Description of the washing machine

Front-loading washing machine

The machine's capacity is only 5 kg when fully loaded. However, this is still plenty for regularly washing bed linens, towels, and clothes for the whole family.

Despite the machine's relatively low price, it offers excellent functionality. More on that later.

Wash quality

The machine has the highest washing class, letter A.

In addition to the standard package of programs for washing basic fabric types (synthetics, delicates, cotton), programs have also been provided that will ensure the most gentle washing for items that should only be washed by hand.

An excellent program called "Daily Wash" will clean clothes you've worn just a few times in just half an hour. Moreover, you can wash all colors and types of linen by setting the temperature to 30 degrees Celsius.

This "quick wash" mode will help you save up to 30% of the time of one wash cycle, and the "super economy" mode will help you save the amount of energy consumed (although the wash will take a little longer).

Spin quality

The Indesit WISL 105 washing machine's maximum spin speed reaches 1000 rpm, which is generally considered low. However, at this speed, the machine will spin synthetics well, but cotton and other thick fabrics will require additional drying.

The spin speed can be reduced depending on the type of laundry. The minimum spin speed is 400 rpm. However, if you're concerned about the fabric's safety, you can turn off the spin function completely.

Ease of use

Thanks to the clear interface, the machine is easier to operate than ever.

An excellent set of functions, including not only basic modes, will allow you to clean absolutely any clothing, regardless of the level of dirt and type of fabric.

And thanks to the built-in timer for delayed start of washing, the machine can start washing at any time convenient for you, even if you are not at home.

Pros and cons of the Indesit WISL 105 (CIS) washing machine

Pros

• Ease of control,
• excellent display,
• the ability to regulate temperature and speed,
• compactness,
• low price for such a large set of functions.

Cons

• noise during spinning.

General impression

For those with limited living space and budget, this machine is perfect. The only thing that might spoil your enjoyment is the noise during the spin cycle, but it's quite tolerable. To avoid additional noise and vibration, we recommend carefully leveling the machine.

If you want the perfect machine with a 2000 rpm spin and noise reduction, we recommend increasing your budget. Keep in mind that you'll likely spend double or even triple the amount.

If you want a simple machine for everyday tasks, then you should definitely buy the Indesit WISL 105 washing machine.
