What To Look Out For

Load Capacity

Choose the Right Load Capacity for Your Home

Load capacity determines the size of the drum — and the bigger the drum, the more laundry you can wash in one go. Whether you’re doing smaller 6kg loads or need a powerhouse with a 14kg capacity, there’s a machine to suit every household. Not all washing machines are built the same — trusted brands like Bosch offer superior build quality, advanced features, and a 5-year warranty for extra peace of mind.

Choosing an Energy-Efficient Washing Machine

Opting for an energy-efficient washing machine is a smart decision — not only for the planet, but also for your energy bills. The higher the energy rating, the more efficiently the machine uses electricity and water, helping you save over time. Washing machines with an A energy rating are among the most efficient on the market, making them a smart long-term investment.

Trusted brands like Bosch, Siemens, and Neff offer a wide range of high-performing, energy-efficient models. When choosing your next machine, consider both the energy label and the brand's reputation to ensure you're making a choice that’s both economical and environmentally responsible.

Noise Level

When shopping for a washing machine, don't overlook the importance of noise level — measured in decibels (dB). The lower the dB rating, the quieter the appliance will be.

Quiet washing machines are ideal for open-plan homes, flats, or households where the machine is located near living or sleeping areas. In contrast, slightly louder models might still be suitable for larger properties or kitchens with doors that can help contain the noise.

Trusted brands like Bosch, Siemens, and Neff offer some of the quietest washing machines available — If peace of mind is important to you, explore our range of ultra-quiet Washing Machines with the Quiet Mark and enjoy powerful cleaning without the unwanted noise.
