Look for a washing machine with wide, clearly-marked detergent compartmentsWhen choosing your new washing machine, in addition to the standard features that you consider such as price, capacity and will it look good in my kitchen please also look carefully at energy efficiency and water efficiency.

Evidently Britain uses more water per head than any other European country and with weather patterns changing and the cost of recycling water getting more expensive in terms of both cost and the environment, we need to change our usage patterns.

Digital displays offer clear information

Action plan: make sure that the washing machine is full and perhaps soak heavily soiled clothes prior to washing, look for washing machines that have wash programmes that allow for half loads or, if you are only a two person household, consider a smaller size washing machine. Also, try and avoid unnecessary pre-wash cycles.

In most instances, the pick up is arranged at the time of ordering the product and arranging the delivery time The main things to consider are:
  • Budget
  • User reviews
  • Reliability of brand & Best Buy (source Which?)

  • Size of machine - do you wash for a large family or just yourself
  • Will it fit or do you need a compact washing machine?
