Hisense 1400rpm 10.5kg Load Smart Washing Machine - White vs 8kg 1400rpm Washing Machine - White — Comparison

Both are budget Hisense machines at 1400rpm with an A energy rating, but they serve different households. The WF3S1043BW3 (£329) is the larger, smarter option — 10.5 kg capacity, Wi-Fi app control, 19 programmes, pre-wash, and 41 kWh per 100 cycles. Despite the bigger drum, it uses more energy-efficiently per kilo of laundry.

The WFQA8014EVJM (£259) is smaller and simpler: 8 kg, no smart features, 15 programmes — but it uses notably less water (32 litres per cycle vs 41) and is shallower at 540 mm deep, making it a better fit for tight spaces. It also has a hand wash programme the larger model lacks.

Bottom line: the WF3S1043BW3 is worth the extra £70 for families needing large-load capacity and app control. The WFQA8014EVJM is the smarter buy for singles or couples who want to save on water bills and need a machine that fits a shallower alcove.
