Defy 8 kg Front Load Washing Machine – DAW408

The Defy DAW408 brings together the core specifications consumers compare first: load size, cycle flexibility, installation fit and day-to-day convenience. This listing keeps model-specific facts separate from derived shopping guidance so customers can compare the appliance on the information that matters.

Capacity and everyday fit

The 8 kg wash capacity is the main guide to household fit. Smaller drums suit lighter weekly loads, while larger capacities give more room for family laundry and bulky items. Always follow the programme-specific load limit because delicate, quick and bedding cycles can be lower than the headline capacity.

Full product specifications

Only information verified for this exact model is shown. A missing row means the specification was not confirmed in the available manufacturer or exact-model source; it does not mean the feature is absent.

Before you buy

Measure the cabinet space and delivery path, then allow clearance for hoses, ventilation and the door to open fully. Depth figures normally exclude extra clearance for plumbing, so the installation niche should not be sized to the appliance depth alone. Check the exact model code on the order and rating plate, especially where finishes or regional suffixes differ.

Programme names describe intended use, but results depend on load size, soil level, detergent, water conditions and fabric care labels. Use the manufacturer’s manual for installation, programme limits and maintenance. Warranty periods and connected-app services can vary by component, country and registration requirements, so confirm the current local terms at purchase.
