The Electrolux EWW1042ADWA is a front-load washer-dryer combo with a 10 kg wash capacity and a smaller 6 kg drying capacity. Its listed dimensions are 850 × 600 × 659 mm (H × W × D). Those specifications make it worth considering if one appliance suits your space and laundry routine, but they do not establish how well it cleans or dries: CHOICE’s model-specific test results are behind a membership gate.

Check the fit before choosing a combo
The listed depth is 659 mm, but the appliance’s external dimensions alone do not confirm that it will fit your laundry. Allow for installation clearances and check the route from delivery point to its final position, including doorways and turns. Confirm any site-specific requirements with Electrolux or the installer.
#1 Best Overall
- Powerful & Efficient Laundry Tower: 4.5 cu. ft. front-load washer and 8.0 cu. ft. electric dryer in a stacked design save space while handling large loads with ENERGY STAR efficiency.
- SmartBoost Premixing Technology: Ensures detergent and water are fully premixed before entering the washer, giving clothes a deeper clean in every cycle.
- User-Friendly Design: Sleek white finish, intuitive controls, and a stacked form factor fit perfectly in closets or laundry rooms
Because it is a combo, washing a full 10 kg load does not mean you can dry that whole load in one go: the listed drying capacity is 6 kg. If you expect to wash and then dry a full load without splitting it, that capacity difference matters. Measure against the laundry batches you actually handle, rather than comparing the wash figure alone.
What the efficiency figures mean in Australia and New Zealand
Efficiency figures differ by market and function. Electrolux Australia’s fact sheet lists a 4.5-star water rating, 86 L of water for washing and 229 kWh/year for drying; it also lists a 3-star dryer energy rating. Electrolux New Zealand lists a 5-star washing energy rating, 4.5-star water rating, 86 L of wash water, 220 kWh/year for warm-wash energy, 3 stars for drying, 229 kWh/year for dryer energy and 65 L of dryer water.
Rank #2
- Powerful & Efficient Laundry Tower: 4.5 cu. ft. front-load washer and 8.0 cu. ft. gas dryer in a stacked design save space while handling large loads with efficiency.
- SmartBoost Premixing Technology: Ensures detergent and water are fully premixed before entering the washer, giving clothes a deeper clean in every cycle.
- User-Friendly Design: Sleek titanium finish, intuitive controls, and a stacked form factor fit perfectly in closets or laundry rooms
These values are not interchangeable or a single combined-use total. In particular, the 220 kWh/year figure is the warm-wash value on Electrolux New Zealand’s page, not a universal washing-energy figure. The Australian Government explains that washer-dryer combinations show separate labels for washing and drying: energy rating labels for household appliances. Check the label and market-specific product information relevant to the appliance you are buying.

CHOICE has a model-specific listing for the EWW1042ADWA, but its expert rating and detailed performance results are available only to members on the retrieved page. That means the public information does not establish this model’s stain removal, rinsing, gentleness, efficiency under controlled testing, cycle time, noise or drying performance. Its listed specifications are not test results.

ProductReview.com.au’s Electrolux combo category displays a 3.9 score for this model. Treat that as an anecdotal user-review signal, not a representative sample, a verified reliability rate or a controlled comparison. It cannot fill the gap left by unavailable model-specific test scores.
For that reason, the evidence supports a fit-and-specifications assessment, not a firm verdict on cleaning quality, reliability or real-world drying results. CHOICE’s listing also shows a $2,149 price, but that listing does not establish current availability or a current street price.

Features and laundry routine to weigh
Electrolux New Zealand lists Wi-Fi, SensorWash, UltraMix, vapour refresh and Woolmark Blue certification for washing. These are manufacturer-listed features; the available public information here does not demonstrate how well each performs in everyday use.

Before choosing this format, consider whether you can wait for a combined cycle or need to dry one batch while another is washing. Compare the separate wash and dry capacities, available space, wash and dry efficiency labels, cycle duration and access to parts and service. Official consumer guidance also recommends matching appliance capacity to household needs: choosing energy-efficient appliances.
