How to choose the right washing machine
Compare washing machines by the things that matter most in everyday laundry: drum size, spin speed, energy rating, programme choice, noise level and installation type. Whether you need a simple replacement, a family-sized machine or a model with smarter fabric care, this page helps you narrow down the right options.
A smaller household may only need a 7kg drum, while families often benefit from 9kg or more. If you regularly wash bedding, towels, uniforms or sportswear, a larger drum and faster spin can make weekly laundry easier to manage.
Quick wash programmes, steam care, automatic dosing, smart controls and quieter motors can all be useful, but the best choice depends on your routine. Focus on features you will use often rather than specification alone.
Explore washing machines for different household sizes, budgets and laundry habits.
