Electrolux UltimateCare 500 EWF8024R5SB is a modern front-load washing machine that balances performance, convenience, and fabric care. With an 8.0 kg capacity and a host of intelligent features, this model is ideally suited for medium-sized Indian households looking for reliable washing performance and fabric protection. This review explores the key features, technologies, design, and overall value of this appliance.

. Capacity & Suitability

With a drum capacity of 8.0 kg, this washing machine is perfect for families of 3 to 5 members. It offers enough space to wash a week’s laundry in fewer loads. The larger drum size also reduces fabric tangling and allows for better water and detergent distribution.

. Sleek & Durable Design

The EWF8024R5SB boasts a sleek and premium stainless steel design in a modern silver finish. It has a front-loading mechanism with a wide door for easy loading and unloading. The overall look is minimalist, complemented by an intuitive touch control panel and a digital LED display, giving it a sophisticated feel that fits into modern homes.

The build quality is robust, with an anti-vibration body and a sturdy drum that resists wear even after years of use. It also comes with child lock functionality, ensuring safety in homes with toddlers.

. Hygiene & Fabric Care Technology

Electrolux is known for its fabric care innovation, and this model lives up to the reputation with several advanced features:

HygienicCare Vapour Function

This feature releases gentle vapour at 40°C after the wash cycle to remove up to 99.9% of allergens and bacteria, including dust mites and pet dander. It ensures a hygienic wash without subjecting clothes to harsh temperatures, making it ideal for sensitive skin or baby clothes.

UltraMix Technology

Unlike conventional washers where detergent is directly dispensed into the drum, Electrolux’s UltraMix system pre-mixes detergent and softener with water before entering the drum. This improves detergent activation, reduces residue, and provides more even and effective cleaning, even in cold washes.

SensorWash System

The built-in AI-based SensorWash detects soil levels in the load and automatically adjusts wash time, water usage, and detergent dosage. This not only ensures better washing results but also helps save water and energy.

. Energy & Water Efficiency

This model comes with a high energy efficiency rating, consuming less power per wash cycle than top-loading counterparts. The EcoInverter Motor further improves energy savings by optimizing spin speed and motor rotation depending on the load.

In terms of water usage, its front load design inherently uses up to 50% less water compared to traditional top load washers, making it a good choice for areas with limited water supply.

EcoInverter Motor – Quiet & Efficient

The EcoInverter motor in this washer operates with low vibration and noise, ensuring peaceful operation even during high-speed spins. Electrolux also provides a 10-year warranty on the motor, reinforcing its long-term reliability.

. Specialized Wash Programs

This model comes with 15 wash programs, catering to different fabric types and wash needs:

• Daily 60 – Wash everyday clothes in just 1 hour.

• Wool/Delicate – Ideal for silk, wool, or lace.

• Quick 15 – A short cycle for lightly soiled garments.

• Energy Saver – Wash at lower temperatures with optimized detergent use.

• Drum Clean – Cleans the interior of the drum to prevent odor and bacterial build-up.

• Mixed Load – For washing cotton and synthetic clothes together.

• Bedding – Handles bulky items like comforters or blankets.

These programs give users flexibility and ensure that every fabric gets the appropriate level of care.

. Performance & Spin Speed

With a maximum spin speed of 1200 RPM, the EWF8024R5SB effectively extracts water from clothes, reducing drying time. It handles tough stains well while being gentle on fabrics.

The internal stainless-steel drum has a unique “LeafLifter” pattern which enhances water flow and improves stain removal without damaging fibers. Even at full load, the washing performance remains consistent.

. Ease of Use

The intuitive control knob and digital display make it easy to choose the right wash cycle. The interface shows remaining time, selected temperature, spin speed, and other options clearly. You can also pause and add clothes mid-cycle—a very handy feature.

The delay start function allows you to schedule your wash during off-peak hours, making it more energy-efficient.

. Noise & Vibration Control

Thanks to the SilentTech insulation and EcoInverter motor, the noise level during wash and spin cycles is surprisingly low, staying below 60 dB. This makes it suitable for use at night or in apartments where noise can be an issue.
