12kg UltimateCare 700 Front load[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Electrolux 12kg UltimateCare 700 front-load washer, and it has genuinely transformed my laundry routine. The huge 12kg capacity means I can wash all my bedding in one go, and the IntelliQuick cycle cleans a full load in under an hour. I love how UltraMix dissolves detergent before it hits the drum and my clothes come out cleaner and softer every time. The steam refresh is perfect for shirts, and the Sanitise cycle gives me real peace of mind. It’s quiet, efficient, and incredibly gentle on fabrics. This machine has made laundry faster, easier, and surprisingly enjoyable.

Amazing!**Electrolux UltimateCare 700 – A Game-Changer in Laundry**
I’ve had my fair share of washing machines over the past few years, but the Electrolux UltimateCare 700 has truly impressed me. This is my third washer in just three years, and I can confidently say it’s the best one yet. Here's a breakdown of my experience:
**Quality of Washing:**
The washing quality is excellent. I was pleasantly surprised by how effectively it cleans even heavily soiled laundry. From everyday clothes to delicate fabrics, it does an outstanding job of getting everything clean without compromising the integrity of the material. Unlike my previous machines, I no longer have to worry about my laundry coming out dirty or ruined.
**Pet Fur and Lint Removal:**
As a pet owner, pet fur and lint have always been a hassle, especially when washing my dog’s bedding and clothes. But the Electrolux UltimateCare 700 is a game-changer in this regard. It removes pet hair and lint effortlessly, leaving everything looking fresh and fur-free. No more picking hair off clothes by hand or having to run an extra cycle to get rid of lint!
**Washes in Less Than an Hour:**
One of the most impressive features is the ability to wash a full load in under an hour. I’ve struggled with other machines that would take 2+ hours for a single load, but with the Electrolux, I can get things done quickly without sacrificing cleanliness. This is a huge time-saver, especially with a busy schedule.
**Amazing App Features:**
The accompanying app has been a game-changer. It selects the best cycle based on the type of laundry you’re doing, taking the guesswork out of washing. Whether you’re washing delicate fabrics, bedding, or everyday clothes, the app suggests the perfect cycle for optimal results. This feature has made laundry day so much easier!
**Previous Machines:**
To put this all in perspective, I’ve had a bit of a rough journey with washing machines over the past few years. I first purchased an LG 16/9 washer and dryer combo, which ended up flooding my house, and I had constant issues with spin cycles. It would wash for over 2.5 hours and would always come up with error messages. Then came the Samsung 14kg top loader, which was even worse. It not only ripped my clothes but also left laundry dirty, even after a full cycle. These issues made me incredibly frustrated, but the Electrolux UltimateCare 700 has turned that all around.
**Washes King-Size Bedding with Ease:**
One more thing worth mentioning is its ability to handle large items like king-size bedding. In the past, I’ve had trouble fitting or cleaning large bedding, but this machine handles it effortlessly, ensuring everything gets washed thoroughly, even large loads.
**Final Thoughts:**
The Electrolux UltimateCare 700 is by far the best washer I’ve owned. The quality of the wash, the ability to remove pet fur and lint, the fast wash cycle, and the innovative app features make it stand out in every way. If you’re tired of dealing with unreliable washers, I highly recommend this one. It’s worth every penny, and I’m finally excited about laundry day again.

Top notch washing machineThis is the first Electrolux washing machine we have purchased. We are extremely happy with it so far. Very economical, very quiet and washes in both cold and hot perfectly. We love the light inside the drum which helps with any stray sock finding! Very pleased and would highly recommend this product.

Excellent future focussed device that provides at all levels[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After my old machine spat one of its belts I knew I needed to modernise
This machines 12 kg capacity and intelligent washing function coupled to its energy efficiency/water saving allows for even the biggest load to be tackled with ease. No longer the winter quilts to the laundrette, this guy fits them adequately.
I am not sure I need a machine that can tell me what it’s doing from 1200km away but in the practicality stakes it saves me walking down to laundry to check it’s finished and suds with teenagers unable to fathom the complexity of laundry when you’re not in the house.
Brilliant purchase complements and fits our busy lifestyle and time poor days

Perfect Washing Machine for Everyday Use[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased an Electrolux washing machine and I’m extremely happy with it. The build quality feels very solid and premium. It runs very quietly compared to my old machine, and the wash cycles are efficient and save both water and energy. Clothes come out very clean, fresh, and with less creasing, which makes ironing so much easier.
I also like the user-friendly controls and the different cycle options—it’s simple to use but has enough smart features for convenience. The drum size is perfect for handling large loads, which really helps with family laundry.
Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase and would definitely recommend Electrolux washing machines to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality appliance.

AMAZING MACHINE, WORTH THE WAIT[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had to wait 8 weeks for my machine and it was worth it. This is my first front loader and I am obsessed. Easy to drive, great water consumption and my clothes and linen are brighter and fresher. I love the cycle choices and very quiet. Does wonders on my husbands and sons filthy work clothes as they are both in mechanical trades. Delicates are well looked after by this fantastic machine. I would highly recommend every household to own one.

I love it, but…[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought a couple of months ago and it’s run through many cycles. It’s a really great machine, but having owned an Electrolux washer in the past, I really miss the “mixed” mode. I know you can access it through the app but just wish it was there on the dial. I find it frustrating that many of the wash modes don’t allow you to choose a dry mode - it’s really hard to personalise each was as well, like some accept stain remover mode, some don’t, and you can’t choose all the temperatures for the shorter washes. So I love it… but… I wish some things were different. The sensor dry is amazing though - it’s quite reliable at reducing the time to dry depending on the dampness of the clothes. I do find that even on the highest drying level though, some thicker items like towels still need a quick line dry to be completely dry.
