The best inverter washing machines with a large load (from 7 kg)

Bosch WDU 28590

Rating: 4.9

Nowadays washing machine manufacturers have begun to refuse completely flat side panels. More and more often they get some kind of pattern. Have it and the sides Bosch WDU 28590. The creators of this model are counting on the fact that the device will stand apart from all other devices. But for this washing machine will need a large room, because its dimensions are 60x65x85 cm.

Inside this model there is not only a plastic tank and a steel drum. In addition the manufacturer has equipped its creation with a dryer. The only pity is that this element of construction works only by timer – it is not able to orient on residual moisture. But better than no drying at all! By the way, it can only work with a 6-kilogram load, while the manufacturer stated a maximum of 10 kg.

This appliance offers the user 14 washing programs. You can also make use of additional functions. For example, steam will allow the powder to penetrate as deeply into the fabric as possible. The prevention of crumpling also looks useful. The beginning of the wash can be delayed, which is relevant for people who pay for electricity at night at a reduced rate. The washing machine should not wake you up, because it does not make more than 47dB of noise. Only during the spinning the noise level rises to 71 dB, but this process is very short-lived. And this option is only valid for wringing at the max speed of 1400rpm, which you won’t use for every wash.

Experts awarded Bosch WDU 28590 with energy class A. In fact, this is not the highest rating. But it is quite acceptable for a full-sized model. This machine also has spin class B. Do not be alarmed by this assessment, it is only fair at the maximum load of the drum, which is very difficult to achieve. It can be said about the water consumption, which can be up to 125 liters. However, even with half the load, the water is wasted quite a lot, which is unlikely to please any of the buyers.

Otherwise, it is a typical modern washing machine. It has leak protection, and its control panel can be locked. Electronics intelligently monitors the foam level and imbalance. A nice bonus is the drum lighting, making sure you don’t forget any handkerchief inside.

Advantages

• There is a timer for delaying the beginning of the washing;
• Not particularly high noise level;
• There is a drum light;
• A large number of modes and additional programs;
• There is a child and water leakage protection;
• Huge capacity;
• It has a built-in dryer.

Disadvantages

• Increased water consumption;
• Energy consumption can not be called particularly low;
• High cost;
• The dryer works only by time.

LG TW4V7RW1W

Rating: 4.8

This washing machine stands out quite a lot. It can boast a huge loader hood that has a wide rim. In the upper part of the device is the usual silver drum, which serves to select the program. To the right of it, there is a display and touch buttons, thanks to which you can activate the additional functions. For example, steam and crease prevention are available to the user. Pressing just one button allows you to forget about the iron in many cases!

The LG TW4V7RW1W has a total of 14 programs. You can select them, including through your smartphone. However, many people use it only to receive notification of the end of washing, because the corresponding signal can not be heard. If we talk about washing quality, then it is almost impossible to pick on it, as evidenced by the corresponding class A.

The dimensions of this model are 60x56x85 cm. You have to put a lot of effort in order to carry this appliance into your apartment because it weighs up to 70kg. Even the drum of this washing machine is quite heavy. But it can hold 10.5 kilograms of laundry! The inverter motor can spin a fully-charged drum at up to 1400 rpm! Be warned right away that any lacy panties may be torn by this spin. So choose the drum rotation speed responsibly!

In short, it is a great washing machine. You can’t even complain about the water consumption, which is 55 liters per cycle on average. By the way, you can connect it not only to your smartphone. The South Korean manufacturer announced support for Smart Home integration from Google, Amazon and even Yandex. It is difficult to complain about the noise level of this model. During washing and spinning, it is 53 and 71 dB, respectively.

Advantages

• Can be connected to a smartphone and “smart home”;
• Huge capacity;
• An imputed water flow rate;
• The protection against water leaks is implemented;
• A large number of programs and additional functions;
• Low noise level;
• Loading of laundry is available.

Disadvantages

• High cost;
• Not the lowest power consumption.

Electrolux EW7F3R48S

Rating: 4.7

Another quality washing machine, equipped with an inverter motor. It has a large loading hatch that has a dark gray trim. In the upper part of the device is a drum, offering 14 modes of operation. On the right of it you can find the display and numerous buttons, with which you can select special programs. Among the latter, you can find the steam, and the stain removal program, and much more. The only thing missing is the crease prevention. Also the control panel allows you to activate the delay timer to start the wash.

It measures 60x57x85cm. It is easy to guess that in such a monster should fit a very large amount of laundry. However, if the machines considered above boast of record results, here this parameter is only 8 kg. Whether this is enough for your family is up to you to decide. With the main task of the device copes properly, as evidenced by the washing efficiency class A. But even more pleasing is the energy class A+++. Which means it’s unlikely you’ll see a change in your energy bill when you buy it.

Everything is clear with the washing. And how does the machine cope with the spin? Perfect! This is evidenced by the appropriate class A, which can boast not every full-size model. Although, in terms of drum rotation speed, the machine does not differ from many competitors – 1400 rpm is available at most. The secret of success lies in the fact that, before spinning, the electronics intelligently distributes the laundry on the drum.

Otherwise, it’s a typical washing machine. It does not have a dryer. There is also no function of additional loading of laundry. And the leak protection is implemented, as there is a protection against children who like to press all sorts of buttons. Also, built-in electronics monitor the imbalance and foam level, stopping the drum rotation in time.

It remains to add that the noise level emitted during washing and spinning reaches 51 and 75 dB. This washing machine is not particularly loud, although it is not completely silent.

Advantages

• Decent capacity, though not a record;
• Easy to learn operation;
• Very high power class;
• Excellent spinning;
• There is protection against children and water leaks;
• A large number of programs;
• There is a timer to delay the start of the wash;
• Not particularly high noise level.

Disadvantages

• High cost.

Samsung WD70J5410AW

Rating: 4.7

Another full-sized washing machine. Its dimensions are 60x58x85 cm. You can safely say that it should squeeze through even a very narrow door to the bathroom. And for sure it has to get into the kitchen without any problems. Here it will also feel great at the expense of not the highest noise level. When washing and spinning, it reaches 54 and 73 dB, respectively. However, let’s clarify that the above dimensions are true with the top cover removed. If it is not removed, the washing machine will be noticeably puffier, which will make some doorways a problem for it.

This model has a very large loading hatch. Through it, it is possible to place about 7 kg of laundry inside the drum. It seems that the manufacturer has saved the most on capacity. But you can buy this machine for only 45 thousand euros. Bosch WAN 28290 is a pretty low price tag for a full-sized model.

Experts awarded the Samsung WD70J5410AW with A-grades. This also applies to the washing efficiency, spinning efficiency, and power consumption. To be precise, during the final spin phase, the drum rotates at a speed of 1400 rpm. T-shirts after that get completely dry, and you only need to dry clothes from thicker fabric. And you can do it right in the washing machine! The thing is that it has a built-in dryer. But it can run only if you have not loaded more than 5 kilograms of laundry. In total, the dryer has two programs, and it is oriented to the residual moisture. So it can run until the laundry is completely dry.

Going back to washing, the appliance offers 14 modes. Also the owner of the machine will be able to take advantage of the many special programs. For example, Samsung WD70J5410AW can soak the laundry or perform an intensive rinse to get rid of all traces of powder. It is a pity that the machine is not equipped to prevent creasing and delivery of steam.

Alas, but this model has not only advantages. The most embarrassing is the water consumption, which is about 77 liters. Also, some may be intimidated by the fact that the leak protection here is only partial. But the manufacturer has not forgotten about the child lock and foam level control, not to mention the imbalance. A nice bonus can be considered a bubble washing – in practice, however, it is difficult to say whether it is better than conventional.

Advantages of

• It is possible to set the time to complete the wash;
• The washing machine is quite quiet;
• A ceramic heating element is used;
• A large number of programs;
• Excellent spinning;
• Built-in dryer is present.

Disadvantages

• Quite a serious water consumption;
• The capacity could be larger;
• You have to remove the top cover to reduce the depth.

Bosch WAN 28290

Rating: 4.7

Another washing machine, one of the sides of which has a textured pattern. This means that the appliance will look perfect if it is not constrained by anything else. You also have a nice view at the front. The machine has a silver fringed boot door. Above it is a mode selector, which is also chrome. Well, on the side of it there is a display, complete with many touch buttons. The latter, by the way, suffer from insufficiently fast response, which takes some getting used to.

This model can hold 8kg of laundry. Not a record, but it is quite enough for many families. The drum is spun by an inverter motor, which is reliable and very quiet. This motor is capable of maximum rotation of the drum up to 1400 rpm. No wonder that the experts awarded the Bosch WAN 28290 with the spinning efficiency class A. You don’t even need a dryer.

This model is full-size, its depth is 55 cm. Usually such washing machines consume electricity with great appetite. But it is impossible to say the same about the German creation. You need about 0.13 kWh per kilogram of laundry. Therefore, do not be surprised that the technical specifications specified energy class A+++. Nothing bad can be said about the water consumption – in this regard, the machine is also very economical, for one cycle takes about 55 liters. Of course, if you activate the soak or prewash, the water consumption will increase, but these additional programs will not make the machine a real spender.

In total, Bosch WAN 28290 offers 15 modes of operation. As mentioned above, there are additional programs, but nothing particularly interesting among them, we are already used to everything. If you pay for electricity during the day and night at different rates, then you will like the presence of a timer for delaying the start of the wash. You can respect the manufacturer even after you learn that they have implemented a complete leakage protection. He also introduced the possibility of locking the control panel, so that children do not accidentally start this device.

Advantages

• There is a protection against children and water leaks;
• There is a timer for delaying the start of washing;
• A large number of washing programs;
• Excellent spinning;
• The maximum power consumption class;
• Not a very high water consumption;
• Easy to learn operation;
• A decent capacity;
• Low noise level.

Disadvantages

• Not the best display;
• High price;
• Low response speed of the touch keys.

Hotpoint-Ariston RSD 8239 DX

Rating: 4.6

Many full-sized washing machines cost a lot of money. This is logical, because they are more difficult to produce, are in less demand, and their delivery requires other labor costs. But there are exceptions to the rule. For example, for the Hotpoint-Ariston RSD 8239 DX in Russian stores are asked no more than 33 thousand. rubles. However, this model cannot be called truly full-size, because its depth is 47 cm. But who cares if the capacity of this machine reaches 8 kg?

The manufacturer tried to save only on the materials of which the body of the appliance is made. You can notice yourself that more expensive models look a little more beautiful. To the components of this machine is noticeably more difficult to pick on. The drum here is driven by an inverter motor. Direct drive speaks of high efficiency and a long service life. And you are unlikely to complain about the volume of the engine! Nothing bad can be said about the control panel. By the way, it can be locked – so that the child did not accidentally turn on anything.

As it should be, the device has got a timer to delay the start of washing. It will be useful for those who pay an economical electricity tariff at night. In total, there are 16 washing programs to choose from. In addition, the machine has received additional modes. For example, direct injection can come in handy. Well, and the super rinse is also a useful program, especially if you have a baby in the family.

Washing is as effective as possible, as evidenced by the corresponding class A. The process is not very energy-consuming. Want confirmation? Have a look at the technical specifications in the user manual – this mentions energy efficiency class A+++. Only spin class B is able to strain. The experts’ opinion was influenced by the fact that the motor is not capable of spinning the drum at speeds higher than 1200 rpm. With this spin would not hurt the built-in dryer, but the manufacturer abandoned it, as we know, in favor of a lower price.

Hotpoint-Ariston RSD 8239 DX is definitely worth the money. But you should not expect anything supernatural from this machine. It will not give you control from your smartphone, there is not even a function “Crease Prevention”. So, this model will appeal to those for whom the most important thing is a huge capacity, and from the additional features he is able to give up.

Advantages

• You can load 8 kg of laundry;
• Not particularly high noise level;
• Modest size;
• Very low power consumption;
• There’s childproofing;
• A huge number of washing programs;
• Not forgotten the timer for the delayed start of washing;
• Not a very high price.

Disadvantages

• Leak protection – only partial;
• There are no some very important additional modes.

The best inverter washing machines with a load capacity of 6-7 kg

Electrolux PerfectCare 600 EW6S3R26SI

Rating: 4.9

Our rating could not do without narrow washing machines. They have now also started to get an inverter motor. Usually, these models can boast the lowest power consumption. For example, the Electrolux PerfectCare 600 EW6S3R26SI spends only 0.13 kWh per kilo of laundry. This allowed the experts to award this model with the appropriate A grade+++.

The depth of this appliance is 38 cm. It seems that with this parameter you can expect a tiny capacity. But no, you can fit 6kg of laundry in the drum. And the motor is even capable of speeding it all up to 1200 rpm! However, even this spinning does not guarantee spinning quality, as the corresponding class C shows. You will have to reconcile yourself to the fact that the clothes and bed linen will have to dry on a rope for a very long time.

But let’s get back to the laundry. In total, the user is given 14 basic programs. Among them, there are almost all necessary modes. Buttons to the right of the selector switch allow you to activate additional programs. This is how you can order the machine to prevent the wrinkling of laundry. It even has a steam assist function! However, this feature is not implemented here in the best way – we still should not hope for ideal penetration of the powder into the depths of fabric. Also, using this program makes the process take longer, which is also not to everyone’s liking.

It is easy to guess that such a compact washing machine will not consume large amounts of water. And indeed, a full wash requires only 48 liters. The buyer should also be pleased with the protection against leaks. However, this model is not cheap, so it could not do without such protection. The manufacturer could not ignore the possibility of locking the control panel, so that children do not accidentally turn on the machine, standing in the bathroom or kitchen. He also did not forget to add a delayed start timer here.

Well, what other disadvantages does the Electrolux PerfectCare 600 EW6S3R26SI have, if we forget about not particularly good spinning? The only problem is the noise level. If during the washing is still okay, then during the spinning at maximum speed the noise level rises to 77 dB. However, many washing machines of such a modest depth suffer from this misfortune.

Advantages

• Very high energy class;
• Compact size;
• Low water consumption;
• There is protection against children and water leaks;
• A large number of programs and additional modes;
• Not forgotten is the timer for delaying the start of the wash;
• Large for its size capacity.

Disadvantages

• Not the best spin;
• Decent noise level.

Bosch WLL 24265 OE

Rating: 4.8

This washing machine is almost entirely painted white. It has a pattern on the side walls, which more and more of such appliances start to boast of. Inside is a drum made of stainless steel. It’s hooked up to an inverter motor capable of spinning 6.5 kilograms of laundry.

This model corresponds to energy efficiency class A+++. This is good news for those who are afraid of higher electricity bills. The water consumption is not particularly high here. This is nice, because the size of the tank inside turned out to be quite large. As for the dimensions of the device itself, they are 59.8×48.6×84.8 cm. So the Bosch WLL 24265 OE is somewhere on the border between the slim and full-size models.

The front of this model has a 32 cm wide draft door. Above it is the control panel, which includes a segment display. With the appropriate selector you can choose one of the 15 washing programs. There are also additional modes, but among them you can only highlight prewash – there is no steam or crease prevention. The beginning of the wash can be delayed – the machine boasts a timer. The process is accompanied by control of foam and imbalance. No complaints about washing quality, otherwise experts would not have given the machine an A-rating.

After washing and rinsing begins to spin. It can be performed at the maximum drum rotation speed of 1200 rpm. Somehow, the manufacturer has not perfected all the same, and therefore this model can boast only of spinning efficiency class B. Also embarrassing is the noise that occurs during spinning – it sometimes reaches 75 dB.

Otherwise, this is a typical washing machine in this price segment. It has leak protection, and its warranty period is 1 year. In short, it won’t be a bad buy, especially if you’re willing to put up with the disadvantages described above.

Advantages

• A decent capacity for this size;
• High power consumption class;
• Does not consume particularly large amounts of water;
• There is protection against water leaks;
• A large number of washing programs;
• Not forgotten is the timer for the delayed start of washing;
• Easy to learn operation.

Disadvantages

• The child protection is not implemented;
• There are no some useful additional modes.

LG F-10B8MD

Rating: 4.7

The cheapest washing machine with an inverter motor finishes our pick. And it is the engine that is the main advantage of this model. It can boast of a considerable service life, the South Koreans even provided it separately with a 10-year warranty period! Everything else about this appliance is noticeably simplified.

The depth of LG F-10B8MD is 44 cm. Such parameter allowed the manufacturer to equip their creation only with the drum, able to contain 5.5 kg of laundry. It is loaded through a 30-centimeter hatch, which has a white trim. There is no silver chrome at all. Even the mode selector is white. It, by the way, provides 13 programs. There are also all sorts of additional modes. The most interesting of them is the “Crease Prevention” – sometimes the cloths are really almost not crumpled at the output.

Washing can be deferred. The process ends satisfactorily, as evidenced by the appropriate A-rating. The appliance also deserves a similar rating in terms of energy consumption, although in this case it is no longer the maximum. As for the spin, it corresponds to class B. No wonder as the motor spins up the drum with laundry only up to 1000 rpm.

In other respects it is a typical budget washing machine. It has a leakage protection, but only partial. It also has a child safety feature. Not forgotten is the electronics that monitors foaming and imbalance.

It remains to add that the LG F-10B8MD may be considered as a moderately noisy washing machine. If you take the appropriate spin measurements, they will show about 74 dB.

Advantages

• Modest size;
• There is protection against children and water leaks;
• A large number of modes and additional programs;
• There is a timer for the delayed start of washing;
• Not a very high water consumption;
• Low cost.

Disadvantages

• Not a very large capacity;
• Not the highest power consumption class;
• Not the best spin;
• the water stays in the cuff.

Conclusion

Washing machines started to be equipped with an inverter motor just 10-15 years ago. Since then they have become noticeably more durable. Also, such a motor allows the device to quickly change the drum rotation speed, which has a positive effect on the quality of washing. And needless to say, many washing machines with inverter motor can be placed even in the kitchen, as they are almost noiseless?
