Indesit BWE101684XW UK review
Test scoreShow Context
- Freestanding
- White
- Large capacity
The Indesit BWE101684 is a reasonably priced washing machine with a large load capacity. Space for 10kg of laundry means you can wash more, and a maximum spin speed of 1,600rpm means that your laundry should come out of the machine drier - in theory, anyway. We sent this washing machine to our test lab to find out how good it really is.
