Pros and cons

According to our washing machine expert
  • FreshCare+ uses steam and drum motions after the washing cycle to keep your clothes airy and fresh for up to 6 hours longer.
  • Thanks to the large, 8-kilogram drum capacity, you'll wash more laundry in one go.
  • The durable brushless motor will last longer than a motor with carbon brushes.
  • The washing machine makes a lot of noise during the spin cycle with a noise level of 85 decibels.

Description

The Whirlpool FWF81683W EU ensures your laundry stays fresh for up to 6 hours after washing, thanks to the FreshCare+ technology. The washing machine does this by adding steam and gently moving the clothes around. This is useful when you have to stay at work longer or have to go to the supermarket. This way, you don't have to worry that your laundry will start smelling musty in the meantime. With the dial, you can choose between cycles for, wool, white linens, and gym clothes, for example. Thanks to the special structure of the drum, your clothes won't wear or unravel quickly. After each cycle, the detergent drawer is rinsed. That means no detergent residue is left behind and your laundry will keep coming out of the drum fresh.

Not recommended. Prolonged, awkward washing cycles

  • Quiet
  • Washing programs take way too long

The machine looks great, it fits a lot and it is nice and quiet. But otherwise I find it a very user-unfriendly device. There is a limited number of washing programs and within those programs you can not adjust much. If I opt for a slightly shorter washing program, I can never spin at the highest speed. So then I have to centrifuge separately again and it's another 10 minutes. There is 1 short wash cycle of 30 minutes that spins at a maximum of 800 rpm. The next shortest washing program lasts 1:20 hours and also spins at a maximum of 800 rpm. The shortest wash program that spins at the maximum number of hours lasts 3:05 hours. With those kind of washing times I have to do a wash every day instead of getting rid of all my laundry in 1 day.
I strongly advise against this machine for people who do not want to run the washing machine all day.

Coolblue: no false expectations and always with a smile!

  • User-friendly washing machine
  • Excellent washing result
  • Inexpensive washing machine with a high speed of no less than 1600 rpm
  • Can be tumble dried after spinning

We are particularly enthusiastic about the ease of use and ordering via Coolblue. We have now ordered many products. Once a product (compressor) was a bit disappointing in use, but without any discussion, the product can be returned without any obligation. Money was back in our account quickly.

If the washing machine we ordered had not met our expectations, we could have 'just' ordered another one within 30 days. You couldn't be more sure!

Very bad luck with an incorrectly manufactured item

  • Engine still with drive belt while the specifications stated that it was without

This washing machine is currently being advertised on the radio. After looking at the specs and the price, this seems like a good deal too. However, immediately after placing it it didn't feel right, the machine looks much 'cheaper' than in the photos here and the soap dish doesn't close very well, moreover the door has to be lifted because otherwise it will not fall into the lock.
The demonstration went very well and well if a washing machine washes and so does what it has to do I can live with this.

But after a few hours the test wash is ready and I want to run the first real wash. The drum is pushed back slightly because there is now content in it when the door closes. The machine is easy to use, everything speaks for itself. But even before the drum has turned 1 round, the back of the washing machine pops out because the drum cannot rotate freely and with every 5 cm that the drum turns a loud 'click'.
Immediately stopped the program. I checked whether I could replace the cover plate at the rear and whether there might be something that could be done about it. I soon found out that this copy was not put together properly. In addition, it could be seen that the motor drives the drum with a drive belt, while the specifications stated that this is not the case (which has now also been reported to customer service).

Fortunately, Cool blue is not the worst, so I made an appointment the next day to exchange the machine for another (different brand and type). No more Whirlpool for me, if a brand new machine can only work with an empty drum.... Build quality 'middle class', that is not worthy of this model
