    Things to look out for when buying a washing machine

    There are lots of different factors that can make a washing machine great. From it’s energy efficiency, to it’s spin speed. Or from the price, to the drum capacity. This quick overview gives you an idea of what to look out for when buying a new washing machine.

    1. Drum Capacity – this is quite a big deal for large families in particular. If you’ve got lots of people in your household you’ll want to look out for those washing machines with larger drum capacities. The HOOVER DXA59BC3 and the LG FH4A8FDN8 have 9 kg and 9 kg capacities, plenty for the average user.
    2. Energy efficiency – Keeping track of your energy usage is a good idea for the budget conscious homeowner, and choosing an energy efficient washing machine can really help matters. There are a few specs to look out for to understand the efficiency, the main one is its rating. The HOOVER DXA59BC3 has an A+++ Energy Rating. Whereas the LG FH4A8FDN8 has a A+++-40%. Annual energy consumption is also key, the HOOVER DXA59BC3 uses 246 kWh per year, whilst LG FH4A8FDN8 uses 131 kWh.
    3. Speed – if you’re anything like us at iCompareit, you don’t want to be hanging around for hours waiting for your washing to finish, lets face it, we all have better things to be doing. So speed of the wash is another key factor to take into consideration. Try to keep an eye on the wash time based on a set temperature, for example if you tend to wash at 40 degrees use that as your benchmark for comparison. The wash time at 40 degrees for example on the HOOVER DXA59BC3 is 130 minutes for 4 kg whilst on the HOOVER DXA59BC3 it’s 261 minutes.
    4. Temperature settings – Whilst on the subject of temperatures, that’s another key consideration, if you like to wash at a low temperature like 30 then make sure the table above shows a time for the 30 degree wash, otherwise chances are it doesn’t have a 30 degree setting. Some washing machines even offer a 20 degree setting now too, although that’s much less common.
    5. Noise – this used to be a big deal in the past, as washing machines used to cause a right racket, but with better insulation and sound-proofing they’re much quieter these days. However it’s still a useful figure to use for comparison, so check out the Noise Rating of both the wash setting and the spin setting. The HOOVER DXA59BC3 has a wash noise rating of 58 dB(A) and a spin rating of 79 dB(A) whereas the LG FH4A8FDN8 has a wash sound rating of 52 dB(A) and a spin of 72 dB(A)
    6. Price – Washing machines can massively vary in price, with smart washing machines demanding a higher price tag. Keep an eye on the price of the unit, and try to stick to a budget. Our systems at iCompareit run automated scans of the major retailers to find you the best price, so when you’re ready just click the “find best price” button and you’ll be directed to the shop that are offering the best deal today.
    7. Reviews and Ratings – Why rely on just what the manufacturer tells you, when you can hear it straight from an owner. Ratings and reviews are like gold dust, they’re essential for choosing the right washing machine, which is why we collate reviews from the major retailers and Revoo to help you decide which washing machine is going to better live up to your expectations. The HOOVER DXA59BC3 has a review score of 8.9 whilst the LG FH4A8FDN8 has a score of 8.2.
