What you're actually buying here
This is an Amazon Resale listing, so let's be clear upfront: "VG / Like New" means it's been returned, inspected, and repackaged. Could be a buyer's remorse return with zero use. Could have a faint scuff on the drum door. You won't know until it arrives. That's the trade-off with resale, and it's worth going in with your eyes open.
The machine itself is the Hisense WF1G7021BW. Seven kilos, 1200RPM spin, 15 wash programmes including a steam cycle and a quick wash option. Perfectly solid spec for a single person or a couple. It's not going to handle a family's muddy rugby kit in one go, but for regular weekly loads it's spot on.
The steam wash bit, quickly
Steam on a budget washing machine sounds a bit gimmicky, but it does genuinely help with freshening clothes that aren't properly dirty. Think: shirts you've worn once, gym kit that smells a bit off. Not a replacement for a full wash, more a useful extra. Personally I wouldn't buy a machine just for this feature, but it's a nice touch at this price point.
Who this is actually for
If you're a student, first-time renter, or kitting out a small flat and you can't stretch to a brand-new machine, this makes a lot of sense. The Amazon Resale guarantee gives you some protection if it arrives damaged or faulty. Just keep your expectations realistic about condition.
If you're replacing a broken machine mid-week with three people's laundry piling up, maybe don't gamble on resale timelines.
