Purchasing a new washing machine is an investment that will impact your daily life for years to come. With rising energy costs and a growing variety of models and features, the selection process is becoming increasingly complex. This guide is designed to help you understand the technical specifications and make an informed decision that fits your household's needs. We present objective criteria and a selection of models to make buying a washing machine easier.
Modern appliances do much more than just clean your clothes. The right features can reduce energy consumption, enhance your living comfort, and simplify laundry care.
Since March 2021, the new EU energy label has been in effect, with a scale from A (highest efficiency) to G (lowest efficiency). A washing machine with an A energy efficiency rating is an investment that pays off in the long run through lower electricity bills. Pay attention to the energy consumption per 100 wash cycles (in kWh) and the water consumption per cycle (in litres) indicated on the label. An energy-efficient washing machine not only saves you money but also conserves precious resources.
The capacity, specified in kilograms (kg), should match the size of your household. For singles or couples, 6-7 kg is often sufficient, while families are better served with a washing machine with 8kg capacity or more. The appliance's dimensions are just as important. Space is often limited in many homes, which is why a slim washing machine with a depth of under 55 cm can be a practical solution without compromising on capacity.
Special programmes and technologies can make daily life significantly easier:
Here is a selection of models that stand out for their specific features and cater to different needs.

A front-load model is the most common type, but depending on your space and personal preferences, a top-load washer might be a better alternative. These models are narrower and can be conveniently loaded from the top.

According to the new EU energy label, the A energy efficiency rating identifies the most economical appliances on the market. A washing machine in this class consumes significantly less electricity and often less water per wash cycle compared to models in lower classes. The exact consumption values (kWh/100 cycles and litres/cycle) are listed on the energy label of the respective appliance.
The noise level of a washing machine is measured in decibels (dB). Models are considered a quiet washing machine if their noise emission during the spin cycle is below 70 dB. The quietest appliances achieve values around 65 dB or lower and are marked with noise emission class A. This is particularly relevant if the machine is placed near living or sleeping areas.
Yes, a washing machine with auto-dosing can be worthwhile for several reasons. It prevents the common issue of overdosing on detergent, which protects textile fibres, helps avoid skin irritation, and is better for the environment. At the same time, it prevents under-dosing, which can lead to unsatisfactory washing results. In the long run, you save detergent and achieve consistently good cleaning performance.
