Three tips for buying a washing machine
Front loading: The most common type of washing machine. Choose this for larger households and for longer use, as it usually has greater capacity, is gentler on clothes and uses less water.
Top loading: Top-loaders lack some of the advantages of front-loaders. But they can be smaller and more convenient, and so may be more practical if you live alone or in a tiny flat.
It may be tempting to buy a washer dryer, but they have some downsides: they tend to use more water, have longer washing cycles and do not dry as well as a separate tumble dryer. That said, buying a washer dryer may be a space-saving and money-saving option for you.
This may be stating the obvious, but you should buy a washing machine that has the capacity to cope with the laundry produced in your household. If you’re unsure, there’s a conversion chart that tells you how much capacity you should expect per person in your household. On manufacturer Beko’s website, you’ll find a handy Washing Machine Capacity Guide.
