Running Costs and Value
Design and Ease of Use Look for style and simplicity. If your washing machine takes up a prominent space in your kitchen then it had best look good. We also look for simple, easy to understand controls.
Washing Quality
we put all of our washing machines to the test against a test strain strip of wine, coffee, blood, ketchup, fruit juice and engine oil, always using the same, branded non-bio washing detergent.
Spin Efficiency We weigh clothes before and after each wash to determine how much water has remained. Too much water still residing in your clothes means they’ll take an age to dry, which is just plain irritating.
Noise ∗ We measure the noise in decibels for every machine during it spin and wash cycles and compare it to the manufacturer claims. ∗ We also keep an ear out for knocking noises that will prove distracting.
Running Costs and Value ∗ We calculate the approximate annual running cost based on typical UK usage for every machine using full, half loads and eco modes. ∗ We also look at whether the machine is good value based on the features and performance on offer compared to other machines at the same price.
