What do you need to know before buying a washing machine?
- Freestanding or integrated? Choose between a freestanding appliance, which can be placed anywhere with water access, and an integrated model that sits hidden behind a cabinet door for a flush, seamless kitchen aesthetic.
- How big is your household? A compact 7kg to 8kg drum is ideal for smaller households, while larger families will benefit from a washing machine with at least 10kg capacity.
- What items will need washing? If you are looking to wash larger loads, such as duvets and bedding, all at once, then a 13kg washing machine could be the perfect choice for you. If you’re still not sure, read our washing machine size guide.
How to choose the right washing machine
- Quick wash programmes can be a lifesaver. Rapid 15-minute quick washes for when you are short on space and time with a small load, to steam hygiene cycles that eliminate allergens and bacteria.
- Keep your energy bills down. If energy efficiency is a priority, look for high-rated eco washing machines to help reduce your electricity and water costs.
- Keep on top of your laundry, even when you’re away from home. For busy homes, smart connected models featuring Wi-Fi control allow you to start, pause, and monitor your laundry straight from your smartphone.
- Your washing machine doesn’t have to make a racket, disturbing the baby or your neighbours during its spin cycle. If you’re looking for the quietest washing machine, you can sort the results on our website by the quietest models, which our customers find helpful. Bosch, Miele, and Siemens are popular brands for our customers.

Washing Machine FAQ's
What is the typical lifespan of a washing machine?
The average lifespan of a washing machine is about 10 to 14 years, depending on usage and maintenance.
How much detergent should I use?
The amount of detergent needed varies based on the machine and the load size. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific recommendations. Overusing detergent can lead to excess suds and can harm the machine.
How can I make my washing machine last longer?
Regular maintenance, such as cleaning the lint filter, descaling, and checking hoses for wear, can prolong the life of your washing machine.
What is a washing machine drum capacity?
Drum capacity refers to the amount of laundry that can fit in the washing machine for a single cycle. It is usually measured in kilograms.
Is a higher spin speed better?
A higher spin speed will generally remove more water from your clothes, reducing drying time. However, it may also be more harsh on delicate fabrics.
Why is my washing machine shaking during the spin cycle?
Shaking can be caused by an unbalanced load or an uneven floor. Make sure to evenly distribute your laundry in the drum and check if the machine is level.
What does the 'quick wash' function do?
The 'quick wash' function is designed for lightly soiled items and reduces the washing time significantly. However, it may not be as effective for heavily soiled clothes.
Is it necessary to leave the washing machine door open after use?
It's a good practice to leave the door open after use to allow the interior to dry, preventing mould and odours.
How do I clean my washing machine?
Regular cleaning is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of your machine. You can run a hot water cycle with a washing machine cleaner or vinegar to remove detergent build-up and lime scale. Don't forget to clean the detergent drawer and door seals as well.
Can I wash all types of fabric in my washing machine?
Not all fabrics are suitable for machine washing. Delicate materials like silk, wool, and lace may require hand-washing or a specialised cleaning process. Always check the care labels on your garments for washing instructions.
