Smeg WDF14C7 7Kg / 4Kg Washer Dryer - White

Some doubts but hope as well

"In December I bought a SMEG WDF14C7 washer dryer instead of an AEG one which couldn’t be delivered quick enough. I never heard of this make before. First look was slightly disappointing - the door could be bigger, function control display is not full LED so some “neighbouring” functions are “lit” a little bit too... But amber color is very nice. Installation was easy (only removal of plastic spacers on the back was a bit tricky). Well. I levelled machine very thoruoghly using spirit level as suggested in manual. First washing was a surprise: device is pretty quiet, washing time is longer (on 40 C cottons it is 55 minutes instead 32 in my previous BOSCH, rinse time is 1h 5 m instead of 52 m in BOSCH. I also like “water plus” option as well as good choice of temperatures: cold, 30, 40, 60, 75 and 90 C. What I found particularly well designed is double-glazing of the loading door - it prevents accidents of burns when using washing temperatures over 60 C! Setting programmes is clear and easy. Machine is slightly more noisy when spinning but I didn’d find too disturbing. But even after only 800 rpm wash was more than half-dry! Impressive indeed. I also like “clean” programme - many washing machine users never remember to do that at all. I didn’t use drying programme yet but I hope it will be all right as well. So far so good!"

excellent machine

Pros: Ease to use, Good build quality, Looks good, Value for money

Cons: None

"I had a built in SMEG at my last house and was impressed so when I moved and needed a free standing machine I checked out SMEG first and really glad I did! Very clean laundry, spin cycle is very efficient as is the tumble dry function. It is a bit louder than the smaller capacity machine at my previous address but is a small distraction from the overall quality of the machine. I particularly like the ability to adjust the factory settings on the programmes to suit my wash loads."
