Best Washing Machines

This washing machine delivers excellent cleaning performance with low noise and efficient water usage. The wash cycles are quick yet thorough, and… Read more

the build quality feels solid and durable. The controls are simple to use, and the spin function leaves clothes almost dry. A great choice for anyone wanting reliability and value.

Jimmy came to repair my Bosch diswasher - 10/10 for excellent service - a pleasure to have someone come out who knows exactly what he is doing - thanks Jimmy - you deserve a pay rise.

Please keep this review in context, my previous two washing machines were front loaders and I am comparing this top loader against that. Pros:… Read more

Support is based in Australia, they were helpful and got back to me re my questions about things within a day Capacity is correct ( or generously measured ) , my last front loader was rated at 6.5 kg and no way could you fit 6.5 kg of clothes in it

Cons: Machine is very noisy compared to my previous two front loaders Water usage seems a lot higher than the front loader so if you were on tank water I don,t think I could recommend this, please see my water usage which has had a significant jump in the last quarter and there have been no other changes in my lifestyle other than getting a new washing machine. The machine does seem rougher on clothes ( I am using the normal/eco cycle ) and I have had a backing strip of cloth which was placed behind the button holes torn torn out from a set of poly cotton pyjamas Also compared to the front loaders there seems to be far less wash options. What I mean by this is that the front loaders had a setting for nearly every type of clothing whereas this machine has way fewer. Also these machines are fairly pricey, hopefully it will have the reputed build quality and longevity it is supposed to have.

Bad experience with Fisher and Paykel – Popular brand however annoying crap in playing up two years time with their stupid codes that constantly beeping non stop. Never this brand again, got LG better !

Have been using this for the last 6 months and works great. My only concern is that it is very noisy in the laundry room. Show details

Extremely happy with this washing machine. Took a while to install as our laundry floor slopes but once done, it is the quietest washing machine I… Read more

have ever had. Lots of cycles to choose from, very eco friendly and love that it estimates load weight and adjusts water usage to suit. And I can totally forget that one sock that escaped the load and add it to the cycle. Winner in my book.

Working fine. After cpl of years doesnt always start when door gets closed. The biggest issue is rust all over eventhogh no open water in these places. Previous waching machines were not getting rusty.

This machine is the worst washing machine I have ever purchased. After only 3 washes I noticed it does not spin the clothes dry. They are still very… Read more

damp. I had to buy a washing machine in a hurry. DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE. EVEN after spinning the clothes twice they still are below standard from my last washing machine.

Best decision I have ever made! My mom has had her speed queen for over 40 years! Excited that this will be the last washing machine I EVER Buy! Show details

AquaStop . MAde in Spain but still super high quality and very impressed by washing, time cycles using SpeedPerfect, sound and vibration! BOSCH IS ALWAYS BETTER

Price does not equate with the quality or performance – I bought a washing from Fisher & Paykel in 2018 & it broke down 6 years later. The price gor this front loader was close to $900. When contact F&P… Read more

for repair they charge $150 for dropping by. The circuit board was found to be defective & they quote almost $400 for a replacement. I found F&P product quality has deterioraded & the price for their products & parts are way too high for poorer quality product. I could just buy a new European brand for less $700 instead of doing the repair.

I agree with ALL of the comments that I've read. In my case the agitator has broken fins after 2.5 years, and the machine occasionally makes a… Read more

grinding noise at start up. I also purchased an extended warrantee from Harvey Norman which I have found very difficult to navigate and also have not had any satisfaction in my attempts to make a claim. There are 2 of us in our household and we wash clothing bedding towels etc. Since the fins are broken the wash in not effective at all, even needing to wash 2 times.

The most problematic washing machine I’ve ever had. We purchased this 2 years ago, and within 3 months the machine started to smoke and catch fire.… Read more

We had it replaced under warranty, and the next machine lasted 12 months. We thought the first one might’ve just been a dud. Lo and behold, after 12 months the second machine started doing the same thing. Still thankfully under warranty, we had it inspected but the electrician couldn’t find much. She decided to replace all internal motors anyway to be safe, and found one had completely seized when she went to replace it. Said this could be the issue and burning smell. Upon having all the parts replaced, it lasted 3 washes before smoking again, two days after getting it back. Sent it back into the shop, couldn’t find anything, they ran it over 20 times trying to recreate the problem. They gave it back, we had it for another 2 weeks working fine, and then smoking AGAIN. I’ve taken videos this time so hopefully we get a replacement or at least a refund. I’m over the back and forth. Do not recommend.

Worst washing machine I have ever purchased Broke down on March 1st under warranty. Technician attended two days later with incorrect part.… Read more

Problem was cockroaches in panel which was not flagged anywhere in any manual otherwise I would have used baits. Also told could have invalidated my warranty by having cockroaches, but how was I supposed to know? I don't get pest sprayed as have an elderly pet but would have put baits down had I known. ETA for fixing is now March 31 so have not had a machine for an entire month. Not good enough Fisher & Paykel

I started using this washing machine in March 2023, I’ve been very happy with how clean my clothes have been and how quiet the machine is until… Read more

today. It has now broken down unable to spin dry the load. I am very disappointed that after 2.5 years the machine has now needed repairs. My Simpson of 18years had never needed repairs I only replaced it because I renovated my laundry.

LOVE IT! – This combo machine is amazing! I purchased this machine as I didn’t have the space for the side by side version. I actually love that the dryer is… Read more

on top as getting clothes out and putting on hangers and onto a rack is much easier. This combo is simple to operate, with many options and able to do large loads ie. sleeping bags, doonas.

What a disaster purchase. Right from the first wash it ripped my bedsheets, the next load it proceeded to fray the clothes being washed and if you… Read more

were game enough to wash them a second time they would come out stretched and paper thin, a lot of the time with multiple rips, holes or even shredded from being stretched to the maximum. For the next few months I tried every cycle, using the lowest spin (400) and the lowest temperature - I tried small loads, big loads, medium sized loads but every wash (even the delicate cycle) had the same result. LG garment care factor = NIL. Even though it was still under warranty (6 months old) neither LG customer service or Harvey Norman wanted to know or assist, insinuating user fault. I never received a single call back from LG or Harvey Norman at any time during my dealings with these disgraceful organisations. NEVER again will I have an LG product in my house or step foot in a Harvey Norman store again after being treated so appallingly and spoken down to by the HN department manager when I dare question the delivery/installation procedure as a possibility for damage in transit. I thought it was reasonable to at least look into it because when I requested the installers leave me the travel bolts they said this machine doesn't come with any. The HN dept mgr rejected any such possibility with the reason being that travel bolts can only be used once, they are not reuseable and if I should ever need to move the machine I should just fill up the drum with clothes. Well, that excuse was an insult to my intelligence and should be a huge red flag to the Harvey Norman franchise, and it was the final straw for me. My last contact he promised to phone me back in 20 minutes with an update - that was 5 days ago...... some things just don't change.

Washing machine broke down after 13 months and had to wait for a while to get a replacement. Please strongly reconsider if you are thinking of buying a product from AEG Show details

Machine lasted 2.5 years. Lost out on 2 years warranty. Started locking and not rinsing. Then it would just fill with water and we had to manually rise. Then the motor died out. Show details

to clean or $$$ to get it serviced. After 20++ cleans we gave up on getting it out. Tub clean meant to be hot but only selects cold and uses cold. Hot hose is definitely working/connected. Noticed the sensor hasn't been sensing the water level correct for a while too.

Had machine for under three year bottom of machine rusted out,don’t live close to the beach. Show details

If you like your clothes almost almost destroyed, pulled apart and strangled to death then this is the one for you. Now I'm stuck with this piece of trash. Do not buy.

Rust/corrosion not covered under 5 year warranty – Purchased this 8kg Front Load Washing Machine through Costco coming up to 4 years ago. After taking the front panel off to clear the pump noticed… Read more

the bottom of the machine had started to corrode under the panel. I emailed whirlpool with my concerns of the corrosion and was asked to send photos of the damaged. Then another email requesting full photos of the machine. Third email was a reply that the rust is not covered in the 5 year warranty. This is the response received by whirlpool. “The rust in the unit is usually not covered under the warranty. It occurs due to surrounding moisture and in order to remove the issue of rust, Maintenance and cleanliness of unit is must. Since rust are external issue not a manufacturing defect, we are unable to assist you at the stage. Please keep unit safe and clean in order to avoid further rusting of the unit.” It’s a washing machine that has water going through it at least 4 times a week. And the rust was covered by the front panel. The area has never been under water

Not good enough. Why is Sphere not making any improvements over the years on a product that is clearly nothing but junk. This is our second… Read more

replacement needed in our 2021 Jayco Silverline. These washing machines only have a 12 month warranty and they don`t last much longer than that, before needing another replacement due to further faults and breakdowns. NOT GOOD ENOUGH SHPERE!!

Ideal Camping Companion – We looked at these ages ago but thought nope a bucket will do. A friend of ours just bought one and said its the best thing they ever bought for… Read more

camping. So here we are...

Wow, I'm so impressed with the quality of the materials its solid and sturdy and its soooo easy to use!! If im being completely honest though, it will be interesting to see how it is a year from now.

We literally just un-boxed it and 5 mins later using it. I took videos to share BUT had to really cut one down showing it working but couldnt include the spin cycle..which is a shame!!! Another one is of the clothes on the line after to show how much moisture extracted from the spin.

Use: Camping We regularly 2-3 times per year camp on the beach for at least 1 week to 4 weeks at a stretch. This machine for us is a time saver, as we usually have to wait for laundry build-up and then drive 30+ ks on the beach, through Noosaville traffic only to sit at a laundromat...$10 per load, to the drive back hang ect. Now we can do it in camp, we have enough water and power to run it, so we can't wait next week to use it!

Instructions: We found them to very easy and uncomplicated. Owners manual has diagrams as well as written ones with installation, power requirements, advice and tips down to a washing guide for the different clothing types and corresponding recommended cycle to set for them.

For our first load, we washed 4 heavier types of clothing with light soiling to see how it went and we are very happy. The spin cycle is very smooth and there's no soggy clothes as you can spin it out as many times as you need!

We hooked it up to the normal garden hose at home, and it worked perfectly or you can bucket water in if that's all you have. We have a camp trailer so we can hook it up to using the shower fittings we already have. #winning

It tells you everything from the water level, lint cleaning to what sort of detergent to use. READ the instructions... honestly they couldn't have made it any simpler to follow!

ITS A KEEPER...thanks Black Friday Sales :)

Con: I don't think this is for us, but for heavey items like jeans and beach towels 1 or 2 items per load as it's not built for really heavey loads.

☆☆This is not for normal everyday family use, as in its enough to get you out of trouble or like for camping. IT DOES WHAT IT IS INTENDED USE IS FOR, it may just take a little longer.

Simpson use to be a great Product, but how bad their washing machines are today this 7kg isn't worth a cent, what a piece of Rubbish not even 3yrs old has problems spinning and draining, you should be thrown out of Australia, and the stores.

⭐ 1 STAR – TOTAL RIP-OFF Paid $1,899 for an ASKO front-loader and it’s failing after just 3½ years, making loud grinding noises. ASKO’s response?… Read more

“Not our problem.” They want $99 call-out, $45 per 15 minutes, plus parts and if it’s not fixed, more money to strip it at a service centre. Nearly $2,000 for a machine that can’t last 4 years. That’s not premium that’s a scam. My old Fisher & Paykel lasted 12+ years and cost a fraction. DO NOT BUY ASKO. Overpriced junk with zero support.

Fragile machine - broken after 3 months – Purchased in May '18 and broken by August '18. Developed some alarming clunking noises during wash cycle which then turned into a high pitched… Read more

screech like the sound of stripped gears. Called up service centre and were advised no service available for 4 days and only could come on a day where we are not home. Now have to wait a week and expect that it will be weeks before actual repair can occur so we are family of 5 without washing machine (once again after similar issue with the previous Fisher and Paykal back in May). Sadly it seems there are no longer any decent appliances we can purchase that last. Expect we will also now have to buy another machine as a spare because I cannot even rent a machine for short term. Absolutely fed up with the terrible quality we all now have to put up with.

I bought the Devanti 4.5kg dual washing machine and OMG I wish I got it sooner. It fits in my shower and it does an amazing job! I was so worried… Read more

that it wouldnt fit my queen sized linen, or spin dry anything properly. It is as good as a normal washing machine IMO. The spinner is powerful!! Couldn't be happier. I got mine from BIG W online. In the video, I have a queen fitted sheet in the spinner. It could fit 4 pillow cases too, easily, but i'm just happy to have it so i'm not in a rush.

I bet about a year out it leaks water! – I used to be a seller of these machines, not any more. So many times I have fixed customers machines with the fill hose within the machine cracked… Read more

and leaking. If you get onto it early it may or may not short the drain pump.

I moved to other places and it was exactly the same, I used to go to the dump and scavenge parts of other Simpson's. Fill hose can't handle holding water, deteriorates. But that's the way it's designed. Well they are gone now. Forgot how many I fixed in indigenous communities I got our buying team to source another brand as it was embarrassing to sell a product that died so soon, often just out of warranty. That would have been 1000s of sales lost for Simpson. I have not sold Simpson products ever since, I hope Simpson has done better. .
