Candy washing machines here

Both are standard 60cm-wide freestanding machines that fit a normal washing machine space. See every brand on our freestanding washing machines page.

What they do

• Quick washes for lightly worn clothes when you’re short of time.
• A fast spin takes out more water, so washing dries sooner on the line or in a dryer.
• A steam option to help freshen fabrics.
• A drum clean cycle to keep the machine fresh. Run it every month or so.
• A delay timer and child lock, so you can set a wash to finish when you’re home and keep small hands off the controls.

How to choose between them

How much do you wash?

Drum size is the main difference. Think about your usual load rather than the biggest one. If you often wash bedding, towels or a duvet at home, the larger drum saves splitting loads. If you mostly run small, everyday washes, the smaller drum is the easier fit.

Where will it go?

If the machine sits in an open-plan kitchen or near a living area, compare the spin noise figure on each product page. In a utility room or garage, it matters less. Check the depth too, as the larger drum needs a little more room.

How do you dry your washing?

Both machines spin fast, so clothes come out drier and spend less time on the line, on the airer or in a tumble dryer. If you dry indoors, that makes a real difference.

Running costs

Both carry an A energy rating. You save most by washing full loads at lower temperatures and using the eco programme for everyday washes. Keep the quick wash for lightly worn clothes.

Completing the laundry

These machines can have a tumble dryer stacked on top with the right stacking kit, which saves floor space. Browse tumble dryers and laundry accessories, and check the dryer’s instructions for the kit it needs.

Before you buy

• Measure the space. Check width, depth and height, and allow room behind for the hoses and plug.
• Check the supplies. You need a cold water feed, a waste pipe and a socket close by.
• Check the way in. Measure doorways and tight corners on the route to the kitchen or utility room.
