Purchasing a new washing machine is a major household decision. With a vast array of models, features, and energy ratings, the selection process can quickly become overwhelming. This guide is designed to help you understand the technical features and make an informed decision that suits your needs. As a Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, I have compiled objective information and product data to give you a clear overview of relevant criteria and current models.
Before you make a decision, several fundamental factors should be considered. These criteria will help you narrow down the options to appliances that are right for your household and requirements.
Energy efficiency is a crucial factor for long-term costs. The new EU energy label, in effect since 2021, uses a scale from A (very efficient) to G (less efficient). A washing machine with energy efficiency class A consumes significantly less electricity and water per wash cycle, which translates into noticeable savings on your utility bills over the years. Pay attention to the energy consumption per 100 wash cycles (in kWh) and the water consumption per cycle (in litres) indicated on the label.
The choice of design primarily depends on the space you have available.
The capacity (in kg) should match your household size:
Modern washing machines offer a range of convenience features to simplify daily life. For example, a washing machine with a steam function can refresh clothes and reduce wrinkles, making ironing easier. A smart washing machine with app control allows for remote operation and monitoring of the wash cycle via your smartphone.
For apartments or open-plan living spaces, a quiet washing machine is essential. The noise level is indicated in decibels (dB) for both the wash and spin cycles. Appliances with a brushless inverter motor are often quieter, more durable, and more energy-efficient. Before buying, many users consult technical data sheets and compare the noise emission specifications listed in washing machine reviews.
Here is a selection of models that stand out for their specific features and technical specifications.
What sets this model apart: The Haier I-PRO Series 5 combines a generous capacity with intelligent features. Its beltless Direct Motion Motor ensures quiet, low-vibration operation. The machine can be controlled via the hOn app, which also provides access to a wide variety of wash programmes.

Energy efficiency class A is the highest rating on the A to G EU energy label scale, which has been in effect since March 2021. Appliances in this class are among the most economical on the market. Compared to lower-rated appliances, they use significantly less electricity and often less water, which reduces operating costs over the lifespan of the device.
A washing machine is considered quiet if its noise emission during the spin cycle is below 72 dB. Particularly quiet models can achieve levels around 70 dB or even lower. The noise level during a normal wash cycle is typically much lower. This information is especially important if the machine will be placed in a kitchen or near living areas.
A steam function can be worthwhile for several reasons. It can be used to quickly refresh lightly worn clothes without running a full wash cycle. Steam also helps to smooth out wrinkles in shirts or blouses, reducing the need for ironing. For allergy sufferers, a steam programme can be beneficial as the high temperatures help to reduce allergens and bacteria.
