Rank #9 in Best 9kg Washing Machine 2026: 9 Ranked, and Three Counts That Do Not Add Up
Hisense WF1I9042BBP 9kg 1400rpm Washing Machine, Black
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Hisense WF1I9042BBP is a freestanding 9 kg front-load washing machine with a 1400 rpm spin, a black finish and an A energy rating, listed at £279. It sits at number 9 in this guide, and it is the cheapest Hisense on the page — undercutting the two Hisense machines ranked above it.
What makes it worth a closer look is the number that trips up most of this guide. The title says 15 programmes, the bullet points say 15 washing programmes, and the specification table records 15 standard cycles; the families named — Cotton, Active Steam, Quick Wash, Allergen, Wool and Baby Care — read like dial options rather than app downloads. Its door clearance also survives contact with its own numbers: 102 cm with the door open against a 51 cm body leaves 51 cm of swing. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for the Hisense WF1I9042BBP, not from testing we carried out ourselves.
