Replace my machine
I only ordered the machine because the one I had should have been replaced! I didn’t expect the faulty machine to be taken away! It was under warranty. Now I have no recourse, and I’m out of pocket.

Only had it for about a month and it's pretty good. Easy to install and setup and all of the programs seem to do what they say.

At a glance
This 8.5kg front load washer suits medium households wanting a practical, easy-to-use machine for daily clothes, towels and bedding. Its strengths are the roomy drum, 17 wash programs, steam and allergy-focused care, and solid 4.5 star water and 4 star energy ratings. A fair limitation is that it focuses on value and essentials rather than premium smart connectivity or specialist fabric programs.
What it’s great for
- Everyday family washing
- Bulky bedding loads
- Allergy-conscious laundry care
- Quick turnaround washes
- Medium household laundry
Where it works best
- Family laundry
- Apartment laundry
- Compact laundry spaces
- Medium-size homes
Who it’s for
- Small family
- Medium household
- Busy couple
- Allergy-conscious household
- Value-focused buyer
Things to consider
It offers strong everyday washing features, but buyers wanting app control, premium auto-dosing, or more specialist fabric-care systems may prefer a higher-end model.
Fabric care suitability score
8/10 - Good range of programs including steam, quick wash and delicate-friendly options for mixed household fabrics.
Water efficiency rating
4.5 star water rating
Family laundry fit
Strong fit for small to medium families, with enough capacity for regular weekly washing and occasional bulky items.
Noise level vs category average
7/10 - Inverter technology and 4 shock absorbers suggest quieter-than-average everyday operation for this category.
Allergy suitability
8/10 - Steam wash, allergy care and the nano anti-bacterial door seal make it well suited to hygiene-focused households.
Key benefits
- 8.5kg Capacity: Handles everyday clothing, towels and larger bedding loads in fewer washes.
- 17 Wash Programs: Gives you flexible settings for delicates, quick washes, allergy care and heavier loads.
- Steam Wash: Helps improve hygiene and refresh garments with a deeper cleaning option.
- Allergy Care: Designed to support households that want a more hygiene-focused wash program.
- Inverter Technology: Supports quieter, smoother operation with improved energy efficiency, backed by a 4 star energy rating.
- 4.5 Star Water Rating: Helps reduce water use versus less efficient models while still supporting full-size household washing.
- 577mm Install Depth: The narrow cabinet depth is easier to fit into tighter laundries and flush-mount spaces.
- Nano Anti-Bacterial Door Seal: Helps reduce bacteria build-up around the door seal for cleaner day-to-day laundry care.
Q: Will this washer fit in a compact laundry space?
A: Yes, in many compact laundries. The cabinet is 847mm high, 600mm wide and 577mm deep, so it is shallower than many full-size front loaders, but leave extra room for door swing, hoses and ventilation.
Q: Does this washer have Wi-Fi or app control?
A: No. CHiQ WFL85SW1 focuses on core wash functions with LED digital controls rather than app-based control or remote monitoring. It suits buyers who want simple operation, not smart-home features or phone notifications.
Q: Can it wash queen bedding and bulky household loads?
A: Yes, the 8.5kg capacity and jumbo drum suit larger household loads such as sheets, towels and many bedding items. Very bulky pieces can still wash better on a lighter fill, so avoid packing the drum tightly.
Q: Is this CHiQ washer quiet enough for apartment living?
A: CHiQ WFL85SW1 is designed for quieter day-to-day use, with inverter technology and an electronic stability program to help keep operation smoother. It is still a full-size washer, so spin cycles will remain noticeable through walls or cabinets.
Q: How useful is the quick wash on this model?
A: The quick wash program is useful for smaller, lightly soiled loads when you need a faster turnaround. It is less suited to heavily soiled items or a packed drum, where a longer program will usually give a more thorough wash.
Q: What does the steam wash actually help with?
A: Steam wash adds a hygiene-focused option for loads that need extra care, and it can be useful for everyday garments, towels and bedding. It is a wash feature, not a substitute for choosing the right program, detergent and load size.
Q: Is the CHiQ WFL85SW1 easy to use daily?
A: The controls are set up for straightforward daily use, with an LED display and separate program choices rather than a complex menu system. With 17 programs available, there is flexibility, but first-time users may still need to learn which cycle suits each load.
