A freestanding washing machine is the most flexible way to do laundry at home. It fits a standard space under a worktop or in a utility room, connects to the water supply and waste, and can move with you. Before buying, measure the gap, check the door has room to open fully and make sure the floor is solid and level, because a firm base cuts vibration during the spin.

Caple's freestanding washing machines are built for larger households, with plenty of wash programmes for mixed everyday loads. The product page has the drum size, spin speed and energy figures. If you need a dryer to go with it, see Caple tumble dryers, or look at everything on the Caple washing and drying page.
