What to look for in washing machine deals

A washing machine deal is only good value if the machine matches your household. Capacity is the first check: 5 to 7kg suits singles and couples, 8 to 10kg suits a family of four, and 9kg or more suits larger households or anyone who regularly washes bulky items like doonas and towels. Load type is the second: front loaders use less water, are gentler on fabrics and can be stacked with a dryer, while top loaders complete cycles faster, allow loading without bending down and are generally cheaper at entry level.

What size washing machine do you need?

Capacity is one of the most practical starting points when comparing washing machine deals. It determines how many kilograms of laundry a machine handles per cycle, and choosing the right size avoids running multiple loads or paying for more machine than you need. Washing machines at The Good Guys fall into three broad capacity categories.

Capacity category

Drum size

Best suited to

Small washing machines

Generally 5 to 7kg

Singles, couples or households with limited laundry output

Medium washing machines

Around 7 to 9kg

Small families or households of three to four people

Large washing machines

9kg and above

Larger households, families with children, or regular washing of bulky items like doonas and towels

A family of four typically works well with a machine in the 8 to 10kg range. An 8kg drum handles standard weekly loads from a family of four without splitting cycles, so if you are choosing between 8kg and 10kg during a sale, the 10kg is the more practical purchase only if the household regularly washes bulky items like doonas. Singles and couples can generally manage with a 5 to 7kg model without running partial loads. Checking drum capacity against your average weekly laundry output before buying prevents undersizing or oversizing.

Should you choose a front load or top load washing machine?

Load type affects how a washing machine fits into your laundry space, how it uses water and energy, and how easy it is to load and unload. Both configurations are widely available across washing machine deals and suit different household setups.

Front load washing machines use a tumbling action that is gentler on fabrics and uses less water per cycle than top loaders. They can be stacked with a compatible dryer using stacking and venting kits, which suits smaller laundry spaces where floor area is limited. Some front load models also include steam functions that help lift stubborn stains and reduce allergens in fabric.

Top load washing machines allow loading without bending down and typically complete cycles faster than equivalent front loaders. They are generally lower-priced at entry level and do not require a door seal, which removes one potential maintenance point over time. The washing machine buying guide covers the full comparison between load types with plain-language guidance on which suits different households.

Best features to look for in washing machine deals

Modern washing machines include a range of features beyond basic wash cycles. Comparing these across models shows which deal offers the best practical value for your household. Features that reduce running costs or simplify laundry routines are worth prioritising over headline specifications alone.

Auto-dosing washing machines measure and dispense the correct amount of detergent automatically based on load size. This reduces detergent waste and removes the guesswork from each wash. Auto-dosing is available on a growing number of mid-range and premium models from brands including Samsung and Miele.

Washer dryer combos combine both functions in a single unit, which makes them a practical choice for apartments or homes without space for two separate appliances. Combo units trade some drying capacity for a single footprint: most combos wash up to 10kg but dry around 6kg, so check the drying drum size alongside the wash capacity before buying.

Features worth checking across washing machine deals:

  • Wash programmes: look for Quick, Eco, Hand Wash and Delicate cycles as a minimum

  • Spin speed: higher RPM (typically 1200 to 1600 RPM) removes more moisture before drying, which cuts dryer time and energy use

  • Delay start: lets you schedule washes during off-peak electricity periods, which can reduce running costs

  • Noise rating: measured in decibels (dB); models rated below 70dB during spin are generally considered quiet

  • Steam function: available on selected front loaders; helps address stains and reduce allergens without pre-soaking

How do you buy a washing machine on sale?

  1. Measure your laundry space, including door swing for front loaders and overhead clearance for top loaders.

  2. Choose capacity by household weekly load (7 to 8kg for couples, 9kg or more for families); the washing machine buying guide covers capacity in detail.

  3. Decide front load versus top load: front loaders are gentler on fabrics and more water-efficient, top loaders are typically faster and have higher starting capacities.

  4. Check key features: spin speed (1,200rpm or higher for faster drying), energy and water rating, auto-dosing, steam programs and Wi-Fi.

  5. Compare current deals across Samsung, LG, Bosch, Miele, Fisher & Paykel, Electrolux and Haier.

  6. Confirm delivery, installation and old-machine removal at checkout.

Frequently Asked Questions

There is more to browse across The Good Guys deals range, from TVs and laptops to fridges, dryers and vacuums.

The best time to buy a washing machine on sale in Australia is generally during EOFY, Black Friday or Boxing Day, as these events produce the widest range of deals across brands and capacity tiers. Outside these periods, prices also drop when manufacturers release updated model ranges and retailers move on prior-year stock.

Everyday deals run alongside the major sale events throughout the year, so a washing machine deal is not limited to specific windows. Models discontinued or superseded by newer releases often appear at lower prices before they sell through, which can represent good value on recent appliances with full warranty cover.

When to consider buying outside peak sale periods:

  • When a current model is superseded by a newer release, the previous version typically drops in price

  • Stock movement events at individual store level can produce localised deals outside the main national sale periods

Black Friday washing machine deals in November bring widespread deals across front load, top load and washer dryer combo categories, with sale pricing typically extending through Cyber Monday into early December.

Boxing Day washer deals in late December cover the full range of configurations, and are a strong window for reduced pricing on prior-year models with full warranty cover.

The EOFY sale runs from late May through to 30 June and is one of the most active sale periods for washing machines in Australia, covering the full range from entry-level top loaders through to premium front loaders, washer dryer combos and auto-dosing models across all major brands, with larger reductions commonly available on mid-range front loaders as the financial year closes.

Comparing the best deals on washing machines involves more than the sale price. Capacity, load type, energy and water ratings, available wash programmes and included warranty terms all affect whether a model represents genuine value for a specific household.

Practical checklist for comparing washing machine deals:

  • Capacity: match drum size to household load frequency; 5 to 7kg for 1 to 2 people, 8 to 10kg for families

  • Load type: front load for efficiency and stackability; top load for faster cycles and easier access

  • Energy and water ratings: check both WELS and Energy Star ratings; higher stars indicate lower running costs

  • Wash programmes: confirm the cycles you use regularly (Eco, Quick, Delicates, Hand Wash) are included

  • Spin speed: higher RPM extracts more moisture before drying, reducing drying time

When to replace your washing machine is a useful reference if you are upgrading from an older model and weighing repair costs against a new purchase.

The Good Guys stores can advise on delivery, old appliance removal and installation options at the point of purchase, with plumbing connection services available through third-party providers depending on location.

Washer dryer combos are worth considering if the laundry cannot fit two separate appliances, such as in apartments or smaller homes. The main trade-off is drying capacity. Most combos wash up to 10kg but dry around 6kg, meaning larger loads need to be split for the drying cycle. For households with space for a dedicated dryer, separate appliances give more flexibility and typically handle bulky items like doonas more effectively.

The brand mix shifts as stock moves, but the washing machine range at The Good Guys typically covers Samsung, LG, Fisher & Paykel, Bosch, Miele, Electrolux, Haier and ASKO. Use the brand filter on this page to see which brands have current deals, then compare models within the brand you prefer.
