What we do
WashWise compares washing machines and washer dryers sold in the UK. We focus on the things that matter day to day: how well a machine cleans, how much it costs to run, how loud it is, whether it fits, and how long it is likely to last.
How we compare machines
We do not run our own laboratory. Instead, we bring together and cross-check:
| Source | What we use it for |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer specifications | Drum size, spin speed, dimensions, features, warranty |
| UK energy labels | Energy class, kWh per 100 cycles, water use, noise |
| Independent test publications (e.g. Which?, Expert Reviews, Mumsnet) | Cleaning, rinsing and reliability findings |
| Owner surveys and brand awards | Long-term satisfaction and reliability |
| UK retailer listings | Availability and guide prices |
Where we could not confirm a specification, our tables say check label rather than guess.
Prices
Prices change daily. The figures on our pages are guide prices seen at UK retailers in 2026. Always check the current price, delivery and installation costs before you buy.
How we make money
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you buy through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never decides which machines we include or how we rank them. Read our full affiliate disclosure.
