Manual of product 3TS490X
Editorial note
The Balay 3TS490X washing machine stands out with its 9 kg washing capacity, ideal for handling large amounts of laundry at once, optimizing time and efficiency. Its maximum spin speed of 1200 rpm ensures well-spun laundry, thus reducing drying time. Additionally, the Fast+ function allows for quick washing for users in a hurry, while the integrated LED screen offers an intuitive interface for easy control of washing programs. Its energy efficiency class A also contributes to significant energy savings. However, some drawbacks are worth mentioning. The lack of a removable top may restrict integration options in specific spaces. Furthermore, the machine does not have the Rinse Plus function, which may affect rinsing efficiency, especially for heavily soiled clothes. The spin noise level of 71 dB can be relatively high, thus disturbing a quiet environment. Its weight of 72.5 kg complicates installation and movement, and the water consumption per cycle of 50 L, while ensuring effective washing, may be considered excessive in the long term. In terms of user experience, the product receives a score of 85, thanks to its clear and intuitive interface. Performance is solid with a score of 78, but limited by a few missing features. The modern and integrated design is rated at 80, although the absence of a removable top limits integration in certain spaces. The value for money is deemed fair with a score of 75, but aspects related to weight and water consumption raise concerns. Finally, while the provided documentation is helpful, it could be improved by including information on the missing advanced features. Overall, the Balay 3TS490X is a robust and efficient washing machine, but it has some limitations that could influence consumer choice.Score details
