Would you consider buying a compact front load washer for a small home?

CHiQ has added the WFL60SW1, a 6kg front load washing machine, to its Australian laundry range. The model completes the brand's front load line-up alongside its 8.5kg and 10kg models.

Why it matters

The washer's slim 465mm cabinet depth and compact footprint suit smaller homes, apartments and tight laundry spaces. It gives Australian buyers a smaller-capacity option within the CHiQ range.

The WFL60SW1 has a 6kg capacity, a 530mm drum and a maximum spin speed of 1200rpm, with an average water use of 61 litres per cycle. Its 600mm width and 850mm height are specified by the manufacturer, while retail pricing was not provided.

CHiQ is a home appliance brand whose laundry range is sold in Australia and other markets.

The details

The WFL60SW1 uses CHiQ's Space Pro design to achieve a slimmer footprint, and includes Steam Wash, an inverter motor, a Confirm Start function and a separate child lock. It also features a nano antibacterial door seal and carries a four-star energy rating and a four-star water rating.

Compact Laundry Options

The WFL60SW1 applies CHiQ's Space Pro design to a 465mm cabinet, extending that compact approach into the smaller-capacity end of the brand's front load range. Its 6kg capacity sits below the 8.5kg and 10kg models already in the line-up.

The 6kg capacity and compact 465mm depth make the WFL60SW1 a practical option for households with limited laundry space. Buyers should check installation dimensions of 577mm depth and the included warranty terms before purchase.

The takeaway

Before buying a compact washer, measure your laundry space against the installation depth and check the energy and water ratings. The WFL60SW1's four-star ratings and three-year warranty are useful comparison points.
