For a user, this means that the machine is very quiet in operation and has very low energy consumption combined with excellent performance and durability. Very small loads (under 1kg) can be washed to the same economy as a larger load, whilst using less time, resources, and detergent to do so

Finally, the machine is equipped with a reliable AquaStop system. Its feed hose is double-walled for better durability and leakage protection. Besides, the unit uses a floor tank with a float switch and a safety valve. Both these features will prevent any kind of water leakage and prolong the unit's service life.

This is the general norm for most washing machine manufacturers and it doesn’t normally pose a problem for most households – if you have a large enough utility/kitchen, you will be able to accommodate the machine easily in any spot.Drum size - Consider how many washes a week you usually do and what kinds of loads you wash. Most families can comfortably get by on a 7kg to 8kg drum washing machine, although larger-capacity machines let you wash more at once, saving time. Larger machines also often include special programmes for bulky items, such as curtains and duvets. The Haier HW80-B14636 is one of the quietest washing machines out there. Producing only a 65 decibels full spin noise, the appliance won't disturb you or your family members even during the powerful spin cycle. This is largely achieved owing to the Direct Motion Motor that is incredibly effective and energy-efficient. This motor has a unique construction with fewer moving parts which helps to minimise vibration and noise but maximise the reliability. With 8kg maximum load and 1400 RPM maximum speed, this freestanding unit will handle any washing task easily. The Miele W1 WSG363 has been awarded an ‘A’ energy rating, so it’s one of the more energy-efficient washing machines on the market, using 0.49kWh of energy per cycle.

At only 48dB sound rating (72dB spin sound rating) you will hardly notice the washing machine is working, meaning no disturbance in your home or for your family. Next, you'll find using and maintaining the appliance a breeze. An ergonomic Reload function will come in useful for adding or removing clothes in the middle of the washing cycle; however, it is not possible in case the water level is too high or the operating temperature is above 50°C. The only grumble we have about this machine is that the pump can be noisy at times, especially if you work from home, but it's generally very quiet for most of the wash cycle and has been Quiet Mark certified as a result. Miele washing machines have the door hinge on the right because they’re designed to be placed next to Miele tumble dryers, which have the door hinge on the left.We also recommend you to pay your attention to pre-set programmes and additional features a machine offers.

To help you get the hang of using this machine, the manual includes a comprehensive programme chart with lists of items, washing temperature, maximum load, and helpful tips. For most programmes, you can additionally select the following extras: SingleWash, Pre-ironing, Water +, Pre-wash, Soak, Intensive, Extra quiet, Extra gentle, and AllergoWash. Our tester Zoe says, "Our household consists of four people, and this 9kg machine has proven to be more than capable of meeting our laundry needs. It handles various load sizes with ease, ensuring that our clothes come out clean and fresh every time. The spin rating sits at a B, so the clothes don’t come out as dry as they could but, day in and day out, the Miele WEG665 performs admirably without any hiccups or issues."

Its asymmetrical paddles and droplet-shaped design will direct your laundry right to the drum's centre, providing faster soaking and more effective cleaning of your clothes.

On the cotton wash cycle, there is a button to speed up the programme. I always tend to do this because I don’t see the difference in quality between the short and the long programme, so it’s better for our wallet and for the environment to always run the shorter cycle. Display functions - No one wants to spend hours deciphering icons and figuring out what each wash programme means, so we’d recommend going for a machine that’s not too difficult to use. You want to be able to select the right wash cycle for the fabrics, how long it takes, and the temperature. As such, we think the LG a great option for time-strapped families with large loads of washing to get through. Testet og godkendt af Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences.
