How to spot a good deal on a washing machine

Rebecca Jakeman, Which? washing machines expert says: More often than not, paying more for a washing machine doesn't guarantee you exceptional cleaning performance. In fact, models with higher price tags tend to offer extra features instead, such as 'smart' capabilities and more washing programs – so there's no need to pay above the odds if you don't want to.

Where is the best place to buy a washing machine?

To find the best shops for home appliances, tech and more, we conducted an online survey of 3,527 members of the Connect panel and the general public in July 2024.

We asked how satisfied people were with the retailer and generated ratings for customer service, value for money, delivery and more for major retailers including AO, Currys and John Lewis & Partners.

How much do you need to pay for a washing machine?

Some washing machines cost less than £300, while others stretch well over the £1,000 mark.

Which? testing shows you’re more likely to end up with a Don’t Buy than a Best Buy if you spend less than £300.

You usually have to pay more than £500 to get a Best Buy. With this budget you can choose between a variety of Best Buys, ranging from big to small, freestanding and integrated.

There are hidden gems to be found, however – check out the best cheap washing machines under £400. 

It's always a good idea to check our washing machine reviews before buying – the most expensive Don’t Buy we’ve found in our tests is nearly £580. That's an expensive mistake to make!

What extra washing machine costs should you consider?

1. Installation and delivery costs

Some retailers charge significantly more than others for delivery.

Some give you no choice over the date or time of the delivery (so you'll need to make sure you're at home that day).

AO charges the most we've seen for a quick delivery and a time slot of your choice – either morning (7am-12pm), lunch (10am-2pm) or afternoon (12-5pm). 

2. Disposal and recycling costs

Disposal costs start from around £20 from each retailer.

AO charges £30 to disconnect your old appliance, but most other retailers include this service in the installation cost of your new machine.

So AO's charge could add £30 to the total cost of your new freestanding appliance. But your total costs could potentially still be less than elsewhere, depending on what combination of services you need.  

Overall, it pays to be flexible about timings if you can. If you're not able to collect, install or disconnect your washing machine, there's not much you can do other than pay the additional fees, so keep that in mind and factor it in to your total budget.

3. Energy running costs

Another cost you need to consider is the amount of energy used to run your washing machine.

Our expert testing has revealed big differences between models, with the most expensive-to-run costing more than four times to run than the cheapest.
