Clever laundry innovations help you to care for household garments with ease.

The days of spending hours in the laundry to achieve pristine results are thankfully behind us. Cutting-edge laundry technologies from premium brands, including Miele, AEG, ASKO, Electrolux and Fisher & Paykel, offer optimal care for clothes with far less effort.

What are the key considerations when purchasing laundry appliances?

Performance and Technology

Look for appliances offering smart features such as the Miele 9kg Front Load Washing Machine with automatic detergent dispensing. With two cartridges included, simply fill them with detergent and the machine will do the precise dispensing.

Expert Tip: Overusing detergent can lead to residue build-up on clothing and inside the washing machine. Choosing a machine with automatic dispensing prevents waste and ensures optimal dispensing for each load.

Energy Efficiency

Sustainability is at the heart of modern appliance design, especially when it comes to everyday laundry care. Choose energy-efficient models such as the Miele 8kg Heat Pump Tumble Dryer. As a heat pump dryer with a 10-star energy rating, it combines laundry care, cost savings and environmental benefits in one unit.

Expert Tip: Clean the dryer’s lint filter after every use to maintain airflow and energy efficiency, ensuring your dryer is running at peak performance.

Capacity and Size

Choose appliances that suit your laundry needs and available space. For larger households, machines with greater drum capacity, such as AEG’s 10kg 9000 Series Front Load Washer with AutoDose, are ideal. The generous 10kg capacity can easily handle large loads, making it perfect for growing families. For more compact spaces, models such as the ASKO 8kg Front Load Washing Machine are a good choice.

Expert Tip: To extend the life of your washing machine, avoid overloading the drum. Overloading can strain the motor and lead to uneven washing results.

Fabric Care

For delicate fabrics such as wool or silk, a machine with specialised care settings will help to prevent damage while still delivering a thorough clean. The Electrolux 10kg Front Load Washing Machine with SensorWash has a unique drum design that minimises fabric pulling and ensures a gentle wash. Similarly, Fisher & Paykel’s 11kg Front Loader Washing Machine uses a cushioned drum to provide gentle yet effective cleaning, and offers a 20-minute Steam Refresh cycle to quickly revitalise lightly soiled garments, leaving them fresh and wrinkle-free.

Expert Tip: Always wash delicate fabrics inside a mesh laundry bag to protect them from snagging and friction. For best results, use a mild detergent designed for delicate fabrics.

Durability and Build Quality

Invest in appliances known for longevity and robust construction, such as the Fisher & Paykel Series 11 11kg Front Load Washing Machine with Active Intelligence and Steam Care. Built to last, these machines help to reduce your long-term costs and environmental impact.

Expert Tip: Regularly clean the washing machine’s drum and rubber seals with a mild detergent or a vinegar and baking soda solution to prevent mould and detergent build-up.

Design & Aesthetics

Enhance your laundry space with appliances that are as stylish as they are functional. The ASKO 8kg ProWash Logic Front Load Washing Machine and ASKO 8kg Logic Heat Pump Tumble Dryer feature a polished titanium finish and stainless steel details, bringing a touch of elegance to your laundry while delivering superior performance.

Expert Tip: Keep your appliances looking sleek by wiping down exteriors with a microfibre cloth and mild cleaner. Stainless steel finishes benefit from occasional polishing with a specialised cleaner to maintain their shine.
