The best front load washer choice in the market[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After 5 other front load washing machines in 12 years we finally settled on this Electrolux front loader. This is the best value for money in the market in our opinion, it sits in the sweet spot regarding price and features. It has features of more expensive machines and better wash options than cheaper priced machines. A solidly constructed machine with good warranty it is used twice daily for a busy family wash and we are impressed with its 12kg capacity. Its auto dispenser is easy to use and our clothes are cleaner than we have experienced. Nothing is completely perfect, some cycles can be long, which is common with front loaders, but the ‘intelligent’ wash feature gives you a large range of choices and you do have short cycles you can use. You need to be familiar with the manual to get the best from this washer but we are convinced it is the best option available in the market.

Works well[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works well so far but would like to be able to have the machine stop at the rinse cycle to make it easier to remove drip dry items. This was a feature on an older machine from this company

Questions & Answers
Model EWF1242R950 12kg front load washer
What is the Drum Volume in litres
Asked by: Anonymous
Thanks for your question Ross. Most manufacturers don't provide the literage size of internal drums. This is due to variances in wash cycles, where some refill or partially fill. Max use for a cycle in this model is 103L per wash, and a maximum load capacity of 12kg. Hope this helps clarify! ^CO
