What should you consider when choosing a washing machine?
Start with installation requirements: front-loading or top-loading, available width, depth including connections and the clearance needed to open the door. The stated capacity refers to a load of dry cotton and varies depending on the programme used. Match it to your laundry volume and the bulky items you wash regularly.
On the energy label, compare electricity consumption per 100 cycles, water use per cycle and the duration of the eco 40-60 programme. Also examine the spin efficiency class and spin noise levels. A high maximum spin speed alone is not enough to distinguish between machines: the available settings, programmes and their load limits also matter.
