Electrolux SensorWash EWF9043BDWA (9kg) Questions

Hi there, I’m looking at purchasing this model but after reading a few different reviews on other sites, I’m a bit hesitant mainly because of the comments regarding the lack of satisfactory results regarding the spin cycle. Apparently clothes still comes out feeling very wet even after choosing 1200 option, has anyone experienced this with their purchase? Cheers

Has anyone had this machine for a while and regularly washed delicates? My old Bosch used to do well on this but for the last year or two it's been eating my wools and silks. It's cold enough here to snow in winter, so I use these fabrics enough to get them dirty ...

The delicates cycle and the sports cycle for Lycra gear are both great. I use them several times a week and every item washes beautifully.

I read a few disappointing claims that most of the washing options are only 5kgs. Only if you do the Cotton wash, do you get the 9kg rating and also that it takes 2hrs!! Can anyone confirm?

The Cotton wash and the Eco wash are the two that take a full 9kg. The Cotton wash is a sensor wash so although initially it gives the maximum time, after a few minutes it shortens that according to the amount of dirt coming off the clothing. I find that the real washing time might only be half of the initial time because generally our sheets, towels and clothing are just lightly soiled. The same goes for all of the sensor cycles. Only 3 cycles have a set duration- Quick 15 min, Daily 60 min and almost 5 hours for the Eco cycle There are cycles for 5.5 kg, 4 kg, 3 kg, 2kg and 1.5 kg for delicates, wool, Lycra, bedding etc. With all the cycles there is a range of temperatures and spin speeds. Plus a 10 min spin and a tub clean cycle. With a family of 5, I am very happy with the superior clean, powerful spin, range of cycle options and quiet noise level of this machine. The way it mixes the washing agents before they go into the tub is also excellent. The big wide door opening is another plus. Just chose do you want 9 kilo or 10 kilo!

The settings are just glorified names. If you put in 1.5kg of clothes then you can probably getting away with a 15minute quick wash. 4-5kgs maybe an hour wash. If you put in 9kg of towels or clothes then your going to need to do a 2 hour wash. Just because the “wool” wash says 5kg doesn’t meant you can’t do a 9kg load just change the settings. This machine is fantastic all you need to know.

Anyone having trouble with the washing powder caking in the draw. I'm using fab. And yes the flap is in the powder position.

Yes I had it and I registered a fault under warranty as I could not use powder and liquid was also an issue. In the end, long story, great technician (after second attempt) replaced the entire housing for the soap dispenser and it works perfectly now. It was very lose before, not so now. You should have a tech look at it and don’t let them tell you it’s you and not the machine like the first guy did to me.
