Hisense washing machines and tumble dryers 2026: the full range explained
Hisense has carved out a place in the laundry room with a simple recipe: large capacities, an Inverter motor and plenty of programmes, at keen prices. Here is every series, from entry-level to top-end, the models we stock and the pitfalls to avoid.
- Series 1i, 3S, 5i, 7i : the higher the number, the better equipped it is
- At our store: 8 washing machines from 7 to 13 kg and 2 tumble dryers heat pump
- Class A on wash, spin around 72 dB
- Trap: comparing the actual consumption, not just the letter
Hisense washing machines in brief
All the Hisense washing machines we sell are freestanding 60 cm front-loaders wide. The brand relies on three selling points: high capacities (from 7 to 13 kg here), an Inverter motor (a brushless motor, quieter and more durable than a conventional one) and increasingly common connectivity. The tumble dryers, for their part, all use the heat pump, the most energy-efficient technology.
Manufacturing: unlike some of the fridges and cooking appliances, Hisense washing machines are mostly made in China. Long-term reliability data is still limited: Test-Achats did not get enough responses in its March 2026 survey to calculate the lifespan of Hisense washing machines, but does not name the brand among those with more breakdowns than average.
Washing machine ranges, from entry-level to premium
1i and 1Q: the entry level
The ranges 1i and 1Q get to the essentials: Inverter motor, common programmes, class A. Here, the WF1I7022BWJ (7 kg according to its model number) is the most affordable at €399.99, and the WF1Q9041BW (9 kg, 1400 rpm according to its model number) is priced at €449.99. The WF1I1342BWM, for its part, is a 13 kg model: a rare capacity, at €699.99. These three models do not appear on the French Hisense website we checked: please check the product sheet for exact data (noise, consumption).
3S: the core range
This is the most interesting range for most families. The WF3S1043BW3 (white) and its black twin WF3S1043BB3 offer, according to the official sheet: 10.5 kg, 63-litre drum, 1400 rpm, class A, 72 dB(A) on spin (noise class A), 41 litres of water and 0.412 kWh per Eco 40-60 cycle, 19 programmes including a steam refresh, cold wash at 15 °C, end-of-cycle delay setting and ConnectLife wifi.
5i and 7i: the premium range (not in our catalogue)
The 5i adds a colour display, automatic detergent dosing (Autodose) and lower consumption (around 0.31 kWh per Eco cycle). The 7i goes further with a large 6.86-inch display, voice control and dosing that adapts to water hardness. We don't have them in store at the moment: ask us if one interests you.
Other models in store
We also have three large-capacity models with older model numbers or numbers specific to certain markets: WFQP901418VM (499,99 €), WFQE1214EVJM (€549.99) and W1214QE (€599.99). According to their model numbers, these are 9 and 12 kg at 1400 rpm, but we couldn't find their official sheet online: we will give you the exact specifications in store, with the rating plate to back it up.

Hisense tumble dryers
We stock two heat-pump tumble dryers. The DH3S902UWDC (3S range) dries 9 kg; its official sheet gives energy class D (new label from July 2025), 64 dB(A), 128 kWh per 100 cycles, condensation class C, 16 programmes and ConnectLife wifi. It costs €599.99. The DHQE802U (8 kg according to the model number) is priced at €499.99; its official sheet was not online when we checked.
Which capacity to choose from Hisense?
| Burner | Recommended capacity | Our Hisense model |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 2 people | 7 to 8 kg | WF1I7022BWJ (€399.99) |
| 3 to 4 people | 9 to 10.5 kg | WF3S1043BW3 (€549.99) |
| 5 people or more, duvets | 12 to 13 kg | WF1I1342BWM (€699.99) |
A large capacity is only useful if you fill it: the energy use of a cycle depends mainly on the drum and the temperature. Beyond 10 kg, the real benefit is washing a whole duvet or sports bag in one go.
And the washer-dryer?
Hisense makes washer-dryers, including one 5i heat-pump (WD5I1245BWRH) rated class A for both washing and drying, a rarity at this price level. We don't have it in our catalogue at the moment. If you're short on space for a pair, ask us: we'll show you the washer-dryers available, all brands combined, in the department washer-dryer. Bear in mind that a washer-dryer always dries less laundry than it washes.
Decoding a Hisense washing machine model number
Hisense does not publish an official grid, but its product sheets show a consistent logic. For example: WF3S1043BW3.
- WF = front-loader washing machine; WD = washer-dryer; DH = heat pump tumble dryer.
- 3S = the series (1i, 3S, 5i, 7i...).
- 10 = the capacity; watch out, ‘10' means 10.5 kg at Hisense. 12 = 12 kg, 13 = 13 kg, 9 = 9 kg.
- 4 = spin at 1400 rpm (observed on all 1400 models).
- BW = finish (W white, B black); the final digit or letter indicates a market variant.
For a tumble dryer, DH3S902UWDC is read as: tumble dryer, 3S series, 9 kg.
Pitfalls to avoid
- The A rating doesn't tell the whole story : the WF3S1043BW3 uses 0.41 kWh per Eco cycle, a 5i around 0.31. Both are ‘class A'.
- The depth : a larger capacity is often deeper. Measure the alcove, door and hoses included.
- Noise : 72 dB on spin is the market average. If the machine is near a bedroom, schedule the end of the cycle for daytime.
- The 10-year motor warranty announced in France is not confirmed in Belgium: don't count on it without documentation.
- Models without an official product sheet : ask us for the rating plate details before buying.
For a family of four, the WF3S1043BW3 is the best capacity-for-price choice in our Hisense range. Do fill it properly: a full drum is far more economical than two half loads. And to choose the right capacity in general, read our washing machine buying guide.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the 3S and 5i series?
The 3S is the core of the range: Inverter motor, steam, Wi-Fi. The 5i adds automatic detergent dosing, a colour screen and noticeably lower consumption (around 0.31 kWh per Eco cycle versus 0.41 for the WF3S1043BW3).
Does a 10.5 kg Hisense washing machine fit in a standard alcove?
Yes, in width and height (59.5 cm by 84.5 cm). The WF3S1043BW3 is 59 cm deep excluding door and hoses: measure your alcove and allow a few centimetres for connections.
Is the Hisense DH3S902UWDC tumble dryer economical?
It is a heat pump tumble dryer, so far more frugal than a conventional condenser model. It is rated class D on the new 2025 energy label, with 128 kWh per 100 cycles. The best models on the market do better, but it remains economical to use.
Should you buy a 13 kg model?
Only if you often wash duvets or sportswear, or for a large family. An oversized drum that is only half full saves nothing. For 3 or 4 people, 9 to 10.5 kg is more than enough.
Are Hisense washing machines connected?
The 3S series and above are, via the ConnectLife app. The entry-level 1i and some older models are not always: check the product sheet.
