Affordable washing machine: what you should keep in mind

If you want one of the most affordable washing machines, choose a washing machine up to € 450. Keep in mind that these models aren't as energy-efficient and don't have extra functions like automatic detergent dosing. An affordable washing machine within this price range also doesn't last as long due to the basic or mid-range build quality. All washing machines do have start delay, which is very convenient. This allows you to decide when the wash cycle starts yourself.

What to expect:

• Basic or mid-range build quality
• Not energy-efficient in most cases
• No useful functions
• Start delay: decide when to start the wash cycle yourself

All affordable washing machines between € 450 and € 500 have a laundry-care drum. This means that the washing machine doesn't damage your clothes and your shirts and pants stay in good condition for longer. Within this price range, you'll find washing machines that are more energy-efficient. This is because of the load sensor. This sensor adjusts the cycle according to the amount of laundry. As a result, you save water and energy when the load is smaller and you can still wash energy-efficiently in this case.

What to expect:

• A laundry-care drum
• Energy-efficient washing machines
• Often a load sensor
• Mid-range build quality on average

Are you looking for an affordable washing machine with a mid-range build quality? Choose a washing machine between € 500 and € 600.

The multiple leak protection also reduces the chance on leaks.

What to expect:

• Often a self-cleaning detergent drawer
• Regular and lower noise level
• Mid-range build quality
• Multiple leak protection
