Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Hisense 3S Series WF3S9043BW3 is a 9 kg front-load washing machine with a 1400 rpm spin, a jog dial with a digital display, and ConnectLife app control. It sits at number 7 in this guide, and it is one of two Hisense 3S machines here that the listings describe with identical numbers: the same 9 kg drum, the same 55 x 59.5 x 84.5 cm cabinet, the same 63 kg. What differs is colour, price and how many buyers have rated it — this white one is £299 with 46 ratings, where the black version is £289 with 140.
Two figures on this page are worth reading twice. The specification says 16 programs, while the separate cycle options field names one: Delicates. And 'depth with door open' is given as 59.5 cm against a stated depth of 55 cm — which is also exactly the machine's stated width, so the listing is effectively allowing 4.5 cm for the door to swing. Everything below comes from the Amazon listing for this model; we have not tested the machine ourselves.
