Things to look out for when buying a washing machine

There are lots of different factors that can make a washing machine great. From it’s energy efficiency, to it’s spin speed. Or from the price, to the drum capacity. This quick overview gives you an idea of what to look out for when buying a new washing machine.

1. Drum Capacity – this is quite a big deal for large families in particular. If you’ve got lots of people in your household you’ll want to look out for those washing machines with larger drum capacities. The HAIER HW120-B1558 and the SAMSUNG ecobubble WF70F5E2W2X have 12 kg and 7 kg capacities, plenty for the average user.
2. Energy efficiency – Keeping track of your energy usage is a good idea for the budget conscious homeowner, and choosing an energy efficient washing machine can really help matters. There are a few specs to look out for to understand the efficiency, the main one is its rating. The HAIER HW120-B1558 has an A+++-30% Energy Rating. Whereas the SAMSUNG ecobubble WF70F5E2W2X has a A+++. Annual energy consumption is also key, the HAIER HW120-B1558 uses 198 kWh per year, whilst SAMSUNG ecobubble WF70F5E2W2X uses – 173 kWh – 9400 litres.
3. Speed – if you’re anything like us at iCompareit, you don’t want to be hanging around for hours waiting for your washing to finish, lets face it, we all have better things to be doing. So speed of the wash is another key factor to take into consideration. Try to keep an eye on the wash time based on a set temperature, for example if you tend to wash at 40 degrees use that as your benchmark for comparison. The wash time at 40 degrees for example on the HAIER HW120-B1558 is 226 minutes for 12 kg whilst on the HAIER HW120-B1558 it’s 171 minutes.
4. Temperature settings – Whilst on the subject of temperatures, that’s another key consideration, if you like to wash at a low temperature like 30 then make sure the table above shows a time for the 30 degree wash, otherwise chances are it doesn’t have a 30 degree setting. Some washing machines even offer a 20 degree setting now too, although that’s much less common.
5. Noise – this used to be a big deal in the past, as washing machines used to cause a right racket, but with better insulation and sound-proofing they’re much quieter these days. However it’s still a useful figure to use for comparison, so check out the Noise Rating of both the wash setting and the spin setting. The HAIER HW120-B1558 has a wash noise rating of 58 dB(A) and a spin rating of 72 dB(A) whereas the SAMSUNG ecobubble WF70F5E2W2X has a wash sound rating of 61 dB(A) and a spin of 79 dB(A)
6. Price – Washing machines can massively vary in price, with smart washing machines demanding a higher price tag. Keep an eye on the price of the unit, and try to stick to a budget. Our systems at iCompareit run automated scans of the major retailers to find you the best price, so when you’re ready just click the “find best price” button and you’ll be directed to the shop that are offering the best deal today.
7. Reviews and Ratings – Why rely on just what the manufacturer tells you, when you can hear it straight from an owner. Ratings and reviews are like gold dust, they’re essential for choosing the right washing machine, which is why we collate reviews from the major retailers and Revoo to help you decide which washing machine is going to better live up to your expectations. The HAIER HW120-B1558 has a review score of 9.5 whilst the SAMSUNG ecobubble WF70F5E2W2X has a score of 8.8.
