Washing machines

A washing machine should be chosen first by how much laundry you wash each week: an oversized drum often runs half empty. Spin efficiency determines drying time, and noise level matters in a flat. Top loaders suit narrow spaces. The long list of programmes on the dial is of little use, as most households only ever use a handful.

What we rate in this category

Every product in the category is rated from 0 to 100 on these criteria : the same for all of them, whichever merchant sells it.

Read the full method
Washing capacity
Measures the weight of laundry the drum holds in one go, the longer the bar, the more you can wash in a single load.
Water per cycle
Measures the amount of water used for a wash cycle, the longer the bar, the less water the machine uses.
Spin noise
Measures the sound level during the spin cycle, the loudest phase, the longer the bar, the quieter the machine.
Spin speed
Measures the maximum drum speed during spinning, the longer the bar, the drier the laundry comes out.
Energy over 100 cycles
Measures the electricity used over one hundred wash cycles, the longer the bar, the less the machine weighs on the bill.
Price position
Compares the price found to that of comparable washing machines, the longer the bar, the better the deal.

350 to 600 €

Drum size grows, spinning becomes more effective and operation gets quieter, suited to regular family use.

Over 600 €

Large capacity, powerful spin and very low noise, with sensors adjusting water and duration to the actual load.
