Upgrading or replacing this essential household appliance needn’t cost the earth with The Good Guys in your corner. We can help you find the best value washing machines. We’re talking about low-cost washing machines that roll up their sleeves to get the job done, while also delivering on the latest tech and features to save you time and energy every washday (hello, auto dosing and Buzz Lightyear-fast cycles!).

Are Cheap Washing Machines Good?

Absolutely! “Buying a lower cost washing machine doesn’t have to mean missing out on top-tier perks,” says Peter Simic, The Good Guys Buyer – Laundry. “There are plenty of budget and mid-range models equipped with up-to-the-minute laundry technology and modern design, so it really does pay to do your homework before you buy.

Who Makes The Best Cheap Front Load Washing Machines?

Leading laundry brands like Solt , Hisense and Haier sell affordable front-loader options packed with hardworking features. “Look for 15-minute speed wash cycles for lightly soiled items, drums that clean themselves to maintain a topnotch wash for your garments, and delayed start so you can wash at the most convenient time to avoid peak power rates and wet clothes sitting in your machine,” says Peter. Longing for a more modern laundry? Hisense also does low-cost models with designer looks – equipped with handy helpers like Pause & Add so you can toss in that rogue sock that’s missed the wash.

Moderately priced models from Samsung can steam clean to revive outfits between washes or use artificial intelligence to suggest cycles. Convinced you’ll have to remortgage the house for cutting-edge smarts like auto dosing – an advanced feature that dispenses the optimum amount of detergent for every load? Think again! LG can set you up with a roomy 9kg washer with ezDispense® for under a grand.

Who Makes The Best Cheap Top Load Washing Machines?

Prefer the faster speed and ‘drop in anytime’ convenience of a top loader? Solt and Haier have your back here, too, with low-price washing machine options in all sizes for the cost-conscious household or apartment dweller. “Expect to see innovative features such as a gentler, pillow drum design to reduce tangling so your clothes last longer; express cycles for last-minute items; delayed start; and even on-trend black finishes,” says Peter.

Westinghouse and LG also step up in the mid-range washer market with models that use the latest inverter technology for whisper-quiet washdays, eco cycles for cost-cutting energy savings, and premix powers to prevent detergent residue from shortening the lifespan of your garments.

Solt offers great value for bigger households with its 12kg top loader that comes with a powerful Pulse+ mode to reduce wash time by up to 40%, as well as autosensing technology to determine the correct H20 level for each load (goodbye, water wastage).
