It was fine until it wasn't...
To be fair, it is a satisfactory machine with settings that I find useful and it was working fine until it started to..not work fine. First it was the detergent tray that stopped draining, so after every wash the middle tray would be filled with water. Everything else still worked so I thought, okay, I'll just deal with this manually by pouring it out after every wash. But then it started to not start after you press Start. So you'd have to try your luck later and sometimes it was a few hours, sometimes it was the next day, but it'd start again...Read more
- thank god. Then one day, the whole digital display went haywire, you can change some of the settings but not others and it didn't matter what you changed, it wouldn't start anyway. The warranty is super short (2 years) so the company will not look after you after that. For white goods, that's not long at all which makes me think whether there's a reason why it's so short. In summary, the machine was inexpensive but I wouldn't want to risk it. For peace of mind, look for something more reliable or at least with a longer warranty.3 comments
Hi Euromaid, last time I tried to post my review I was asked if I wanted to let the company respond before publishing and I chose to do that. I was send an identical message as you have just sent. Aft... Read more
er speaking to a representative, I was told to ring up the repair company associated with the brand in my city and organise for the machine to be looked at and fixed (at my own cost obviously) and that's not really worthwhile.

Works fine for the price we paid
Great customer service in terms of next day delivery and installation. Good value for money as it is one of the cheaper options in that range. It does not always rinse well when you choose a shorter program and the thing I mainly miss is a sound (like a beep or something) when a load is finished.

Wonderful Maid
This is the smallest, cutest washing machine EVVVEERRR!
Easy to use, gentle on delicates cycle, and best of all a 14 minute express wash!
We had not the best luck with washing machines, but found solace in this neat option.
Great for busy mum's and dad's, or singles alike! Will not disappoint.

Incredible Value
Been slightly more than a month of using the Euromaid WM7PRO and have not been disappointed.
Prices were comparable to some of the 5kg models out there.
Comes with a lot of presets depending on what you are planning to wash which make it easy to select the best program.
Perfect for a first washing machine for a young couple that are active and need something within budget.

Love this & excellent price!
We bought this washing machine after our last one died and we haven’t been disappointed. It is efficient, it cleans well, it’s relatively quiet and does what it claims. It also has a large range of settings to choose from. It’s great value for money and we would definitely look at purchasing this brand again.

Euromaid didnt let down
It s been over a year now since I ve had it, we bought another one like that for my parents. It works really well, we had a front loader before that consumed so much water but clothes felt under washed. This one somehow clean my stinky dirt crunchy chefs uniform on 18 min setting consuming only 30 litre of water. Provided of course i only put there one jacket two pants and three aprons with a few undies and socks. Not a big load not a small one either but effective. I recommend guys, the price is also reasonable and it wont consume much energy....Read more
I have compared many many many washing machines online in terms of the specifics, price, eco efficiency and feel like i did a good job. A piece of advice for everyone to treat it well... make sure you check you pockets and drain the filter monthly or so, I place my powder detergent together with clothes so that i don't have to clean the compartment that i only use for softener or liquids. November 29th 2022 Update: Great washing, but not enough water Both my parents and I have euromaid 5kg. It is doing an outstanding job when you add more water right at the beginning. I think the first step where it need to wet dry clothes and mix it well with detergent is lacking water. I definitely do not overload it. I found that if I add half a bucket of extra water right when it first fills up it really is doing a great job. Clothes come out fresh & crisp. Oh and don't forget to drain the filter on the bottom every three months. I definitely recommend this.1 comment

Great machine for a great price!
I've owned this product for 4+ years and has never given me any issues. If i had to state a downside, I would note that the inside seal does gather mould and slight gunk. However, this has accumulated over years and years and is easy to wipe away. Though it's not as flashy as a lot of other machines out there, it's a simple yet functional machine with plenty of settings that delivers all you could want AND for a great price! This was the first Euromaid product I had purchased and its quality has opened me up to purchasing other goods from this brand. Very happy with this product / brand and have / will continue to recommend to others.

Very long wash times energy needed to clean
Admittedly I only used this machine a few times when I was in a serviced apartment, however comparing this to other machines I've used, I found it very surprising I needed to use a 2.5 hr long wash at 60C to perform cleaning I could do on an equivalent Bosch machine for 46 min and cold water.
I didn't directly compare energy and power consumption specs, but it seems this washer is using a lot of power and many rinse cycles to perform cleaning that is more efficiently done by other machines.

Hi Gregatbr,
Whilst without further information we cannot comment on the length of the wash cycle. There are a number of reasons (such as user maintenance) that could contribute to a less than desired washing performance.... Read more

Love this machine
Great little machine, cleans and rinses really well, and seems to be gentle on the clothes. It’s a little on the noisey side during spinning, but I find all washers noisy so I don’t think it’s any worse than the Bosch we had. This machine has plenty of cycles of different lengths, eg 15min, 20min, 30min, 45min, 1hr20...it has some longer ones, and any cycle using hot water will take longer as it heats the water itself, but I don’t use those cycles.
Only downside was when I wanted to wash a woollen doona (double size), it wouldn’t fit. We don’t have kids, but if we did we’d go for the next size up.

Hey Nat, thanks for the review! Yes, the WM5 is great for singles and couples. Once you have a little person, the 7kg would be more suitable :)

Reasonably priced, and does it job!
Recently bought the WM7Pro due to its attractive price, and what can I say? It does the job. It's relatively silent, doesn't jump around, and has various settings including a "fast rinse" setting that also does the job just as well, and saves water and electricity as this setting washes for 30mins vs 2h or more for the other settings. Size-wise it fits in all intended washing machine areas as well.
Highly recommended!

Makes life easy
I have had this machine for 2 years and have not had a problem with it. It cleans and rinses well and does it in 35 minutes. Its easy to use, easy to clean and runs really well every time. I only use cold water to wash so the one water inlet is not a problem for me at all. I don't find it too be overly loud but do find it to be a reliable machine. Well worth the money.

Excellent reliable machine, a few minor design issues
I've had one of these since 2013. With the exception of filter cleaning, it has required no maintenance, runs reliably and washes well. One minor design fault: the control panel labelling comes off easily. Our kitchen cleaner probably used pine-o-clean or similar to wipe it down, and took most of the labels off. It's a shame the labels aren't etched in or imprinted in the mould.

good washing machine
Great washing machine. it does washing within 35 minutes, it's got great lcd display and is easy to use. it washes clothes very clean. you can set temperature and spin cycle within seconds. the only negative thing is there is not hot water inlet, but i run warm water through the cold water inlet with a hose splitter.

Good little affordable washer with great setting selections
We had limited space in our apartment for a washing machine and I was pleasantly surprised with the euromaid.
There is good setting selection for each wash, with very short and delicates cycles and the option on all cycles for no spin or a max 1200 which is exactly what we wanted.
The short - 30 minute cycle seems to run slighter over 30 minutes but is good for a basic freshen up (but doesn't seem to get out tough stains - but that's understandable).
It was significantly less price wise than some of the other options, and has OK en...Read more
ergy and water ratings. It's relatively quiet for a washing machine - except of course on the full spin. Also only every uses cold water - one water pipe in - so was good for our compact space.1 comment

Cheap, reliable, does the job
The washing machine cleans and rinses well. Lots of different programs for different types of fabric. Suits apartments with 1 to 2 people. No damage to clothes. It's a little loud. My favourite feature is the timer. I set it at night to start the washing cycle in the morning so I can hang them before going to work.

Great Budget Washer
Does everything you need, colour, whites, does everything you throw at it. Has a timer function that is always handy. It slightly loud but I think that's normal for a washer. Although this model has a slightly lower drying spin rpm so keep that in mind when you are buying a washer

Great machine for a great price
Cleans and rinses clothing well with little water used for each wash, the quick wash feature is great. Clothes will last longer than a conventional top loader as it is far more gentle on clothing. Generally quite but the spin dry can be noisey. Best feature is the quick wash 39 minutes and can be unlocked during washes.

Excellent washing machine for the price
Great washing machine. It is reasonably quite and I have it in the kitchen. It has some really good washing options like daily express and super short express. I mainly use daily express 39min and it does a really good job. There often is water left in the seal so you need to just wipe it out after use.

It works and it's cheap
This is an okay-good cheap budget washing machine. It does a very good job rinsing clothes though I find that its more 'delecate' options to spin quite fast so I'm concerned how well it keeps more 'delicate' clothes undamaged. It's not particularly loud or quiet. somewhere in the middle. It does have quite a few options to pick from as well which is good. Overall this is a fairly easy to use cheap washing machine that does the job.

Transportation locks broke my machine
This was working fine for 2 years, but when I moved I inserted the transportation bolts, and since they were too large they cracked the bowl, which has caused my machine to leak. A repairman came out and said I 'over tightened' the bolts. It is impossible to over tighten the bolts due to an inch of rubber that act as a washer. I asked for evidence of this over tightening, but this has not been provided. The fact these bolts can break a bowl without any barrier installed is a major design flaw. Unfortunately the only course of action left is a trip to Australian fair trading to solve this dispute. Very disappointing as the machine was great.
