You're getting an A+++ efficiency rating here, so it uses very little energy. To put it in simple terms, you'll save over £100 during the life of the machine, compared to a standard A rated model. That's fantastic value considering it’ll wash 40 T-shirts per load in the big 8kg drum. 

The 3D Aqua Spa feature system gives you a thorough clean by using extra water jets to soak your clothes, which gets your detergent working faster. With VarioPerfect technology you can choose between the energy efficient EcoPerfect cycle or the faster SpeedPerfect option. Just push a button and it'll work out the best speed, water level and temperature for each wash. Clever.

The Super Quick 15' cycle is ideal, and very handy if you’re rushed for time. The special padding in the AntiVibration Design absorbs the sound of your wash too - at 54 dB it's barely louder than your fridge freezer.

This Beko model is really affordable and with an A++ energy rating it won’t cost the earth to run either. You’re getting a 9kg drum, which is great if you’ve got a lot of bods in your house as it can hold up to 45 t shirts.

The auto water reduction technology judges how much water needs to be used for each wash, so you don’t use more than you need to. You’ll save loads on your water bills. The delay timer comes in really handy too. You can set the machine to come on later at night when electricity bills are cheaper. 

You’ve got some really useful settings on this model, for example the quick wash setting will get your entire wash load clean in just 39 minutes! If you’re not much of an ironer, you’ll make great use of the anti-crease setting too.  

Get lots done at once with the 9kg drum in this huge Hotpoint. It’ll take the equivalent of 45 T-shirts, so you can turn two small loads into one big load and save yourself a full wash. You can even speed up your laundry by using the 1600 spin speed to make your drying times much shorter. You’ll have some extra pocket money too, as the A++ means this washer uses much less energy per wash than normal models, saving you a pretty penny in the process.

Turn pennies into pounds with the Eco wash setting, as this option helps you save up to 70% on your wash costs. It’ll take a little longer than your normal wash, but if speed is the key you’ll earn back valuable minutes with the Time Saver option – shorten any wash cycle with the push of a button. You can protect those with sensitive skin with the Anti Allergy wash, as the extra rinses get rid of excess detergent and pollens that can cause irritation.

This brilliant Hotpoint makes your laundry a breeze and with the Super Silent Motor, it’s not going to cause you any headaches while it’s running. Stunning value for such useful features.

Well suited to a 2 or 3 person family, the 6kg drum inside this Hotpoint means it’ll hold the equivalent of 30 T-shirts at once. It’ll even hold all the sheets and pillowcases from your double bed, making laundry day much easier.

The anti stain cycle maintains water temperature at precisely 40°C, making sure that your detergent has longer to lift out stubborn marks in your fabrics. There’s an anti allergy cycle too, extremely helpful if anyone in your home suffers from hay fever or sensitive skin. It adds extra rinses to your wash, thoroughly getting rid of allergens.

Plus if you need to save time on your wash, you've got 30 minute and 60 minute quick washes. Ideal for school uniforms or sports kits that you might need cleaning in a hurry.

The 7kg drum in this LG holds 35 T-shirts per load, and it’s very clever at getting your wash done well thanks to the intelligent wash system. Sensors in the drum detect and adjust imbalances while the wash is running, so you’ll get the perfect wash results with every load. It also makes sure you only use the water and energy necessary for the size of the load you're running, so it’ll save you money too.

If you like the idea of whisper-quiet laundry, you’ll love the Direct Drive motor. It’s extra reliable thanks to the beltless design, and operates almost silently. You definitely won’t be bothered by this washer while it’s running. LG even give it a 10 year guarantee as standard, so it's an excellent investment.

The LED control panel is nifty too. It shows you the running time of your chosen cycle and any error message really clearly, so you’ll always know what’s going on. It'll even tell you how long is left on your wash, so you don't have to keep popping in and out of the kitchen.
