Manual of product 3TS494X
Editorial note
The Balay 3TS494X washing machine stands out for its high energy efficiency, rated A, allowing for savings on energy bills while reducing environmental impact. With a washing capacity of 9 kg, it is ideal for families or users with a large amount of laundry to process at once. Its modern stainless steel design and front loading optimize space in the laundry room while adding an elegant touch. However, some drawbacks are worth mentioning. Weighing 73.5 kg, its installation or movement can be challenging, especially in tight spaces. Additionally, the maximum washing cycle duration of 228 minutes may be too long for users in a hurry. The lack of a load balancing system could lead to excessive vibrations, and although the spin efficiency class is B, some competitors offer superior performance. Regarding writing scores, user experience is valued with a score of 85, thanks to practical features like delayed start and remaining time indication. Washing performance is solid, but the score of 78 highlights cycle duration as an area for improvement. The product design is particularly well-rated with a score of 90, while the value for money is deemed satisfactory with a score of 80. However, improvements could be made in documentation and customer support, which are rated at 65 and 70, respectively. In summary, the Balay 3TS494X is a solid choice for those seeking a high-performing and energy-efficient washing machine, while being aware of the limitations related to its weight and washing cycle duration.Score details
