Whirlpool FreshCare+ 9kg Washing Machine 1400rpm - Silver | FFD9489SBSVUK
The Hotpoint FFD9489SBSVUK is a feature‑rich 9 kg freestanding washing machine designed to deliver efficient, effective laundry care for modern households. With a generous 9 kg drum capacity and a maximum spin speed of 1400 rpm, this model handles larger wash loads easily, helping to reduce drying time and improve convenience. It holds a strong A energy rating, offering excellent energy efficiency and helping to reduce running costs.
Intelligent Wash Technology
This machine is equipped with 6th Sense Technology, which uses smart sensors to automatically adapt water, time and energy use to the size and type of laundry load, delivering excellent cleaning performance while saving resources.
FreshCare+ and Steam Features
The FreshCare+ system helps keep laundry fresh even up to 6 hours after the cycle ends by gently tumbling the load and using steam to circulate air and prevent unpleasant odours. Steam Hygiene provides a natural way to sanitise clothes at the end of the wash cycle — even at lower temperatures — removing up to 99.9 % of common bacteria, ideal for sensitive skin. Steam Refresh revitalises garments in about 20 minutes, relaxing fibres and smoothing creases so clothes are ready to wear again without a full wash.
Quiet and Efficient Operation
This model features an inverter motor that delivers quieter, longer‑lasting performance with fewer vibrations, helping to make laundry day more peaceful. A start delay option lets you schedule cycles at times that suit your busy lifestyle.
Practical Design and Performance
The Whirlpool FFD9489SBSVUK combines large capacity, smart wash technology and steam‑enhanced features in a sleek design finished in silver. With a flexible range of programmes and intuitive controls, this washing machine is ideal for households that demand both performance and ease of use.
