Would you like our technician to install your new appliance? This would include connecting your new washing machine to your water pipes, ensuring there are no leaks and level the feet.
When we deliver your new freestanding appliance, would you like us to disconnect your old appliance, including the challenging task of disconnecting it from your water pipes?
Would you like our delivery team to take away and recycle your old appliance when we deliver your new one?
Appliances come with quite a bit of bulky packaging. We will unbox your item and allow you to examine it. Then we'll take away and responsibly dispose of all cardboard, plastic wrap and foam packaging.
The Blomberg LWA18461W is a freestanding washing machine with an 8kg drum, a maximum spin speed of 1400rpm and 15 wash programmes. Finished in white, it offers a practical combination of everyday washing capacity and features designed to make laundry easier to manage.
SpinSave helps reduce energy consumption on selected everyday programmes by using specially developed drum movements to dissolve detergent with less heat. When you need to finish a load quickly, the Fast Full Load programme can wash a full drum in under 30 minutes.
There are also options to help care for different fabrics and reduce the work involved after washing. CreaseEase helps minimise wrinkles, while SteamTherapy provides an additional steam-based programme. A dedicated Machine Care cycle is included to help maintain the inside of the appliance.
With an A energy rating, a choice of 15 programmes and a 1400rpm spin speed, the LWA18461W is worth considering if you want an 8kg washing machine with useful time-saving and garment-care functions.
The 8kg drum provides useful capacity for everyday household laundry. It can accommodate regular clothing loads, towels and a mixture of garments, giving you flexibility when planning your washing. If you typically wash several smaller loads during the week, this capacity may also help you combine suitable items into fewer cycles.
The 1400rpm maximum spin speed helps remove moisture from clothing towards the end of the wash. This means laundry comes out with less water remaining, which can help reduce the time needed for drying afterwards. The machine has a B spin-drying efficiency rating, with a stated remaining moisture content of 53% for the full-load Eco 40-60 programme.
SpinSave is designed to reduce the energy needed for selected everyday wash programmes. Its specially developed drum movements help detergent dissolve with less heat, allowing those programmes to use up to 35% less energy than equivalent programmes on the specified Blomberg washing machine without SpinSave. This saving relates to the relevant programmes, rather than every cycle on the appliance.
For shorter wash times, Fast Full Load can clean a full 8kg load in under 30 minutes. This gives you an alternative when you need to get a substantial amount of laundry done without waiting for a longer standard programme.
The 15 programmes include settings for cottons, synthetics, wool and delicates, as well as dedicated options for shirts, stains and hygiene. SteamTherapy provides another option within the programme selection, while Drum Clean and Machine Care functions help you look after the appliance itself.
SpinSave changes the way the drum moves during selected wash programmes to help detergent dissolve more quickly and with less heat. This helps reduce the energy required for those cycles while maintaining washing performance.
Blomberg states that SpinSave programmes can use up to 35% less energy than equivalent programmes on a Blomberg washing machine without this feature. It is particularly relevant if you regularly wash everyday clothing and want to reduce the energy used by your laundry routine.
The Fast Full Load programme is designed to wash a full 8kg load in under 30 minutes. It gives you a shorter alternative when you need to get a substantial amount of washing finished quickly.
This can be useful when catching up with laundry or preparing clothing for the next day. Rather than choosing a conventional longer cycle, you have a dedicated programme for a full load when time matters.
CreaseEase adjusts the water level, spin speed and steam settings to help minimise wrinkles during washing. Reducing creasing can make garments easier to iron once they have been taken out of the drum.
Blomberg states that the function can reduce ironing time by up to 50%. The result will depend on the fabrics being washed and how the laundry is handled after the cycle.
Regular washing can leave residue inside an appliance over time. The Machine Care programme is designed to help maintain the inside of the washing machine by addressing bacteria and unwanted odours.
Using a dedicated maintenance programme gives you an option for caring for the appliance between normal laundry loads.
The RecycledTub design uses recycled plastic bottles in the construction of the washing machine’s tub. These materials account for up to 10% of the tub.
It is a product construction feature that reduces the need for entirely new materials in that part of the appliance.
The programme selection gives you options for different fabrics and laundry requirements. These include Cottons, Synthetics, Delicates/Wool/HandWash, Shirts, Stain and Hygiene+.
There are also Eco 40-60, 20°C, Mix and ColdWash settings, together with Rinse, Spin+Drain and Drum Clean. This range makes it easier to select a suitable cycle for the type of laundry you are washing.
SteamTherapy is included as one of the machine’s 15 programmes. The appliance also has a steam function, which works alongside features such as CreaseEase to provide additional options for garment care.
The 8kg capacity gives you room for regular household laundry without taking up the space associated with a larger-capacity model. A choice of 15 programmes also means you can select a cycle to suit the clothes you are washing, whether that is everyday cottons, synthetics or more delicate items.
When time is limited, Fast Full Load offers a shorter option for a full drum. SpinSave can help reduce energy use on selected everyday programmes, while the A energy rating provides a useful indication of the machine’s efficiency under standard test conditions.
CreaseEase is intended to make the work after washing easier by helping reduce wrinkles, and the dedicated Machine Care programme gives you an option for maintaining the appliance.
The white finish is straightforward to coordinate with other laundry appliances, while the 1400rpm spin speed helps remove moisture before clothes leave the drum. Together, these features provide practical support for regular washing and garment care.
The Blomberg LWA18461W is worth considering if you need an 8kg washing machine for regular household laundry. Its drum capacity offers room for everyday clothing and towels, while the 15 programmes provide flexibility for different fabrics and washing requirements.
It is also suited to customers who want a quicker way to handle a full load. Fast Full Load can wash the full drum in under 30 minutes, which is useful when you need to get laundry finished promptly.
If energy consumption is an important consideration, SpinSave offers an additional way to reduce energy use on selected everyday cycles. CreaseEase and the dedicated Machine Care programme will also appeal if you value features that help with garment care and ongoing appliance maintenance.
The Blomberg LWA18461W combines an 8kg capacity and 1400rpm spin speed with a useful selection of 15 programmes. It provides the flexibility to wash different fabrics while offering a quicker option when you need to clean a full load in less time.
SpinSave helps reduce energy consumption on selected everyday programmes, while the A energy rating gives you a clear indication of its energy efficiency. CreaseEase is designed to reduce wrinkles, and Machine Care provides a dedicated programme to help maintain the appliance.
The RecycledTub construction is another consideration if the use of recycled materials matters to you. With its white finish and practical range of washing and maintenance functions, this Blomberg model is a well-equipped choice for everyday laundry.
