Cons:

• No Explicit Wi-Fi/IOT Features: The “IOT” in the model name (Novante IOT) is mentioned, but the provided features do not detail any specific Wi-Fi connectivity or smart app control functionalities (like remote control, cycle download etc.). This might be an oversight in the provided spec sheet. If it truly lacks explicit IOT features, then the “IOT” in the name could be misleading for a user expecting smart connectivity.
• Single Water Inlet (Implied): Most top-load machines have a single inlet; direct hot water connection is not explicitly mentioned (as the heater is in-built).

The Havells Fully Automatic Top Load Novante IOT 8.5 kg Washing Machine (GLWT855N12CB) is an exceptionally intelligent, hygienic, and efficient choice for Indian large families. Its in-built heater for anti-bacterial washing, combined with the Intelli Inverter Motor and 12 i-Sense Technology, delivers superior cleaning and care for clothes.
