Key Features
450G Extraction - 46% Residual Moisture
PowerBalance monitors the final spin in real time and adjusts G-force to maintain peak extraction efficiency. The result is 46% residual moisture content at full load - significantly reducing the energy and time required in the dryer on every cycle.
Compass Pro - Proven Industry Control
Compass Pro is Electrolux’s established commercial control system with proven, industry-standard programmes and multilingual support. Clear programme structure minimises staff training time and operational errors - particularly valuable in environments with shift changeovers and multi-national teams.
Automatic Savings - Load Weighing
The machine weighs each load before washing and adjusts water intake to match. Partial loads - common in most commercial laundry environments - use only the water they actually require. Across hundreds of cycles per month, the cumulative water and energy saving is significant.
18kW Electric Heating - Fast Recovery
18kW of electric heating brings the drum to target temperature quickly and maintains it consistently through the cycle. Fast temperature recovery between loads supports high-throughput operation without cycle extension at busy periods.
Auto & Manual Chemical Dosing - 5 Signals
Five automatic liquid dosing signals allow chemical dispensing to be precisely timed across the wash cycle. Manual dosing is also supported. Both options reduce chemical waste and produce consistent wash results regardless of who loads the machine.
Safety & Serviceability
Emergency stop, supply disconnector and an internal transformer (supporting up to 480V for export configurations) are all built in as standard. The normally-open electric drain valve ensures reliable discharge and straightforward serviceability when maintenance is required.
Why Extraction Efficiency Matters at 20kg Scale
The dryer is always the most energy-intensive part of the laundry process. How much moisture remains in the load after the wash cycle directly determines how long and how hard the dryer works. At 46% residual moisture, the WH6-20 delivers one of the lowest post-wash moisture contents in its class - achieved through the PowerBalance system constantly adjusting the final spin speed to maintain peak G-force regardless of load distribution.
For a hotel or care home running 10–20 loads per day, the compounding effect of reduced drying time on every load represents a measurable reduction in dryer energy consumption. Finance and leasing options are available for qualifying businesses - call us to discuss terms.

Frequency Asked Questions (FAQs)
Answers to questions about this product...
Yes. Its 20kg capacity and 180-litre drum are designed for high-throughput laundry work in settings such as hotels, care homes, laundrettes and industrial laundry facilities. The 18kW electric heating supports fast temperature recovery between loads, while the robust commercial specification is intended for regular daily operation rather than occasional domestic-style use.
Installation requires a 400V three-phase electrical supply in the UK and the machine has 18kW electric heating. It also needs hot and cold water connections plus suitable drainage for its normally-open electric drain valve. Site access, floor suitability, utility capacity and final positioning should be checked before delivery, particularly because the machine weighs 354kg.
The 1,055rpm, 450G extraction spin leaves a stated 46% residual moisture content at full load. Lower retained water means textiles enter the tumble dryer less saturated, which can reduce drying time and the dryer energy required per load. PowerBalance monitors the final spin and adjusts performance to maintain effective extraction when loads are unevenly distributed.
Compass Pro provides a clear multilingual control interface with established commercial programmes, including the 6G01 General Eco programme. This helps maintain consistent operation where several staff members or shift teams use the machine. It supports both manual chemical addition and automatic dosing through five liquid signals, allowing detergents and wash chemicals to be introduced at the appropriate stages of a cycle.
Consider the typical dry weight of your linen or workwear loads, peak-demand periods and whether you can consistently build near-full loads. A 20kg commercial washing machine can suit operations handling substantial volumes, but an oversized machine may be inefficient for frequent small loads. Automatic Savings load weighing helps by adjusting water intake for partial loads, but workflow and throughput should still guide sizing.
