Washing Machines Buying Guide
Shopping for a new washing machine or washer dryer can be a major headache. In the UK most people replace a washing machine once every five or so years. In this time most washing machines will have at least one repair. Usually, on the second repair most people replace there washing machine rather than to continue to pay for expensive repairs. In this article I have tried to explain what you should be looking for when you buy a new Washing Machine purchase.
When you have decided that you need a new washing machine there is a couple things you need to work out. The most important thing to know is the size of washing machine you are looking for. For a couple of adults a 5KG/6KG washer will be fine, but for a family of two adults and three children you will need a 7kg to 8kg capacity. For very large families and companies you would need to look for large 10kg top loading machines like Maytag and Admiral. The next thing you need to work out before you hit the shops is your budget, your budget will determine your machine make and spec. A top of the range front loading manufacturer Miele can set you back as much as 1300 at the other end of the scale a cheap no frill Creda washing machines will cost as little as 159.
Once you have your type (i.e Front Load, 8KG, washing machine) and price range sorted the next thing to do is pick a couple of brands that you know and like. The best selling premium brand of washing machine in the UK is Bosch, mid range is Hotpoint and bottom of the range is Candy and Creda. For me, Bosch and Siemens washing machines represent the best value for money. They both offer 5 year parts guarantee and come packed with the latest technology. Hotpoint machines are supplied with the latest technology, but they seem to struggle with reliability. If you read the reviews on Unbeatable.co.uk, there seems to be many disgruntled customers that have purchased a Hotpoint washing machine. Zanussi washing machines seem to have the best reviews when it comes to the mid range group of brands. Out of the lower value level brands, Creda definitely come out on top.
Essential specification that you should make sure your new appliance has is a triple AAA energy rating, a long warranty lots of companies now offer more than the standard one years parts and labour. Your new machine should also have a variable speed selection i.e. from 400 to 1400, this helps with water extraction and reduces drying time A half load feature is also an important feature as it saves time and wasted energy. One feature that has become more important over the past few years is 'noise'. Make sure before you buy, you check the sound level of the washing machine. In recent tests, Bosch and Siemens have the UK's most quiet range of washing machines.
