Quietness
58

Reviewers call it quiet for a universal-motor top load

Each part is rated on one scale for every washing machine, from real tests where they exist, what reviewers found, specs, warranty and above all what owners report about washing, breakdowns and the brand's service. It rates the machine itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • Runs quietly
  • Heater helps shift stains and adds hygiene
  • Fair price for a heater model
  • Oceanus Wave drum
  • Heater and 15 programmes

Cons

  • Wash results not always even
  • Plain display
  • Lid and tub plastics feel cheap
  • Some doubt about long-term reliability
  • Page claims no child lock, though its own spec table lists one
  • MySmartPriceJun 2025

    Good-value quiet top load whose heater helps with stains, but wash results vary and it feels basic (7.5 kg HWM75-H826S6; a short store-page verdict, not a lab test).

  • A spec-sheet verdict on the 8 kg HWM80-H826S6: suits mid-size to larger families; not a hands-on test.
