make sure you have someone to help you as installation could be a challenge if you are on your own.
Online Product Reviews:
It comes as no surprise that the Hisense 10kg Front Load Washing Machine is our Buy the Best product for the Front Loader Washing Machine Category. It has scored a whopping 4.7 out of 5 on Takealot from 41 reviews at the time of this product review.
The main positives of the unit is around the ease of use, quietness, capacity and how low in energy consumption it is. One reviewer managed to fit their king size duvet inner into the unit giving you a great option when doing the annual spring clean – especially with the Steam option which will destroy any dust mites that might be taking refuge in your bed.
The most helpful review came from Saschin who gave it 5 stars:
“Honestly, the best thing I ever bought with my adult money. This machine is so dam quiet! (Make sure you remove the transport bolts at the back, its a fricken mission because the rubber bushes are properly stuck in there – I had to use a plyers to pry them out) but everytime I put this machine on, I completely forget that it’s running. My clothes come out properly washed, no clumped washing powder stuck to them. Those 1400rpms for the spin function seriously do work! Just WOW is all I can say, Hisense did a stunning job here. It’s beautiful to look at, super quiet and dam easy to use, a huge load door and when setup properly – is SOOOO QUIET. I know you’re thinking of taking the cheaper 9kg version of this machine DON’T…. rather spend the money on this 10kg, it’s worth every cent and more.”
The main downside that reviewers found was the weight of the unit when installing so just make sure you have one or two helping hands when setting it up or calling your friendly handyman in your area to help you.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
