This washing machine takes up very little space for a 9-kilogram model. All my bedding fits in the drum at once. So I wash large loads in one go. The automatic dosing always uses the right amount of detergent and the hygienic steaming program washes extra thoroughly. With the stain function, I can easily remove annoying stains from my clothes if I have spilled something. Does the program take too long? Then I shorten it with the boost function.
First impression
The first thing I notice is that the washing machine is quite shallow for a 9-kilogram model. I like this, because it takes up less space in my laundry room. Fortunately, a good amount of laundry fits in it. I have quite large bedding, which to my surprise fits in the drum at once. The display is large and clear. I do notice that I quickly see fingerprints.
Automatic detergent dosing
One of the reasons I like this washing machine so much is the automatic detergent dosing. In the detergent drawer I find the reservoirs that I fill with my own detergent. I leave the fabric softener reservoir empty, because I don't use softener. Unfortunately, I can't add a second type of detergent for white laundry, for example. I use the normal detergent compartment for this. Thanks to the automatic dosing, I use a lot less detergent. This means my clothes are cleaner, because no detergent residue remains in my laundry. In addition, the washing machine saves water and energy, because it doesn't have to rinse extra.
Hygienic steaming
A program that I like to use for my bedding is the hygienic steaming program. Thanks to the steam, the washing machine removes bacteria and allergens. Great, because my girlfriend's skin is somewhat sensitive to detergent and dust mites. Now I know for sure that my clean sheets come out of the drum extra hygienically, which means my partner sleeps better.
Stain function
On the display of the washing machine I see that this washing machine has a special function for specific stains. This is a big plus for me, because I am sometimes quite clumsy when eating. I see functions for food, drinks, sports, make-up and stubborn stains. I use the sports function a lot when my nephews come to stay for the weekend. They love playing outside and often come back with grass stains on their clothes.
Shorten the program with boost
When I run a normal eco program, I notice that this program takes quite a long time. If I wash a full drum, the program takes more than 3.5 hours. Fortunately, the washing machine has a boost function. This makes it easy to shorten the long programs. This way I can run multiple loads of laundry in one day.
