Haier HWF75AW3 7.5kg Front Load Washer

This affordable washer from renowned brand Haier has multiple cycle options and a big drum capacity for heavy loads like quilts and towels. Fifteen specialised wash cycles will treat your clothes with respect, including settings for wool and synthetics, and a dedicated steam refresh cycle to spruce up clothes that have been in storage or in the wardrobe for a while. Hygiene mode washes at

higher temperatures to banish bacteria, while Eco wash mode lowers the temperature and conserves energy. There's also an Express15 cycle to give urgent and last minute items a quick clean – and you can set the timer to complete the wash cycle at a convenient time for unloading. Maintenance is easy, with a dedicated drum clean cycle and antibacterial door seal to keep the inside fresh and clean.

Another good entry-level washer, this one has a large drum opening for easy loading/unloading and large items – plus you can pause the cycle and add that forgotten sock! A full load will take around 60 minutes, and there's also a quick 39-minute cycle for light loads. A timer can be set to end the wash cycle when you have time to unload, so that wet clothes aren’t left sitting in the drum, and the spin speed can be adjusted up to 1200 RPM to reduce drying times.

control and monitoring of cycles, tracking history, and downloading additional cycles – all from your phone! The Allergy Care cycle uses steam to eliminate nasties, and the wash cycle can be paused to add forgotten items before the spin cycle begins – however, the door will remain locked if the water level and temperature is too high.
