A guide to the best washing machines in Australia

Along with a good fridge, cordless vacuum and coffee machine, washing machines are an essential home appliance. Clothes, delicates, towels, bedsheets - there are a lot of things that go through our machines week to week.

So when it comes to replacing these trusted machines, we’re often looking for one that simply keeps up with our daily household needs. The best washing machines are the ones that fit easily in your laundry, have a variety of useful features and perform efficiently, keeping your water and electricity costs down.

It’s November, and that means that Black Friday Sales are just around the corner. Now is the perfect time to consider getting a great deal on a brand new machine. Whether you’re in the market for a top loader, washer dryer combo or just looking for something cost-effective, here are our top picks to help you find the one that’s right for you.

Best front load washing machine: Bosch WAN24120AU

Key features

  • 1200rpm spin speed
  • 8kg washing capacity
  • 4.5 Star Energy Rating
  • 4.5 Star Water Rating (WELS)

If you’re looking for a front loading washing machine, you can’t get past the speed, efficiency and quality of the Bosch WAN24120AU. Ideal for a family of four, the machine has a 8kg capacity and range of 14 different wash programs designed to keep up with the hectic laundry demands of a busy household.

Built in ActiveWater Plus technology means that smaller loads of laundry wash just as effectively as larger loads. The washing machine automatically adjusts the water to match the size of the load, keeping your water bill down and taking better care of your clothes.

Another handy feature of this Bosch washing machine is the EcoSilence Drive motor that’s designed to wash garments with very little noise and less wear on the motor, giving your clothes a powerful wash that doesn’t disturb the peace.
