All machines are graded from 'A' to 'E' for Wash performance, Energy
efficiency and Spin efficiency with "A-Grade" being the best
in each area. For the best of the best - look out for "AAA-Grade" models.
Wash performance - An "A- Grade" in Wash performance is awarded to
machines which give the best wash results and prove to be the most efficient
at removing stubborn stains.
Energy Efficiency - An "A-Grade" Energy Efficient machine will save
you money by using less water and electricity.
Spin efficiency - Machines given an "a-Grade" for spin efficiency will
reduce drying time by extracting more water from your wash than other machines.
The greater a washing machine's drum capacity the more washing you can do at
any one time. Large capacity machines are useful for washing bulky items like
duvets or bath towels but you should also be aware that washing smaller loads
in a large drum will reduce creasing and make ironing easier
The higher a machine's spin speed the faster water is extracted from your wash. This is an especially useful consideration for those who do a lot of washing as faster spin speeds mean less drying time.*
If your wash regularly includes delicate items such as fine cottons or silks, you may wish to consider a machine with 'variable spin speed' as this feature allows you to select a lower spin speed to better protect your garments.
All washing machines include a number of programmes and special features to help you get the most from your machine. The following are a few of the most useful to look out for: -
Economy wash - reduces running costs by using less water, electricity and detergent
Silk wash - washes at a lower temperature to protect delicate garments
Light load - ideal when you only want to wash a small number of items
Hand wash - a gentle programme to let you wash clothes marked "hand wash only" in your machine
Washer dryers combine the features from washing machines and tumble dryers in one machine, but are the same size as a conventional washer, so are ideal if space is an important consideration.
All washer dryers feature a condenser type dryer so there's no need
to fit a venting kit
