Best Front-Loading Washer Dryers with 6–7 kg Capacity

The Candy Smart Pro CSOW4 4644TWMB6-S is a “smart” model with an inverter Speed-Drive motor and an effective Quick Clean detergent dissolution system.

The smart functionality of the machine is tied to remote control from a smartphone, connecting via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. From a mobile device, you can set the device's operating modes and receive useful laundry tips. In particular, the Snap&Wash assistant will suggest the most suitable program for a specific amount and color of laundry — you just need to take a photo of the items with a smartphone camera.

The washer-dryer unit has a 45 cm deep body, and the drum can load up to 6 kg of laundry for washing and up to 4 kg for combined cycles with drying. The rotary knob for selecting modes features 16 automatic programs. Five fast cycles lasting up to 1 hour are highlighted in blue (one includes steam supply).

Effective stain removal is ensured by the aforementioned Quick Clean system — it helps form a concentrated mixture of clean water and detergent for removing stubborn dirt from clothes. Lastly, it’s worth mentioning the inverter motor’s efficiency — its energy efficiency corresponds to class A (new).

The Indesit EWDE 7528 washer-dryer from the Apennine Peninsula belongs to the class of affordable full-size "2-in-1" solutions.

The model accommodates up to 7 kg of dry items for washing programs and up to 5 kg of laundry for mixed drying modes. Out of the 16 automatic programs, precisely 5 are quick cycles (three wash options lasting up to 1 hour and two wash with drying options up to one and a half hours). Another 6 programs are specialized cycles for various fabric types, and the rest include additional options like rinsing, spinning, water draining, cotton, and synthetic drying.

The machine operates under an economical inverter drive with an energy efficiency rating of A. Program selection and additional options are made using a button panel with a central rotary knob. Programs are numbered from "1" to "16" — their decoding is provided on a separate insert at the top left.

A downside of the washer is the noisy spin cycle, carried out at a drum speed of up to 1200 rpm. The noise level can reach 78 dB. Other significant drawbacks are absent — it accomplishes washing and drying tasks at a commendable quality level without any unnecessary queries.

The Beko HTV 7616 XW inverter control machine combines washer and dryer functions in one narrow body. Its maximum load for washing programs is up to 7 kg, and for drying cycles — up to 4 kg.

Inside the model is a brushless ProSmart motor characterized by low energy consumption and increased durability. Water is heated by a reliable heating element with a nickel-plated coating that reduces scale formation. The machine’s software arsenal includes 15 automatic modes, including the DrumClean+ self-cleaning drum function with AirTherapy warm air circulation technology.

Standard modes are supplemented with specialized programs like washing and drying 1 kg of items in 60 minutes (Wash & Wear), the Hygiene+ Wash & Dry hygiene cycle, and the SteamCure steam mode. In washing programs, the machine's energy efficiency is marked by a high B (new) rank. Noise during spinning at a maximum drum speed of up to 1200 rpm reaches 75 dB, and in drying mode — about 66 dB.

Beko HTV 7616 XW features a classic control panel with touch buttons, an info display, and a rotary mode selection knob. At the same time, access to the washer-dryer functions is provided via a smartphone over Wi-Fi, for which you need to install the HomeWhiz mobile app on your phone. The convenience of such smart management is obvious.

The washer from Samsung includes several exclusive features that set it apart from competitors. It features an EcoBubble generator, which facilitates bubble washing. This is intended to effectively remove stubborn dirt and comes as an option (called intensive soaking) with five standard cycles, including cotton, synthetics, and daily wash.

The Samsung WD70T4047CE is equipped with a digital inverter with a 10-year official warranty. Another signature feature is Volt Control, which provides protection against voltage spikes. The washing machine not only removes dirt and performs spinning (at speeds up to 1400 rpm) but also performs steam treatment and full drying. In washing cycles, the maximum load is limited to 7 kg of laundry, and in drying — 5 kg.

Users are offered 12 programs: 9 are focused exclusively on washing. Here, it’s worth mentioning the Drum Clean self-cleaning and Hygiene Steam Hypoallergenic treatment: the mode is suitable for removing allergens and pathogens. The remaining 3 programs include drying, drying + washing, and AirWash refresh (removal of odors with hot air circulation). For drying, both auto and manual modes are available (with cycle time settings).

Interesting features of the model include a wash end timer and a special detergent tray construction. It ensures complete washing without residues and contamination. The device is also not overly noisy (up to 73 dB), and shortcomings include a not too high energy consumption rating (A without pluses) and relatively high water consumption (up to 98 liters per cycle), but for washer-dryers, this isn't unusual. The Samsung WD70T4047CE is an excellent representative of the mid-price segment of washer-dryer units.

Advanced washers from the 700 series Electrolux PerfectCare are notable for SteamCare technology, which provides clothes with steam refreshment. This is not the only significant advantage of the model in question.

The main advantage of the EW7WO447WU machine is the combination of washing and drying functions in one unit. For washing programs, the load can be up to 7 kg of dry laundry, and for drying cycles — up to 5 kg of items. The machine is full-sized, with a body depth of about 55 cm. The inner drum surfaces of Care Drum machines resemble a pillow in texture. During washing, a thin water film covers the drum holes, ensuring gentle treatment of items.

To avoid re-washing clothes, the Sensi Care load-weighing system is used. Cycle adjustment based on fabric types is handled by the accompanying Dual Care system. It selects optimal temperature parameters and suitable drum spin algorithms for delicate care of each item.

Electrolux PerfectCare 700 EW7WO447WU's software portfolio includes 14 automated modes. The model operates under the guidance of an economical inverter motor with energy efficiency class A (new). The washer-dryer is perfect for small families of 2–3 people, offering reliable service for many years.
