Why Westinghouse washing machines are built for busy households
Westinghouse understands how much every minute matters to busy households, which is why they engineered their washing machine range to be full of time-saving features.
“Westinghouse washing machines give you more control over how you do your laundry with their smart speed wash programs,” says Peter Simic, The Good Guys Buyer – Laundry. “They combine that with a focus on durability and easy-to-use interfaces to make some of the best washing machines for overstretched families.”
Here are five ways a Westinghouse washer and dryer could make laundry day fly by…
1. Use fast wash cycles for everyday loads
If you’re using the exact same standard cycle for every single load, you’re likely waiting hours for clothes that only need a quick refresh. Forcing regular, everyday laundry through a heavy-duty cycle wastes time, water and power. Westinghouse washing machines come equipped with three smart speed options tailored to your schedule:
Fast 15: Refresh urgent, lightly soiled items in 15 minutes.
Daily 39: Wash your daily essentials in under 40 minutes.
Full Load 60: Wash a full load of dirty clothes in only one hour.
2. Choose the right capacity to wash more in fewer loads
Why run two loads when you can do it all in one? Upgrading to a larger-capacity washing machine is the ultimate shortcut to slashing your laundry time in half. Fewer cycles also mean less waiting for clean clothes. Use our quick guide below to find the perfect washer size for your household… Westinghouse Washers and Dryers: Choosing the Right Model for Your Home

3. Extract water with a high-speed spin cycle
The less moisture in your clothes when they leave the washing machine, the quicker they’ll dry on the line or in the dryer. A high-speed spin cycle pulls water out of clothing at the end of the wash, reducing your total laundry turnaround time. Westinghouse washing machines such as the 10kg Front Loader feature drum spin speeds of up to 1400 RPM, extracting more water so laundry day is done and dusted – faster.
4. Pair your washer with a Westinghouse dryer for seamless laundry flow
Laundry day doesn’t stop when the washing cycle is done – the real time-drain happens between the washing machine and the folding bench. Pairing your washer with a Westinghouse dryer is the easiest way to streamline your entire routine from start to finish. Select Westinghouse models feature smart settings engineered to get you away from the laundry rack faster:
SpeedDry program: Gets last-minute uniforms or light outfits dry and ready to wear in just 30 minutes.
MixDry cycle: Saves you from tedious sorting by safely drying cottons and synthetics together in a single load.

5. Keep your machine running efficiently with simple maintenance
A neglected machine plagued with error messages can bring laundry day to a halt, whether it’s from a blocked lint filter, detergent build-up or an obstructed water drain. By keeping up on maintenance and running a regular drum clean cycle with a washing machine cleaner, you can get better cleaning results with fewer headaches. This could also help expand the lifespan of your washer and avoid costly washing machine repairs.
